Armada ANTIMATTER 92 Ski Set + Bindings

Armada positions the ANTIMATTER 92 as a performance-oriented all-mountain alpine ski, designed for advanced to expert skiers seeking a ski that’s both precise and playful across the entire ski area. With a waist width of 92 mm, it occupies a strategic position between a pure piste ski and a freeride ski, allowing it to adapt to a variety of snow conditions without ever sacrificing grip on groomed runs. Its construction combines a poplar core with a Titanal laminate to deliver stability and energy transfer—two qualities that demanding skiers expect from a ski of this caliber. The Armada ANTIMATTER 92 is designed for those who want a single ski capable of handling the diversity of a day on the mountain, from late-morning moguls to the well-carved runs of the afternoon.

Performance and Handling: An all-mountain ski designed for technical versatility

The ANTIMATTER 92 is designed to cover a wide range of terrain without being overly specialized. On groomed runs, it exhibits a pronounced carving character, with crisp energy return that suits skiers looking to carve aggressive turns. Off-piste, the 92 mm waist width provides enough float to tackle packed snow or a few centimeters of powder without losing control. The flex profile—measured at 7 at the tip, 7 in the middle, and 8 at the tail—indicates a ski that’s slightly stiffer at the tail, promoting dynamic handling and good propulsion out of turns. This performance is particularly well-suited for skiers who ski with commitment and seek precise feedback from their foot placement.

Dimensions and turning radius: designed for wide, stable turns

In the 180 cm size, the Armada ANTIMATTER 92’s dimensions are 132/92/118 mm, a geometry that creates a generous turning radius, suited to wide turns rather than short, rapid sequences. This configuration benefits skiers who enjoy building speed and carving wide turns on open slopes, while still being able to handle shorter turns thanks to the rocker tip. The 92 mm waist width also strikes an interesting balance: narrow enough to transfer energy efficiently on hard snow, yet wide enough to prevent the ski from losing grip in less predictable conditions.

Profile and grip: All-MTN rocker for versatility

The Rocker/Camber/Rocker profile, dubbed “All-MTN Rocker” by the manufacturer, combines three distinct zones that work together to balance ease of turn initiation and precision. The directional rocker at the tip slightly lifts the front of the ski to make it easier to initiate turns and prevent the tip from sinking into soft snow. The central camber, positioned underfoot, maintains firm contact with the snow and ensures reliable grip on hard-packed slopes. The reduced rocker at the tail, combined with a Partial Twin Tip tail design, provides some forgiveness in deep snow and makes it easier to manage weight distribution toward the rear in a variety of conditions.

Construction: poplar and Titanal core for stability and energy transfer

The internal structure of the ANTIMATTER 92 is built around components, each of which fulfills a specific role. Here are the key elements of its construction:

• 100% poplar core: a lightweight wood that absorbs vibrations and delivers a responsive feel underfoot.
• Speed Metal Titanal laminate: a metallic layer that reduces vibrations at high speeds, improves edge grip, and stabilizes the ski on hard snow.
• AR100 full-length straight sidewall: a sidewall construction that directly transfers energy from the skier’s foot to the edges, for precise and responsive turns.
• Comp Series sintered carbon base: a dense, fast base, ideal for skiers who regularly ski on groomed runs.

The Armada ANTIMATTER 92 stands out as a logical choice for advanced or expert skiers who ski across the entire mountain and refuse to choose between on-piste precision and off-piste flexibility. Available in 172, 180, and 188 cm, it allows you to adjust the length based on your build and skiing style, whether you prioritize maneuverability or stability at high speeds.
