Black Diamond Helio 104 Skis 2025 size 160

evo.com | Black Diamond Skis > The Black Diamond Helio Carbon 104 Skis are the pick for mid-winter touring missions when you know it's going to be deep. Light enough for full days, wide enough to float the goods, and stout enough to stand tall when the going gets gnarly, the Helio Carbon 104 uses a pre-preg Carbon fiber layup over an engineered Paulownia wood core, with plenty of gradual tip rocker and full ABS sidewalls all around to put the power on your edges. We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. ABS Tail Protector PTEX 4500 Base Industry-accepted as the premium base material, this sintered UHMW-PE base provides very high density for excellent durability and wax retention, combined with high carbon content for superior glide. Titanal Binding Plate A high-strength metal plate is embedded underneath the composite layer to ensure that binding screw retention is never a concern. This plate also serves to increase torsional stiffness and provides a solid foundation underfoot. Engineered Paulownia Core Paulownia wood is the material of choice when light weight is required, but compromising downhill performance is not an option. The stiffness and weight properties of paulownia wood make it the go-to material when using carbon fiber layups. Its slightly softer longitudinal stiffness allows for the use of stiffer carbon composites without compromising the flex profile of the ski. It has good compressive and shear properties, which allow for remarkably smooth and chatter-free ski performance at very low weight. | Black Diamond Helio 104 Skis 2025 - 160
