NEO 2
Same Name - Radical Change
 
NEO 2 approaches the slalom course challenge from the other end of the spectrum.

Our design starting point was to analyse and match the skier's position and stance at every point throughout the course.

The back half of the ski has a progressively larger and rounder bevel that provides depth and stability as the ski drifts into angle.

When you move forward over the ski tip, into and through the turn, and expect that cross-course acceleration, the ski increases support, lift and angle. As additional pressure is applied to the tip, the more the ski reciprocates, by providing support from the smaller, tighter radius bevels and decreased tunnel volume.

One of the most significant changes compared with prior D3 slalom skis is the change in bevel angle. This bevel angle change allows you to stay upright and level, from the wake into the outbound swing into the buoy.

Tunnel concave has been optimised to promote width in the course without an unwanted excess of speed in the turns.

While the name is the same, everything has changed. The ski comes in two significantly different flex options - standard and stiff. Most skiers will prefer the standard flex.

Give the NEO 2 a test ride. It is ready for you in four different sizes - 65", 66", 67" and 68".

The NEO 2 features:

• Ski Profile - Wider front / narrower tail.
• Tunnel Concave - Optimised to promote width in the course without unwanted excess of speed in the turns.
• Rocker Profile - Higher rocker - Designed to promote the ideal turn at each buoy.
• Tail Shape - Narrower tail means less resistance which allows the tail to rotate the ski into immediate angle.
• Bevel Angle - Totally new design allows you to stay upright and level over the ski.
• Bevel Shape - The back half of the ski has a progressively larger and rounder bevel that provides depth and stability.
• Machine Screw Inserts - Accommodates D3, Reflex and most current binding hole patterns. All inserts are set in hard PVC anchor blocks for trouble free screw retention.
• Accuset Fin Block - Accurate, three-point set screws for easy fin adjustments and laser aligned fin position.
• Sizes - 65", 66", 67" and 68"
