Kessler The Alpine Black

• Camber with Clothoide tail & tip rocker

• Clothoid Sidecut

An important component of the legendary KST is the sidecut which is based on a clothoid geometrical formula. This optimal geometry defines the radii on the board or ski with pin point accuracy. These can then be accessed by the rider by tilting the ski or board without force. The more the ski or board edges, the further the front contact point moves to the nose, and respectively, the back contact point to the tail. In this way, the rider can intentionally choose the radius that occurs at the point that is edging and actively determines the curve. The further forward the contact point lies, the tighter the turn possible. When carving, this provides riders with an essential advantage over traditional skis and snowboards where often the material defines the course.

CORE

• Optimized K.Tec BP Woodcore

Woodcore specifically created by Kessler. Durable and strong combination made of poplar, beech and fir wood.

REINFORCEMENTS

• Sandwich Titanal Construction

Multiple Titanium layers to ensure that the board rides smoothly and has torsional stiffness. It provides stability at speed, strength and damping.

BASE

• Sintered Base

Fully sintered black race base, higher molecular weight with small amount of PTFE (Teflon) mixed into the base. This makes it harder, faster and stronger.

SIDEWALL

• ABS Sidewalls

Provides enhanced durability while keeping the core safe from moisture.
