Adjustable Bindings Included: This Defiance Ski product comes with an adjustable Tyrolia Railflex Lite 9 Binding included in the price. A din range of 2-9 is appropriate for most all recreational skiers. However, this binding will only accommodate a sole length up to 325mm. This is about a men's size 10. If you have a boot bigger than that you MUST choose the SRL100 binding option. As far as appearance, both Defiance ski models are a perfect match for the default binding included and we do not recommend the more expensive SRL100 unless it is required because of your boot size. Defiance Skis:  Defiance Skis is an American ski company founded solely to provide high quality, durable equipment at realistic prices. Its 2011 galdarnit! And this is the internet! Shoppers shouldn't have to resort to a decision between renting or buying used gear, and really shouldn't have to spend $800 equipping a beginning skier! Stay beholden to the big box ski 'sales' if you must, or Defy the Ordinary, the decision is yours and yours alone. Skier Ability: Lower Intermediate to Upper Intermediate: Skiing all sorts of blue runs, starting to get off trail and into advanced (black diamond) territory, but at controlled speeds.
 Wood Core: The standard core which has throughout time provided the best performance and durability. Each model may have it's own density level to help define flex and maximum speed but every wood core ski will be solid.
 Cap Construction: The topsheet of this ski drapes over the edge to form a clean and rounded finish to the side of the ski. This style of construction adds some torsional rigidity, and helps reduce topsheet chipping when the skis hit each other.
Early Rise: Somewhere between rocker and traditional sits the Early Rise. This helps the tip of the ski get up in softer snow, and still maintains good edge grip and firm snow performance. Glossy Topsheet: The finish of this ski is glossy to help keep snow from sticking to it and to look pretty fancy. |
