Dynafit Blacklight 88 Ski
Like a teenage reptile coming into adulthood, the Dynafit Blacklight 88 has shed its skin and emerged as a fully mature adult, ready to responsibly take on the world. Not wanting to change what was universally appreciated, this latest iteration of the Blacklight 88 sports the same relatively generous rocker profile as its forbear, finding a compelling blend of maneuverability and edge hold. While the older iteration was wicked fun in forgiving conditions and on consistent snow surfaces, some found the flex overbearing in variable, 3-dimensional snow. Tweaking the layup, Dynafit addressed these concerns, resulting in a more forgiving feel in unforgiving snow. Utilizing a cleverly implemented triaxial fiberglass blend, Dynafit is offering different flex ratings for this same ski, allowing users of different weights and skill levels to choose what suits them best. Whether you count "speed touring" as a hobby or are searching for a versatile ski to complement your beefier quiver, the Blacklight 88 from Dynafit is a contender that will come out swinging.
- Two flex ratings are offered in all lengths, allowing you to select the flex that meets your needs.
- Generous rocker profile won't lock you down in terrifying conditions.
- Paulownia core is the industry standard for its excellent weight-to-longevity ratio.
- Triaxial fiberglass dampens variable snow for a smooth descending experience.
- Manufactured in Europe and offered with a "lifetime" warranty.
