For downhill skiing : On-piste skis need to be agile, responsive and able to make turns. It is advisable to choose skis that are 10 cm smaller than the recommended size.
For freestyle skiing : Freestyle skis are designed in Twin Tip mode, which means they have a reduced contact area with the snow. To ensure stability and agility, it is advisable to choose a ski of your size.
For touring skiing : It's best to choose a ski of your size.
For freeride skiing : Freeride skis need to offer stability at high speeds and float in powder. It is recommended that you select A ski of your size, up to 10 cm more.

Why choose a longer ski?

Your level of skiing experience is advanced/expert
You like to ski fast and appreciate stability at high speeds
You like to ski aggressively
You're looking for better flotation
You are heavier than average for your height
You think your current skis are too short

Poplar core: Poplar cores are sourced from sustainable forests, less than 100 km from the factory. The environmentally-friendly harvesting involves selective cutting to enhance forest regeneration, resulting in lightweight and durable skis.

Titanal plate: The titanal plate is designed to withstand challenging conditions, providing added stiffness under the boot for improved grip and stability on firm snow, exceeding safety standards.

Carbon fibre: Perfect for high-end and touring skis, carbon fibre provides an excellent lightweight-to-stiffness ratio, ensuring lightweight ascent and solid descent performance.

Fibreglass: While fibreglass may not be as rigid as carbon fibre, it possesses greater strength. The strength lies in the fibre's ability to resist breaking under the weight of a load. That's why this fibre is the preferred choice when it comes to imparting strength and durability to skis.

Biosourced epoxy: Entropy Resins' Super Sap biosourced epoxy utilizes renewable materials, offering performance equivalent to traditional resins with reduced environmental impact.

Biosourced topsheet: The 50% biosourced topsheet, made from renewable materials and 20% recycled materials, is manufactured with castor oil, ensuring exceptional durability and waterproofing.

Striking a delicate balance between weight and stiffness, the Explo 86 achieves a more balanced torsional stiffness compared to the Explo 96. This balance ensures outstanding grip on snow while maintaining an intuitive riding experience. Featuring shorter rockers and a longer sidecut than its wider counterpart, the Explo 86 stands out as the most aggressive ski in the entire Ferreol range.

Torsional stiffness (Nm²) : How difficult it is to twist a ski

Bending stiffness (Nm²) : How difficult is it to flex a ski

Carbon footprint composition: An overview

The Explo 86 has an average carbon footprint of 23.11 kgCO2eqwhich corresponds roughly to the carbon emissions produced by a small car over 122 km.

Carbon footprint composition: Materials

To improve performance on hard snow without compromising weight, the Explo incorporates two layers of carbon. While this choice contributes to its carbon footprint, it is partially offset by the use of a locally sourced poplar core from the Bas-St-Laurent region of Quebec, as well as biobased topsheet and epoxy.

EXPLO 86- Ski parfait pour conditions au Québec

Loué le EXPLO 86-168cm chez SkiTown et testé le ski toute la journée à Mont-Sutton, dans toutes les conditions; damé, fond dur, sous-bois enneigé, poudreuse bord de piste, bosses enneigées. Ski remarquable pour sa versatilité, docile en initiation de virage sans effort, ET très solide pour tenir la ligne en virage court et moyen rayon. J'en ai fait l'achat ce sera mon ski "de tous les jours", je ski 50 jours par année. Très fier d'encourager un excellent produit fait au Québec. Bravo Ferreol.

Perfection

Depuis 2 ans, j'essaie différents skis et aucun ne surpassait mes skis Wölkl tout terrain. J'ai essayé vos skis Explo 86 et "WOW", j'ai enfin trouvé le ski que je recherchais. Ski très performant et facile à skier dans différentes conditions. Bravo à toute l'équipe Ferréol.

"Surprenant" agilité et contrôle.

J'ai eu accès à un ski en essai chez Ski Michel.
Surprenant, ce ski a répondu à toutes mes attentes.
Souple et très réactif, il répond avec stabilité et précision dans toutes les situations.
J'ai particulièrement apprécié les virages serrés et répétés à haute vitesse.
J'ai eu beau chercher les points faibles dans mon évaluation et rien à dire.
À l'évidence, j'ai acquis une paire d'Explo 86.
Bravo à toute l'équipe !

Virages parfaits !

Début de saison, surface durcie, les skis accrochent fermement la neige et n’attendent que les prochains virages. Très satisfaite des premières descentes. Explo 86=pour skieurs avancés-experts et parfaits pour l’Est.

Fantastique

Je l'adore îl est vraiment bon joueur mon156 cm , surface dure mole ou bien neigeuse , pas encore essayé sous bois ....
