Navis Freebird
102 mm dedicated to the spirit of adventure. A
balance between lift and ski-ability, alpine conduct and progressive front
rocker, the Navis Freebird is built for far-flung or daily quests.
The modernisation of our iconic model dedicated
to touring with improvements made to the hold and the safety. To perfect a ski
which already performs very well, the effort was concentrated on the extension
of the side lines to gain stability and hold at high speed, but also we added a
titanal plate under foot in order to double the wrenching force and also
reinforce the solidity of the mounting of the binding inserts. Also new for the
Navis Freebird, the addition of a new length of 173 cm which is placed midway
between its two adjacent sizes, giving birth to four lengths: 167, 173, 179 and
185 cm.
The nitty gritty:
Weight: 3100g/pair @167cm – 3250g/pair @173cm –
3400g/pair @179cm – 3600g/pair @ 185cm.
Nice width: 102 mm waist.
Progressive front rocker + flared tip:
stability on the edge.
Long classic camber: classic camber underfoot
with extensive ski/snow contact for alpine-style turns.
Progressive tail: less tail washout and easier
pivot initiation.
Titanal reinforcement plate,under the bindings
for a better screw retention.
The Navis Freebird is for you if:
you consider skiing an alpine circus.
“They provide a brilliant balance
between weight and performance which means I am confident on anything from the
steepest lines to touring for fast powder or spring corn. The 102 mm waist is wide
enough in the powder while still feeling stable on firmer snow. I am
particularly impressed that this same pair of skis has given me around 200 days
of fun.” Ross Hewitt
