The V7 has the lightness, shape and exclusivity of the V3 and it carves just as well, however, its flex suits skiers who don\'t necessarily want to carve every turn. Sidewall ensures excellent hard snow grip but the tail makes it simpler to skid the turns if you are feeling tired or just want to take it easy. Ideal for intermediates who are upping their carving game, but don\'t need all out performance. exclusive to ellis Brigham in the UK.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Pistes of any colour. The 77 V7 will encourage great technique when the terrain and snow allows it and comfortably let you slide the tail when things get a bit trickier.Skier TypeIntermediate and advanced skiers who want a light and responsive ski that they can carve easily but when the terrain is trickier or they\'re tired will allow the tail to break away to smooth slides and not feel too locked in to the turn. It will open up the world of precise skiing and clean carves, allowing skiers to really enjoy the thrill of turning in a way that other skis can\'t.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.
