Our WILDER saga:
Our Wilder saga includes 3 skis with different widths: 85 / 95 / 102 in order to offer a skate width for every type of ski tourer.
The Wilder 85, which remains the most versatile width for practising on all types of terrain, is the ideal ski for beginning ski touring off the beaten track.
The Wilder 95, with its straighter lines for maximum grip on slopes and steep inclines.
The Wilder 102, for free-riders in search of combes.
Ski features
Weight ski 175cm: 1350g ski only / pack 1675g
Weight ski 185cm: 1440g ski only / pack 1765g
Dimensions:
185cm => 133/102/118 cm Radius => 22m
Profile: Rocker/Cambre/Rocker
Fasteners
Ski touring bindings with Tyrolia Almonte 12 insert.
Weight: 325g (with ski stop)
60mm adjustment range.
DIN adjustment on rear stop: from 5 to 12.
If you wish, you can remove the ski stop. To do this, remove the binding's rear wedge, take out the ski stop and position a plastic piece in its place, which will give you a good grip on the binding. (Choose from 3 thicknesses, the one that best matches the thickness of your boot).
Mounting Up/Down
Uphill:
To lock the ski stop, turn the rear stop to the right by a quarter-turn, then press the plastic part of the stop with your boot.
Uphill wedges can be easily manipulated, without taking off your shoes and with the pole, in 3 positions, one flat and 2 uphill positions. The steeper the slope, the higher the level of the wedges.
When descending: return to the initial position of the rear stop by making a quarter-turn in the opposite direction.
Fastener adjustment :
Tyrolia Almonte bindings are compatible with ski boots with inserts.
ski length = 175 cm / Binding adjustment for boots from 262 to 320 mm
ski length = 185 cm / Binding adjustment for boots from 282 to 340 mm
Adjustment requires a Phillips screwdriver. We recommend in-store adjustment to ensure the correct distance between the back of your boot and the binding.
Skins
The skins are pre-cut to the sidecut of the skis. They are made from 70% Mohair and 30% synthetic, the best compromise between glide (on the way up to limit effort) and grip (on the way up to limit the recoil effect). The skins are fitted with a metal stirrup at the front to attach to the skis, and a camlock at the rear to attach the skin to the ski heel. It's important to air-dry your skins thoroughly.
Construction
Paulownia carbon construction: The WILDER 102 is made from high-quality materials, combining lightweight paulownia wood with the strength of carbon. The result is a ski that's both solid and extremely light, ideal for freeriders who prefer efficiency on fast mountain climbs, without compromising on lift.
Solidity
Semicap construction to avoid chipping when skis are crossed.
Predominantly black soles for excellent glide and easy repairs.
Preparation
Skis waxed and sharpened, ready to use. Edges sharpened to 89
What is a camber?
When a ski is placed on the ground, the contact points of the ski on the snow are located near the tip and tail, while the center of the ski (under the bindings) rises slightly (this is the camber). The longer and higher the camber, the more grippy and responsive the ski. The lower the camber, the more forgiving and maneuverable the ski.
What is a rocker?
On a rocker ski, the tip - and sometimes the tail - lifts off the ground much earlier than on a cambered ski. This shifts the contact points towards the center of the ski. This shortens the ski's surface area in contact with the snow, giving you more maneuverability and lift in soft snow. The angle of the rocker gives you more edge length for greater grip on hard snow. The longer the rocker, the more maneuverable your ski.
What does a ski's sidecut correspond to?
The sidecut is characterized by 3 dimensions: width at the tip (front of the ski), width at the runner (middle of the ski) and width at the tail (back of the ski). The wider the tip, the more easily the ski enters the turn. The narrower the runner, the grippier the ski on hard snow. The wider the runner, the more comfortable and stable the ski is in changing snow conditions.
How to choose the right ski size?
The shorter the skis, the more maneuverable they are.
That's why less adventurous skiers should choose shorter skis.
In general, for ski touring, we recommend choosing skis:
from -5 cm to -10 cm below your waist. The heavier or more powerful you are, the longer you can make your skis.
For free rando use, you can go up to 5 cm above your waist.
