BBR 8.9 2012 - view large
Designed to float in powder and carve up the corduroy, the Salomon BBR 8.9 skis bring an innovative new shape to the slopes.
- The Salomon BBR 8.9 skis work well if you're sticking to the groomed runs, but they are ideal if you find yourself switching between groomed runs and off-piste terrain
- Full-wood core delivers direct transmission of power with precision and efficiency
- Elastomer inserts placed over the front of the skis absorb vibrations, resulting in a smooth ride that softens ski-to-snow contact
- Wide, surf-board inspired tips feature a very low profile rise that floats in powder and smooths out the ride in rough terrain
- Tips are also shaped to reduce weight and minimize chatter when carving at high speeds
- Relatively narrow waist offers a tight turning radius and enhances grip on firm snow
- Narrowest part of waist is behind heels, allowing a versatile weight distribution on skis
- Pintail releases out of turns easily and enhances control
- Slightly raised tails let you ride backward and stick the occasional switch landing
- Sandwich sidewall construction offers extremely smooth ski-to-snow contact and high adaptation to any terrain
- Strong polyethylene fiber threaded between the edges of the skis increases edge strength to withstand big impacts
