The MAX is a slalom ski engineered for maximum acceleration and unmatched stability
The MAX is wider, creating acceleration through the wakes with less load on the body
The MAX casts outward towards the buoy achieving a higher swing on the boat with less drag
The MAX is designed for skiers of all speeds 49, 52, 55 and 58 kph
Consider MAX if you are between sizes in a weight range for a traditional shaped ski

MAX — Effortless Speed & Unmatched Stability
The D3 MAX is a high-performance slalom ski built on a traditional shape, with a slightly wider fore body and tail. The MAX delivers meaningful gains in stability, support, and speed, while preserving the crisp handling and responsiveness demanded by competitive skiers.

The result is a ski that is connected, efficient, and powerful — helping you generate more speed and direction with less physical strain.

Effortless Speed Through the Course - The additional surface area allows the ski to create lift and glide more easily, accelerating cleanly through the wakes while maintaining strong outbound direction. Instead of relying on heavy load to build speed, MAX converts efficient movement into momentum, keeping you moving wide and early with less effort.

This translates into smoother transitions, cleaner lines, and more consistent timing buoy to buoy.

Stability That Works for You - A slightly wider platform provides a comfortable supportive feel underfoot, allowing you to stay centerd and balanced throughout the pass. The ski resists overreaction to small mistakes and maintains composure when conditions or timing aren’t perfect.

Ideal for Skiers who prefer:

  • Increased glide pulling out for the gates
  • Higher swing up on the boat
  • Strong support crossing the wakes
  • Reduced fatigue over multiple passes
  • More consistent rhythm and body position

 

Optimized for Real-World Tournament Speeds - MAX excels across the full spectrum of speeds, with notable advantage for skiers, at speed below max, particularly at 55kph /34mph and lower where efficiency and consistency are critical – where we are still looking for that feel when a ski casts outward towards the buoy achieving higher swing on the boat.

It is especially well suited for:

  • Skiers at 34 mph / 55 kph and below
  • Skiers seeking easier acceleration
  • Athletes prioritizing consistency and support
  • Skiers between sizes
  • Skiers who ride center to back on their ski

 

Smooth, Predictable Turns - The rocker profile and tail design allow the ski to initiate turns easily and rotate quickly without feeling abrupt. The slightly wider tail provides support through the finish while enabling immediate angle generation into the next cross-course move.

Both onside and offside turns feel balanced, clean, and repeatable — key factors for building confidence at demanding line lengths.

Designed for Efficiency and Endurance - Every aspect of MAX is engineered to help you achieve more with less energy:

 Accelerates without excessive load

 Maintains speed naturally across course

 Provides strong outbound direction

 Supports upright, balanced skiing

 Reduces physical strain while preserving performance

 

MAX delivers elite slalom performance with enhanced stability and efficiency — allowing you to ski stronger, smoother, and more confidently across a wide range of speeds and conditions.


Technical Highlights
:

 

  • Ski Profile – Traditional Profile with Added Width. Wider width profile compared to the ION and NEO. Enhances lift, stability, and support while maintaining precise handling.
  • Tunnel Concave - Promotes efficient glide and strong cross-course speed..
  • Higher Rocker Profile - Encourages fast, easy turn initiation and symmetrical performance.
  • Supportive Tail Geometry  The slightly wider tail provides more support and allows the ski to rotate into immediate angle.
  • Bevel Angle - Allows you to stay upright and level over the ski.
  • Bevel Shape - The larger and rounder bevels provide balance and tracking through the turn.
  • Machine Screw Inserts - Compatible with D3, Reflex, and most modern binding patterns for secure mounting.
  • Accuset Fin Block - Precision three-point adjustment system with laser-aligned positioning.
  • Sizes  65’” 66", 67" 68” and 69"
