Ski Products & Setup
You are best to ask your local dealer. They can help you find your most suitable length and can discuss this in detail with you. It can be difficult to find the right size as it depends on your skill level as better skiers normally prefer longer skis than intermediate/beginner skiers. It also depends on the model, as freeride skis should be longer than for example On-Piste slalom skis. As a general rule the correct ski length is somewhere between chin and top of the head.
All ski edges (incl. Junior Pro and new Master models from the 2021/22 season), except for the FIS Race and Adult Pro models, are manufactured and sharpened with the following standard angles: 1,4° base bevel, 87,6° sidewall. However, we do recommend applying wax before skiing for best performance. Please contact your local retailer for best wax recommendations based on your location. On top of this, bindings must always be mounted and adjusted by a certified technician. You can find the dealer that is closest to you through our dealerfinder, they will be able to assist you.
Close the heel and turn down the Z-number (DIN/ISO) of your binding to the minimum setting to relieve the spring. Attention: a specialist must adjust the binding before you ski again! It is also good for the binding to grease it slightly with a spray to help protect it from corrosion. Check with your local dealer for the best advise and for the necessary materials to keep your bindings working like new. You can find it through our dealerfinder.
