2027 Radar Vapor Lithium Slalom Ski

2027 Radar Vapor Lithium Slalom Ski | Pure Vapor DNA, Refined for Control

The 2027 Radar Vapor Lithium is the same all-new Matt Rini Vapor shape as the Pro Build, on an M-80 core with Sigmatex carbon — a course ski for 32–36 mph (52–58 kph) with a more composed, more forgiving response. Smoother rebound off the wake, more predictable acceleration out of the turn, and a ski that builds confidence pass after pass rather than punishing a mistimed load.

Key Technical Features

• Forward Drive Geometry: The new 2027 Vapor shape — forebody narrowed by 100 thousandths of an inch, tail widened by 50. The ski rolls in earlier, drives the tip down out of the finish and keeps its momentum into the next buoy.
• M-80 Core: An 80 kg/m³ core tuned for controlled response rather than raw reaction. Same flex memory as the M-100 — identical from set five to set five hundred — but it lets the ski settle instead of snapping back at you.
• Sigmatex Carbon: Computer-controlled weaving lays ultra-high-modulus carbon with real precision — a lighter, more consistent laminate with clean energy through the finish.
• True Feel Base: The bevel contour is finished in the mould, not sanded in afterwards, so the base meets the water exactly as designed — more grip, stronger direction through the finish.
• 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. Thanks, Herb.

Why You'll Love It

Intermediate to advanced. This is the Vapor for the skier running a course seriously who isn't chasing shortline records yet — same shape and speed range as the Pro, but the M-80 core takes the edge off, so a bad turn costs you a buoy instead of the pass. It's the workhorse of the Vapor line. If you already know what 32 off feels like and want the ski to answer the instant you load it, step up to the Pro Build. If you haven't run buoys yet, a Senate is the smarter money.

Quick Answers

Vapor Lithium or Vapor Pro Build?
Same 2027 shape, same 32–36 mph range. The Pro's M-100 core and Textreme carbon give the most immediate response; the Lithium's M-80 core and Sigmatex carbon give a smoother, more forgiving rebound. Shortline at 34–36, the Pro. Everyone else running a course, the Lithium.

Vapor Lithium or Vapor Graphite?
The Graphite's polyurethane Aero Core sits deeper in the water and is the calmest Vapor in rough conditions, with a 30–36 mph range. The Lithium is lighter and quicker to react. Glassy private lake, the Lithium; public water and afternoon chop, the Graphite.

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.
