LOCATOR 112
Somewhere out there, just over the next ridge, is the line you've been waiting your whole life to ski. Maybe it's a perfect pillow field, or a straight line chute with serious implications. Whatever it is, there's certainly not a chairlift that goes to the top of it, and it's certainly not the type of thing you want to be skiing on dinky little skimo planks. To help you find the nirvana you've been seeking, Armada has developed a new line of touring skis. The Armada Locator 112 Skis are the big guns of the new Locator series. They're wide and beefy for float and power charging the fall line and surfing through soft snow, but they also are remarkably light to make the skin track a breeze.
Product Details
Rocker Type
EST Freeride Rocker – Forebody rocker and extra tip taper combine to create EST for optimized float in the soft stuff. Positive camber under foot with no tail rocker ensures these skis stay on rails when carving is the priority.
Core
Caruba Core – Armada's lightest wood species creates the best uphill feel while retaining the power and dampness required for descending in the gnarliest of terrain. This core makes no concessions in its quest to be ultralight.
Laminates
TI Binding Dampener – Below the binding, a sandwich of rubber, titanal, and finally more rubber works to dampen vibration that otherwise chatters into your bots and shortens your day. Ski bell to bell with extra damping provided.
Carbon Reinforcement – Specially placed carbon stringers add pop and stiffness without adding weight.
Base
Comp Series Base – Sintered UHMW polyethylene with added carbon aids in speed and durability on snow.
Edges
1.7 Lightweight Edge – Light and strong, these heat-treated edges effect the feel of the ski minimally to ensure a snappy, lightweight feel.
Additional Features
AR Bat Tail Self Center Tail Clip Design
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
