Essenza Chiara
97mm 77mm 123mm
Radius :

17.4m at 162cm
Sizes :

141 / 148 / 155 / 162 cm
Type :

All Mountain skis
Level :
Rocker :
Universal free-carver for motivated intermediates. Its looks are dark and elegant, but the Chiara lights up the trail. The moderate tip rocker profile combined with Bio-Logic construction and Progressive technology makes it incredibly easy to initiate turns and allows drifting at the end of turns to compensate for mistakes. Yet don't let this ski's amiability fool you. The new Chiara has plenty of room for sporty performance as well. The newly redeveloped woodcore xtraLight cuts weight significantly and lends the ski greater liveliness.
