Liberty Helix Skis 2016

IS YOUR DNA BONDED BY ACCELERATION AND STABILIZED BY BIG AIR?

 

The 2016 Liberty Helix is here to enable your dependence on snow and speed. The versatility of the Helix is derived from both it’s all-terrain sidecut, and best-or-nothing material selection strategy. SpeedCore Construction is built to do what it implies. The pairing of Bamboo and Poplar at the skis core loads up at the high point of the arc, and generates an exhilarating, weightless feel between turns. The P-Tex 2000 Base holds wax, and takes a beating. Stealth Rocker covers the entire spectrum of terrain with its modest early rise tip, and cambered tail. The Helix’s hang on at speed on hard snow, but also bob weightlessly through surfy pow turns. Along the edges, polyethylene sidewalls and polyurethane bumpers work together to protect the most vulnerable part of the ski from edge-to-edge collisions. 

Construction

SpeedCore Construction - The high end effectiveness of SpeedCore is a product of the materials of production. Bamboo and Poplar alternate within the Helix skis to in order to provide rebound at a maneuverable overall weight.

Bamboo Backbone - Bamboo’s high strength-to-weight ratio makes it an ideal core material. Liberty positions Bamboo stringers along the edges of nearly every ski they make, and thereby create skis that grip ice at a high edge angle while remaining maneuverable in trees, deep snow and big mash bumps.

UHMW Polyethylene Sidewall - Polyethylene sidewalls devour vibration, keeping the ski awesomely stable at high speed. This material is highly resistant to abrasion, and pairs with HRC 48 Edges in order to protect the wood core of the ski from repeated edge-to-edge impacts.

P-TEX 2000 Base - This is a fast, sintered base which accepts and retains wax extremely well. In the race against your ski buddies, you’ve gotta take every advantage you can get.

Core

Bamboo/Poplar Wood Core - Alternating stringers of vertically laminated Bamboo and Poplar wood sandwiched between dual bamboo backbones keep the Helix’s Light but give the tails great ollie power.

QuadAxial Fiberglass - This custom 4 way fiberglass weave provides torsional rigidity while maintaining consistent lengthwise flex.

Shape

Stealth Rocker - Rocker in the tip of the ski starts low, but doesn’t rise abruptly, and therefore doesn’t push snow. This gradual rise causes the ski to plane on top of pow, and affords the ski exceptional maneuverability in spring mash.

Additional Awesomeness

HRC 48 Edges - Hardened by heat and manufactured with a broader profile, and bigger anchors, the HRC 48 edges are beefy as heck, and provide edge grip tune after tune.

Durathane Edge Runners - These Polyurethane bumpers are located between the Top Sheet and the QuadAx Fiberglass, and not only dampen chatter, but help maintain the aesthetic superiority of Liberty Skis along the vulnerable edges.

Binding

The Liberty Helix does not come with a binding. We recommend you use a binding that will accommodate your skiing needs (backcountry, touring, all-mountain, freestyle etc.). Be sure the brake width and release settings will work for your particular activity. Questions about what's best for you, contact an expert at TheSkiMonster.com.
