The XO 77 V3 is a lightweight piste performance ski with a special touch of class and exclusivity. The V3 shares the same shape and construction as the V7 with a narrow waist and short sidecut radius for slalom style handling. However, the V3 has had a tweak in its core for the perfect amount of precision and edge hold for top end speed on firm snow. It\'s a must for anyone looking to achieve carving perfection. exclusive to ellis Brigham in the UK.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Pistes of any colour. The smoother the better to really enjoy the precision and smoothness, but it has the shape to handle choppier conditions or some fresh snow on top.Skier TypeAdvanced and expert skiers wanting a smooth ride that responds precisely and holds an edge cleanly all the way through the turn. On the rack it may not feel like the race skis with their stiffness and power needed to drive them, but get it on the snow and you instantly understand how the lightness improves the response and precison.OverviewShape77mm in the waist is good for response and fast edge changes on piste as well as providing a good platform when the snow is rougher. Thanks to the light weight it\'s so fast swapping edges that it feels narrower without losing the stability of the 77mm. The 14m (166cm) radius produces fast turns in a comfortable variety of shapes.RockerLots of camber for the best response, with a small amount of tip rocker to improve turn initiation and handling on rougher snow.CoreWood core, from the best species, precision milled to a hundredth of a millimetre. This is reinforced with two complete layers of glass fibre, reinforced at strategic locations. This stripped down, clean engineering allows XO Skis to finely tune the longitudinal and torsional flex exactly how they want it.ConstructionSidewalls are used for the best energy transfer and precision. A small cap is used on top to protect them from damage and to maintain the prestige look.Key FeaturesFinishXO Skis use the best bases and edges and ensure they leave the factory with the very best preparation and finsh.eB tester’s comments: Steve (Buying Team) An extraordinary ski! exceptionally light, impressively smooth and surprisingly precise, it grips like a race ski and flows through the turns.Technical SpecificationsSize (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)15412677107121340160126771071314001661267710714143017212677107151590General InformationSkier Ability: Advanced/expertTerrain Type: PisteRocker: Tip RockerRadius: ShortBase: SinteredBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Full SidewallCore: WoodDemo: YesSizing Description: Chin to nose height is ideal for quick responses and easy handling.
