Armada TRACER 118 CHX Skis 2020
The Tracer 118 CHX is our ultimate Big Mountain performer. Elf Shoe Technology in the nose and a slight tail rocker keep things surfy, but this ski is designed with big boy terrain in mind, integrating Adaptive Mesh to absorb and power through any snow condition. For 19/20 we paired an even lighter Poplar-Caruba wood core to a larger fiberglass package to further decrease weight and add durability. Titanal reinforcement underfoot and AR 75 Sidewall construction keep the ski damp and powerful for when you need it most.
TECHNOLOGY
- 1.7 Impact Edge
-
Entry rocker with positive camber under foot with no tail rocker. Floats in soft snow while making sure the ski stays on rails
- AR75 Sidewall
-
25% more ABS sidewall coverage increases stability and reduces chatter, providing more predictability and confidence
- Comp Series Base
-
Armada’s fastest base
- EST Freeride Rocker
-
Rockered tip and tail combined with positive camber underfoot, to provide flotation in soft snow and create remarkable edge on the harder stuff.
- Hybrid Caruba Core
-
This combination of lightweight woods and full-length hardwood stringers, the Hybrid Caruba core creates the ultimate in weight savings, agility and maneuverability without sacrificing security or dampness.
- Laminate Matrix
-
Directional layering of fiberglass dictates flex pattern and torsional rigidity
- Cobra Clip Skin Clip
A 3D topsheet with beveled construction strengthens the ski's perimeter for maximum efficiency and stability.
Rubber - Titanal - Rubber
A variable angle weave optimizes vibration damping along the length of the ski to make the ski more damp, stable and tough without adding weight. In the ends of the ski, the weave runs nearly tip-to-tail, filtering chatter and tip bounce. Underfoot, the weave runs nearly side-to-side, filtering vibration introduced through the edges either by ice, bumps and crud. Without additional weight Adaptive mesh provides a smoother ride.
