KARHU 10th MTN SKIS DISCONTINUED/UNAVAILABLE
The Karhu 10th Mountain skis are now the Madshus Epoch skis
PLEASE NOTE: K2 Sports, owner of both Madshus Skis & Karhu Skis, has discontinued the Karhu XCD product line and is now producing them as Madshus backcountry skis. The former Karhu XCD 10th Mountain skis are now the Madshus Epoch skis. Only the branding and artwork are new, otherwise they are exactly the same.
The 2010 Karhu XCD 10th Mountain Backcountry Skis are waxless, full-metal edge backcountry touring skis with a generously wide platform, though not as wide as the Karhu XCD Guide, great for flotation on deep snow. However, it features slightly more camber than the Karhu XCD Guide also, allowing the Karhu 10th Mountain to aggressively perform on more varied terrain and snow conditions. Serious backcountry skiers will appreciate its light weight, quickness and maneuverability in tight surroundings and/or less than ideal snow conditions. With 99-68-84 dimensions, the generous sidecut carves remarkable turns. The Karhu XCD 10th Mountain has full metal edges and Omnitrak No Wax waxless base for excellent grip and control. Combine with 75mm 3-pin bindings and stiff all-mountain backcountry ski boots for outstanding all-mountain performance and sweet telemark turns on the way down. Virtually maintenance free, we recommend simply applying a quick coat of liquid glide wax before each outing, such as Swix Easy Glide (see accessories below), to improve ski glide and prevent snow from sticking to ski bases.
sidecut (width of skis): 99mm tip - 68mm waist - 84mm tail
The Karhu 10th Mountain backcountry / telemark skis are compatible with any NNN, SNS, 75mm-3pin/telemark or AT binding systems etc.
Recommended Use:
Wide platform, waxless skis with full-metal edges for serious backcounty skiers breaking trail and encountering various snow conditions and terrain in search of breathtaking descents. Light weight, quick and maneuverable in tight surroundings and/or less than ideal snow conditions. Wide platform for float with progressive sidecut / taper design for true telemark turns in deep snow to wind/hard pack conditions.
Karhu XCD 10th Mountain Ski Technology / Highlights:- PROGRESSIVE XCD SIDECUT: most aggressive sidecut at the tip and tail for a quick and agile ski; long radius underfoot for powerful edge hold
- CARBON POWERBAND: increased longitudinal stiffness
- GREENLIGHT CORE: a new wood core that improves performance, cuts weight and helps reduce our footprint.
- OMNITRAK NO WAX SKI BASE: independently proven to offer the best combination of grip and glide
- SINGLE CAMBER PLUS: soft but more camber than the Karhu XCD Guide, for more versatility in varying snow conditions to retain responsive downhill performance and touring efficiency
- FULL LENGTH METAL EDGE: increased control in varied snow conditions
