Dynastar Expands Women’s-specific Exclusive Line

Written by Dan Morgan, Saturday, 20 March 2004

Dynastar have expanded and evolved their range of women’s-specific skis.  The new Exclusive range shows a greater understanding of female characteristics and has provided a range of skis to exploit and enhance the experience.  This new range even includes a version of the New Legend freeride series!

Due to the fact women tend to carry their weight more in the lower body than their male counterparts, women find it harder to stay on top of the ski and keep their weight forward, therefore making turn initiation difficult.  Dynastar have introduced a number of key features addressing these issues.

“Increased ramp angle – Exclusive skis feature a 1.5 degree ramp angle under the binding area to tip the skier’s weight forward and make it easier for women to stay balanced for and aft.”

“Forward center point – The center point of the ski is moved forward to help women initiate turns and stay on top of the ski.”

“Sidecut moved back – The ski’s waist is moved slightly towards the tail bringing the sidecut and “sweet spot” back and allowing easier carving from a women’s more natural set back position”

“Lightweight – Exclusive skis are the lightest weight skis on the market, which makes them easier to ski and helps prevent fatigue.”
