Armada ARV 88 ski pack + bindings

Designed for riders who love action and versatility, the ARV 88 offers a rare combination of responsiveness and lightness. Its poplar core provides excellent pop for jumps and tricks, while its carefully designed construction ensures secure grip on hard snow.

Technical specifications

• Profile: AR Freestyle Rocker (slight rocker at the tip and tail for greater tolerance).
• Core: Dynamic poplar with ash reinforcements under the bindings.
• Sides: W3DGEWALL for strength and energy transfer.
• Edges: 2.5 Impact for improved impact resistance.
• Base: S7, fast and easy to maintain.

What makes them unique

The construction optimizes mass at the ends to reduce weight and increase responsiveness: edge-to-edge transitions become instantaneous and energy return at the exit of turns is remarkable. The result: a ski designed for competition and the park, while remaining high-performing on hard slopes.

Advantages for the skier

• Perfect for contests and tricks thanks to boosted pop.
• Playful and precise handling—ideal for those who want to attack hard.
• Black Edition design that reflects the bold character of the ARV range.
• Versatility: performs very well in variable conditions thanks to the light rocker.

Tips for choosing binding positions:

FACTORY

The Factory mounting corresponds to the mark indicated on all Armada skis. It defines the recommended position of the center of your boot for the best all-mountain skiing performance. This positioning offers excellent floatation in deep snow, enhanced stability at high speeds, and very good precision in turns. On the other hand, it makes the ski a little less maneuverable and provides a slightly less balanced feel, especially in the air or when skiing switch.

Who is it for? This setup is for skiers with a traditional stance who ski mainly forward with strong pressure on the shin. It is particularly suitable for piste skiers, speed enthusiasts, and those looking for a directional ski that offers control and power.

FREESTYLE

The Freestyle mark is located further forward on the ski. It is designed for a more playful, freestyle-inspired style. This mounting offers increased maneuverability, a more balanced and natural feel in the air, and greater comfort when skiing switch. However, it slightly reduces lift in powder snow, stability at very high speeds, and carving performance.

Who is it for? It is ideal for skiers who prefer a more creative and freestyle approach, with a centered stance and less pressure on the front of the boot. It is perfect for park skiers and those looking for a fun and versatile ski for all-mountain skiing.
