Dynafit Blacklight 88 Flex 90 Touring Ski

The Dynafit Blacklight 88 Flex 90 suits experienced touring skiers who want an efficient climbing setup with a firmer response for the descent. A Paulownia wood core and carbon construction keep weight low, while the Flex 90 layup provides more support than the softer Blacklight 88 Flex 70. With six lengths and size specific dimensions, this is a ski to choose around your technique, preferred terrain, and downhill input as well as your uphill ambitions.

Is This the Right Ski for You?

Best For
Experienced touring skiers who value low weight and prefer a firmer ski for deliberate turns, sustained climbs, and varied alpine terrain.
Consider Another Ski If
You prefer a softer flex, prioritize deep powder float, or want the weight and planted feel of a more substantial everyday touring ski.

Why We Like It

  • Low ski weight helps limit the mass you move with every uphill stride, making this a useful option for longer approaches and repeated climbs.
  • The firmer Flex 90 layup suits skiers who prefer more support as they pressure the ski and commit to a turn.
  • Tip and tail rocker support maneuverability when the line changes shape, complementing a narrow touring platform for mixed terrain.
  • Six lengths allow a more specific fit, with sidecut, radius, rocker length, and weight changing together rather than relying on the model name alone.

Best Uses

  • Long touring days with sustained climbing
  • Speed oriented backcountry travel
  • Ski mountaineering with an efficient setup
  • Experienced skiers seeking a firmer lightweight ski

Ski Selection Advice

Choose the length first, then check that length’s actual measurements. At 172 cm the ski is 88 mm underfoot, while the shorter and longer sizes range from 85 to 90 mm. Your height is a starting point; technique, preferred turn shape, and comfort managing a ski in tight terrain also matter.

Compare Flex 90 and Flex 70 around how you ski, rather than assuming the stiffer option is automatically the better fit. A skier who applies strong downhill input may appreciate the extra support. A skier who likes a softer response may prefer Flex 70, particularly when keeping setup weight low is the main priority.

Common Questions

What does Flex 90 identify?
It identifies the firmer Blacklight 88 version. Flex 70 is a separate ski with its own layup and weight; this product’s manufacturer model is 08-0000049721.
Is every length 88 mm underfoot?
No. Waist width increases from 85 mm at 151 cm to 90 mm at 184 cm. The 172 cm length is the one that measures exactly 88 mm underfoot.
How much does it weigh?
Dynafit lists 970 to 1,230 g per ski across the six lengths. The 172 cm size is 1,130 g per ski; compare weights at the length you actually intend to use.
Which length should I choose?
Discuss your height, experience, terrain, and preferred turn shape with the shop. Length affects more than reach: the radius, dimensions, rocker lengths, and weight all change through the size range.
Can I use it for powder touring?
It can be part of a varied touring setup, but frequent deep snow may justify a wider ski. Choose the platform around the conditions you expect most often, then balance that against your climbing priorities.
How should I complete the setup?
Have the shop match the touring binding to your boots and intended use, then confirm the correct skin fit for the ski length. Mounting and adjustment should be completed for your exact boot and binding combination.

Our Verdict

The Blacklight 88 Flex 90 brings a firmer option to a lightweight touring shape. It is a good direction for experienced skiers who want to climb efficiently and prefer support when they pressure a ski, provided the chosen length and flex match how they actually ski.
