Women's Slalom Skis — Lyric Series

Trick & Specialty Skis

• Radar Graviton Trick Ski / Slalom Ski (2026) — CorFlex technology, GNR Rails, Textreme Carbon, PVC Core, Race Base, Bio Resin. Recommended speed: 12–24 MPH (22–40 KPH). Sizes: 41"–43" (up to 100kg). Designed for trick skiing with clean wake pops and predictable landings. A crossover trick and slalom ski for riders who want to explore both disciplines.

How to Choose Between Vapor and Senate

• Vapor — More aggressive shape, higher top-end speed (up to 36 MPH), maximum edge hold and responsiveness. Best for riders who ski at 30+ MPH and want the most performance-oriented shape available.
• Senate — Higher riding profile, more forgiving geometry, crossover performance across a wider speed range (26–34 MPH). Best for riders who want elite-level performance with more versatility across conditions.
• Construction hierarchy — Pro Build (PMI core + Textreme carbon) → Lithium/Graphite (machined PVC or PU Aero Core + Sigmatex/Spread Tow carbon) → Alloy (All-Terrain Core + Paulownia stringers). Higher construction = more responsiveness and energy return.
• Size by weight — Every Radar ski includes a weight-based size chart. Always match your ski length to your weight range for optimal performance.
