Product Summary
The ski in details
Looking for a ski that will carve smooth arcs on the hill and then float through pow on the other side of the rope? You’re welcome. The Impulse 104 is an all-mountain charger, featuring a 104-mm waist that provides nimble turnability when needed, and playful, floaty performance in deep powder. The ski’s flat, solid-core construction and full ABS sidewalls add torsional stiffness and provides premium power transmission, dampness and stability to hold fast while charging on harder snow. Austrian-made with pre-preg fiberglass and an engineered poplar core, The Impulse 104 is a freerider’s one-ski quiver built to rip. Also available in our store!
- Versatile 104-mm waist handles a variety of conditions
- Rockered tip and tail and traditional camber underfoot
- Made in Austria with a pre-preg fiberglass layup and poplar core
- Flat-top construction and full ABS sidewalls for increased power and torsional stiffness
- Optimal Use: 60% soft snow, 40% hard snow
Technologies
Prepreg Fiberglass (BPRO)
Mounting Plate High-strength E-Glass fiber is oriented along multiple axes and optimized to provide a smooth and consistent flex profile, longitudinal strength, and torsional stiffness. strikes a balance between toughness, durability, damping, and weight.
Titanal Mountain Plate
A high-strength metal plate is embedded underneath the composite layer to ensure Glide and Durability that binding screw retention is never a concern. This plate also serves to increase torsional stiffness and provides a solid foundation underfoot.
Engineered Poplar Wood Core
Poplar is nearly ideal as a ski core material when downhill performance toughness, and torsional stiffness is the top priority.
Internal Core Damping
Elastomeric materials are strategically located within the ski to improve damping. These layers serve both to absorb high-frequency vibration and also to allow some shear between internal layers, improving both performance and durability."
PTEX 4500 Base
Industry-accepted as the premium base material, this sintered UHMW-PE base Internal Core provides very high density for excellent durability and wax retention, combined with high carbon content for superior glide.
Full Perimenter ABS Sidewalls
ABS sidewalls wrap the entire perimeter of the ski, offering optimal durability and Internal Core damping. Used on skis designed for maximum downhill performance and durability, but optimized for minimal weight.
