A 125-89-113 mm sidecut at 178 cm with a 16 m radius bends into a tight arc on demand, and more tip and tail taper and rocker than the narrower Pisteworks 79 lets the tail release into a slarve instead of holding until the skier is done with it. The DPS Pisteworks 89 is built without metal, using full carbon laminates over a poplar and red oak core with a carbon plate underfoot, which is how the ski holds an edge without the weight a titanal carver carries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-expert-line\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"ccbb-expert-badge\"\u003eExpert Review\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eSpecs and setup notes from the

The run is 158, 165, 171, 178, and 184 cm, and the 16 m radius holds a short enough arc that most skiers do not need to size down for quickness. Skiers who want the ski to feel even more eager can take the shorter length, and skiers who ski fast and open should take the longer one to keep the 16 m arc stable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DPS Pisteworks 89 carries a factory-marked recommended mount line, and we mount to that line unless a skier asks for something else. Brake width has to clear the 89 mm waist, so an 85 to 100 mm brake is the working range. Match the binding to your boot sole norm rather than to the ski, since a ski does not carry a sole norm and the binding is what has to accept the boot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA carving ski earns more from a good tune than any other ski in the catalog. The DPS Pisteworks 89 ships with a factory tune and Phantom Glide already cured into the base, so the ski is ready to ski out of the wrapper, and edge angles are the thing to revisit once a skier knows how they want it to grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ccbb-rating-key\"\u003eConfirm brake width and mount line with the shop before drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"ccbb-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"ccbb-spec-details\" open=\"\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ccbb-spec-summary-main\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ccbb-spec-icon\"\u003e📏\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ccbb-spec-heading\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"ccbb-spec-subheading\"\u003eManufacturer specs · Click to expand\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"ccbb-spec-toggle\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-spec-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-spec-columns\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-spec-group\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eShape and Sizing\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e125-89-113 mm (178 cm)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTurn Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e16 m at 178 cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLengths\u003c\/strong\u003e158, 165, 171, 178, 184 cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProfile\u003c\/strong\u003eCamber underfoot with tip rocker, and more tip and tail taper than the narrower Pisteworks 79\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003eNot published by DPS.

The DPS Pisteworks 89 uses full carbon laminates over a poplar and red oak core with a carbon plate underfoot, and the red oak supplies the damping that metal usually provides.

The DPS Pisteworks 89 takes alpine, GripWalk, and hybrid bindings, and no reinforcing plate is required.

The run is 158, 165, 171, 178, and 184 cm, and the 16 m radius is short enough that most skiers do not need to size down for quickness.

The Pisteworks line started with the 79 and the 94, and the DPS Pisteworks 89 fills the gap between them for this model year.

A 16 m radius at 178 cm bends into a short arc, camber underfoot and Rockwell 48 edges hold it, and a carbon plate between the bindings puts power into the edge, while the tapered tip and tail let the ski wash out when a skier asks. Building it without metal is the interesting decision, and the poplar and red oak core is what makes that work.
