Manufacturer's comment:
Giant slalom ski with Cascade shovel. Titanal upper and lower belt, power turn technology and 100% high tension. A swing machine that meets all carving requirements: accuracy when making large swings in full speed, perfect snow contact and optimal weight distribution while carving.  

Tester's comment:
The Radical 9 GS is a proven race ski. Our testers have given top ratings for the long turns and loved the great edge grip and the quietness of the ski while skiing. Refined skills in the snow at higher speed, draw or handle a dirt road – With this ski it really makes fun to sign cool swings in the snow or to ski at full speed! More Open Space
