Armada Tracer 88

Shop all Armada
Armada s entry in the fast-n-light sweepstakes is a winner, and Armada Tracer 88 Skis aren't just featherweights -- they also happen to ski damn well in any of the huge range of snow conditions you'll find in the backcountry. At just 1200 grams in a 172cm length, the Tracer 88 goes toe-to-toe with the lightest skis in the class, and comes ready to rock with I-Clip tails and beveled Tapertop topsheets. If you love the way Armada skis perform, but haven't added one to your touring quiver because of weight, now's your chance with the Armada Tracer 88.

Product Details
Rocker Type
EST All-Mountain Rocker – Entry rocker with positive camber under foot with subtle tail rocker. Floats in soft snow while making sure the ski stays on rails.

Flex
Flex Pattern (1=Soft, 10=Stiff) – Tip: 6 | Waist: 7 | Tail: 7

Shape
Taper Tops – Beveled topsheets shave mass and lower profile in high density snow, while strengthening the ski's perimeter for maximum efficiency and stability.

Core
Caruba Core – Armada's lightest wood species creates the best uphill feel while retaining the power and dampness required in descending gnarly terrain.

Laminates
Laminate Matrix – Directional layering of fiberglass dictates flex pattern and torsional rigidity.

Titanal Binding Reinforcement – Rubber and Titanal are sandwiched together to dampen vibrations.

Sidewalls
AR75 Sidewalls – Sidewalls provide improved edge pressure under the boot, while cap constuction in the tip and tail provides smooth turn initiation and less hookiness - 75% sidewall, 25% cap.

Base
Comp Series Base – Armada's fastest sintered graphite base.

Edges
1.7mm Impact Edge – Heat treated, built to avoid excess weight while maintaining durability.

Additional Features
I-Clip Tails – Ready for climbing skin tailclips.

Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
