Three models, multiple lengths — use this guide to find your perfect match. If you are still unsure after reading, drop us an email and we will help personally.
Start Here: Three Questions
1 — What is your skiing ability?
Be honest. Beginners and recreational skiers belong on the Easy model. Improvement requires the right equipment — as your skills grow, you can step up to faster skis.
2 — How steep is your slope?
On a flat slope, faster skis work well. On a steep slope, choose slower skis — grasski have no brakes or skidding, so speed management is entirely up to the skier.
3 — Short or long turns?
Shorter skis (80–85 cm) suit tight, quick turns and slalom. Longer skis (85–90 cm+) suit sweeping arcs and giant slalom. Skis above 90 cm are competition-only.

Easy vs. Race: Key Differences
| Model Easy | Model Race | |
|---|---|---|
| Binding | Quick-release hooks — no tools needed | Screw-type — hex key & screwdriver required |
| Boot size limit | No practical limit (notify us for boots >330 mm) | Max 320 mm sole (XXL available on request) |
| Ski height | Above FIS maximum — not race-legal | Within FIS rules — race-legal worldwide |
| Roller production | Mold-injected plastic rollers (PA66 + 30% glass fibre) | Precision CNC-machined rollers (PA66 + 30% carbon fibre) |
| Rails | Stainless steel, surface nitrided | Stainless steel, polished + surface nitrided, laser-cut belt holes |
| Development cycle | Stable — changes rolled out across seasons | Continuous — refined mid-season based on race feedback |
Standard alpine (downhill) boots work with all models. Ski-touring, telemark, and hard snowboard boots are not guaranteed to fit — their walk-mode mechanisms can prevent the binding from closing.
If your boot sole is longer than 330 mm, mention it in your order and we will swap in XXL binding components at no extra cost.
