Armada ARV 84 R Skis + EM10 Bindings

With the Armada ARV 84 R Skis + EM10 Bindings Pack,Armada offers a complete solution designed for beginner to intermediate skiers who want to make rapid progress on a variety of terrains. Built around a versatile twin-tip profile, this set handles everything from groomed runs to first attempts in the park, with a fun and accessible ride. The EM10 binding comes pre-mounted and features a boot size adjustment system, making it easy to get started. The set promises a balance between responsiveness and durability, suited for freestyle-oriented all-mountain alpine skiing.

Performance and Handling: Versatility from the Park to the Slopes

The Armada ARV 84 R skis with EM10 bindings are designed for skiers who want to explore different terrains without changing gear. On groomed runs, the medium flex ensures an accessible ride without being too forgiving, which encourages technical progression. Off-piste, the twin-tip geometry allows for runs in the park or switch tricks without requiring expert-level skill. This ski is therefore designed for freestyle-oriented all-mountain use, with a high tolerance for positioning errors.

Dimensions and radius: an 84 mm waist for versatility

With a waist width of 84 mm and dimensions of 117-84-109 mm, the ARV 84 R occupies a middle ground between a pure piste ski and an all-mountain ski. This profile provides enough contact area to float slightly in groomed snow, while remaining narrow enough to maintain grip on groomed runs. The variable sidecut radius reaches 14.5 m at 164 cm, which allows for medium-sized, accessible, and progressive turns—well-suited for skiers who are still learning to ski.

AR Freestyle Rocker Profile: Float and Flex

The AR Freestyle Rocker profile combines rocker at the tip and tail with a central camber underfoot. This Rocker-Camber-Rocker design makes it easier to initiate turns thanks to the flexibility at the tips, while maintaining effective grip underfoot via the cambered zone. In fresh or groomed snow, the front rocker provides natural float without requiring extra effort from the skier. This profile directly contributes to the ski’s ease of handling, particularly for beginner and intermediate skiers.

Construction: Core and Reinforcements for Durability

The construction of the Armada ARV 84 R + EM10 ski is based on several complementary technical elements:

• Hybrid Poplar/Composite Core: combines the lightness of wood with the strength of composite for a responsive ski without added weight.
• 2.5 Impact Edge: Oversized, heat-treated edges designed to withstand repeated impacts on the slopes and in the park.
• S7 Base: a sintered base that enhances glide and retains wax better over time.
• AR50 Sidewall: a hybrid sidewall underfoot for efficient power transfer, with reinforced tip and tail sections to lighten the swing and facilitate rotations.

This pack offers a solid introduction to the world of all-mountain freestyle skiing for beginner to intermediate skiers looking for a complete, durable, and ready-to-use set of gear. Available in four lengths (157, 164, 171, and 178 cm), it accommodates a variety of body types, making it ideal for family use or individual skill development across diverse terrain.
