A 137-104-121 mm shape at 171 cm keeps the early-rise tip and wide flat tail on an 18.5 m radius, and a continuous TPU sidewall over a paulownia core damps the chatter that a cap ski hands back through the boot. At 1,488 g per ski in a 171 the Voile Charger Ace also carries a maple mounting patch, which is why one ski will hold a light pin binding or the most aggressive telemark binding on the rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-expert-line\"\u003e\n      \u003cspan class=\"ccbb-expert-badge\"\u003eExpert Review\u003c\/span\u003e\n      \u003cspan\u003eSpecifications verified against the manufacturer catalog for this model year.

Weight runs from 1,230 g per ski at 157 cm to 1,748 g per ski at 185 cm.

Match binding to your boot sole norm, size brakes to the waist at your length from 100 mm at 157 cm to 108 mm at 185 cm, and run skins at a 140 mm stock width for the 114 to 126 mm tail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"ccbb-rating-key\"\u003eLength and mount guidance built from the manufacturer size run.
