2027 Radar Vapor Graphite Slalom Ski

2027 Radar Vapor Graphite Slalom Ski | The Vapor for Water That Isn't Glass

The 2027 Radar Vapor Graphite is the most stable, composed ride in the Vapor series: the new Matt Rini Vapor shape on a machined polyurethane Aero Core with Sigmatex carbon, for course skiing at 30–36 mph (49–58 kph). The Aero Core sits deeper in the water and absorbs chop and boat roll instead of passing it into your feet, so the ski stays connected through variable water while holding speed and direction.

Key Technical Features

• Aero Core: Radar's exclusive polyurethane formulation, machined rather than moulded, with an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Its deeper riding position is what creates the smooth, controlled feel — forgiveness and consistency through every turn.
• Forward Drive Geometry: The 2027 Vapor shape — forebody narrowed by 100 thousandths of an inch, tail widened by 50 — so the ski rolls in earlier, drives the tip down out of the finish and carries speed into the next buoy.
• Sigmatex Carbon: Computer-controlled weaving lays ultra-high-modulus carbon with real precision: a lighter, more consistent laminate with immediate response and clean energy through the finish.
• True Feel Base: The bevel contour is finished in the mould, not sanded in afterwards — more grip and stronger direction through the finish of the turn.
• Closed-Chain Construction and Bio Resin: Every layer bonded into one connected structure so energy travels tip to tail without a dead spot. Radar Lab built.

Why You'll Love It

Intermediate to advanced. This is the Vapor for skiers who get on the water when they can, not when it's perfect — a busy public lake on a Sunday afternoon still feels like a real set. The 30–36 mph range starts two mph lower than the Pro and Lithium, so it also suits course skiers still building speed. Who it isn't for: if you ski at dawn on a private lake and want maximum feedback, the Lithium or Pro Build gives you more. If you free ski more than you run buoys, the Senate Graphite has the same Aero Core on a wider, easier platform.

Quick Answers

Vapor Graphite or Vapor Lithium?
Same 2027 shape. The Graphite's polyurethane Aero Core rides deeper and calmer in rough water and runs 30–36 mph; the Lithium's M-80 foam core is lighter, quicker to react and runs 32–36. Variable water, the Graphite. Glass and a stopwatch, the Lithium.

Vapor Graphite or Senate Graphite?
Same Aero Core construction. The Vapor is the course shape for 30–36 mph; the Senate adds two-tenths of an inch of width for 28–34 mph and is easier to ski when you're not running buoys every set.

Does it come with boots?
No — blank ski with the adjustable fin fitted. Add a front boot and either a rear boot or an ARTP.
