The AR75 sidewall delivers consistent power over the edge, and the Comp Series base provides reliable glide across snow types. Five available lengths give a wide range of skiers a well-matched option, with the shorter 157cm standing out as a particularly light and quick setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"css-1x52mge\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"chakra-heading css-yeqs1a\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul role=\"list\" class=\"css-1isgwd\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"css-e3648i\"\u003eCaruba core for a lightweight, lively feel across all five available lengths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"css-e3648i\"\u003eFreeride rocker profile for versatility between groomed and variable snow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"css-e3648i\"\u003e96mm waist width for edge precision and all-mountain adaptability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"css-e3648i\"\u003eTi binding dampener to smooth out rough and variable snow conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"css-e3648i\"\u003eCarbon reinforcement for torsional stiffness and confident edge engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"css-e3648i\"\u003eAR75 sidewall for consistent edge power across hardpack and soft snow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"css-e3648i\"\u003eComp Series base for durable, consistent glide in mixed conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"css-e3648i\"\u003eAR Bat tail with self-center tail clip for stability and reliable release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"css-1spvj5p\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"chakra-stack css-17lg7eo\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"css-1x52mge\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"css-37f4v5\"\u003eProfile Freeride Rocker (rocker \/ camber \/ rocker)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"css-37f4v5\"\u003eConstruction sandwich\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"css-37f4v5\"\u003eCore caruba\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"css-37f4v5\"\u003eLaminate carbon, titanal binding dampener\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"css-37f4v5\"\u003eEdge AR75\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"css-37f4v5\"\u003eBase Comp Series (sintered)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"css-37f4v5\"\u003eTail AR Bat (raised)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"css-37f4v5\"\u003eClaimed Weight[157cm] 4lb 15.36oz (2250g), [164cm] 5lb 11.71oz (2600g), [171cm] 5lb 13.47oz (2650g), [178cm] 5lb 15.23oz (2700g), [185cm] 6lb 8oz (2950g)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"css-37f4v5\"\u003eManufacturer Warranty limited 2 year\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"css-37f4v5\"\u003eActivity all-mountain skiing\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Armada","offers":[{"title":"178 cm \/ Slate","offer_id":45960505032757,"sku":"RA0000904178","price":849.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0245\/8071\/files\/SLA.jpg?v=1788289189","url":"https:\/\/www.firststopboardbarn.com\/zh\/products\/armada-locator-96-skis-2027","provider":"First Stop Board Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
