Black Diamond Impulse 98 Ti Ski

The Impulse Ti 98 features a moderate 98mm waist for all-mountain versatility. It’s equally adept at blowing through chop at high speed or confidently tackling steep, chalky, technical lines. Austrian-made with pre-preg fiberglass and an engineered poplar core, we’ve boosted the performance of the new Impulse by adding a sheet of Titanal which improves edge-hold, dampness, and stability at high speeds.

Features

• A versatile, all-mountain ski that can hold its own at high speeds
• Versatile 98mm waist attacks technical terrain and firmer conditions
• Rockered tip and tail with traditional camber underfoot
• Made in Austria with a pre-preg fiberglass layup and poplar core
• Flat-top construction and full ABS sidewalls for increased power and torsional stiffness

Details 

• Optimal Use
• 60% soft snow, 40% hard snow
• TECHNOLOGY
• Titanal Top Sheet
• A high-strength metal plate is embedded underneath the composite layer to ensure Glide and Durability that binding screw retention is never a concern. This plate also serves to increase torsional stiffness and provides a solid foundation underfoot.         
• Prepreg Fiberglass (BPRO)
• HIGH PERFORMANCE
• Mounting Plate High-strength E-Glass fiber is oriented along multiple axes and optimized to provide a smooth and consistent flex profile, longitudinal strength, and torsional stiffness, striking a balance between toughness, durability, damping, and weight.         
• Internal Core Damping
• Elastomeric materials are strategically located within the ski to improve damping. These layers serve both to absorb high-frequency vibration and also to allow some shear between internal layers, improving both performance and durability.
• Engineered Poplar Wood Core
• Poplar is nearly ideal as a ski core material when downhill performance toughness, and torsional stiffness is the top priority.
• Full Perimeter ABS Sidewalls
• ABS sidewalls wrap the entire perimeter of the ski, offering optimal durability and Internal Core damping. Used on skis designed for maximum downhill performance and durability, but optimized for minimal weight.
