Rider Profile- This series is intended for advanced on-piste skiers. Advantages- The Autodrive Fluid system optimises each phase of a turn (more force, more propulsion...) and above all else, it ensures a better connection, a true link between the different parts of the ski’‘s mechanization (tip / waist / tail) and between the different phases of a turn (entry/drive/exit). Autodrive Fluid Rider- Very good skiers

Totally new for 2007 and interesting looking skis that have been designed with the help of ex-champion Luc Alphand. The new plate, Autodrive Fluid, is designed so it literally free-floats on top of the ski so gives a very gentle flex to the ski that is both subtle and allows the ski to arc over a prolonged range. Matched with the very large sidecut you have a ski that is extremely carvey, very forgiving and somewhat better than the out-going Autodrive models. Instead of being driven to carve an 11m radius turn you can now cruise along with a more mile-devouring 15m radius in 172cm ski. Contact’‘s are great for advanced skiers but not experts, you’‘d get bored of them, they are cruisey, easy to use, incredibly easy to carve and like having a capable automatic car, useful but not the best for an adrenalin rush. Accomplished seasoned skiers may enjoy them but I think I am still a little young.
