Women skiers tend to carry their center of gravity lower and further back when compared to their male counterparts. With this difference in mind D3 adjusted the flat spot of the ski to allow female skiers to naturally stand directly over the skis fulcrum point.
The also have adjusted the rocker pattern to allow women to more easily apply energy to the tip for effortless turn initiation. Men have a significant portion of their mass centered in their upper body. This allows them to move weight to the tip quicker and with less movement. By adjusting the rocker to allow this to happen sooner and with less effort a lighter weight skier can turn just as efficiently.
One of the surprises in their testing was that the ski flex only had to be very slightly decreased for optimum performance. Their skis have always been on the softer side so not much flex adjustment was necessary. Slalom course performance for women. SKI LIKE A GIRL! |
