EXPERIENCE
Designed for intermediate to advanced level skiers, the new React R6 lets you taste the magic of carving without great effort on the slopes. The new Flex Tip technology speeds up turn entry and exit making it easier so you can find instant rhythm and link curves to perfection. The sidewall is reinforced in carbon that cover the length of the ski to give excellent edge grip and optimal bounce to find your rhythm.
Sidecuts
126/73/110 in 170 cm,
the sidecut corresponds to the width in mm of the nose, waist and tail.
The wider the tip, the easier the turn entry.
The narrower the waist ,the quicker the edge switching.
The wider the waist ,+the comfortable and stable ski in changing snow conditions
Radius=14 m
Depending on the curve radius, the shorter the turn (tight turn),
The larger the curve radius, the more the ski will turn in wide turns
STRUCTURE
Extremely versatile, forgiving and progressive structure gives skiers plenty of room to progress. The wooden core combined with the carbon reinforcement delivers intensity, grip and a feeling of safety.

What is the rocker?
When placing a ski on the ground, its points of contact are found near the tip and tail, whereas the middle of the ski (under the bindings) is slightly raised. This is the camber. The longer and higher the camber, the greater the edge grip and more responsive the ski. The lower the camber, the more forgiving the ski and the better the handling.
WHAT IS A ROCKER?
On a "rocker" ski, the tip, and sometimes the tail, comes off the ground sooner than with a cambered ski: this has the effect of moving the contact points toward the centre of the ski. The surface of the ski in contact with the snow is shortened and offers manoeuvrability and floatability in soft snow. When leaning into turns, the edge length offers more edge grip on hard snow. The longer the rocker, the better the handling of the ski.
OUR APRES-SKI ADVICE
“After a long day skiing, this is what you need to do to guarantee your ski's long life:
* Wipe your edges with a cloth at the end of the day to prevent rusting.
* Use ski ties to prevent the soles from rubbing against each other.
* Store your skis in a dry place and away from sunlight.”
