2012 Armada AR7 Skis:
The legendary AR6 was the perfect everyday ski for the all-mountain park skier, and for years we didn’t think it could be improved. Then we widened it a bit throughout and reconstructed it with the AR50 sidewall to lower its swing weight. The result was so impressive, it required a new name.
Dimensions:
120-87-110 @ 181cm
119-86-109 @ 176cm
118-85-108 @ 171cm
117-84-107 @ 166cm
116-83-106 @ 161cm
Technology:
CK Stringer: A blend of Carbon/Kevlar stringers that run along the tail of the skis to help stabilize it. This creates a better landing platform, especially when your weight is further back than intended. It also increases snap and adds pop to ollies.?


Hybrid Triple Core: These core inlays are configured in the same way as the DoubleZone, TripleZone and UltraLight cores, but with pre-installed ABS layers laid alongside the core, directly under foot. Unique to our AR50 constructions, these cores concentrate the weight of the ski below the boot sole, increas-ing durability and lowering swing weight


AR50 Sidewall:ABS sidewall meets cap construction – the best of both worlds. This engineering method combines the lightweight cap construction in the tip and tail with ABS sidewall underfoot, resulting in enhanced edgehold and significantly lower swing and overall weight.


2.5 Edge: This edge has an oversized height and width and the steel is heat-treated to a proprietary hardness which helps resist breaking and tearing out from rails, ledges and any other abuse it might meet.


Laminate Matrix:We know from the core out exactly how each ski should react, so three kinds of fiberglass laminates are used in combination to deliver the exact amount of flex and torsional rigidity. Bi-axial fiberglass runs in an “x” pattern down the ski to control lateral flex. Uni-directional fiberglass controls flex along the length of the ski. And tri-axial fiberglass, with fibers running in three directions, beefs up the center of the ski. The permutations of the three fiberglasses are nearly limitless and allow us to precision tune the performance of every ski we make.


S7 Base: Improved for 10/11, the new S7 features a gliding additive for increased speed and longevity. Our toughest base, find the S7 on any ski that’s looking for rails, ledges, and boxes as much as snow.


Positive Camber: Traditional camber engages the tip and tail of the ski, enhancing ease of entry and exit into and out of a turn, while maintaining solid edge hold.
