HO 2018 VTX - Demo 67.5

Syndicate VTX Design

SINGLE RADIUS ROCKER: The VTX employs a long smooth rockerline designed to give skiers a much more stable and forgiving feel throughout edge changes. With no true flat spot, the VTX allows for less sticking points in the turn and casts out evenly and consistently onside and off.

A1 WIDTH PROFILE: Years after its release, the Syndicate A1 is widely known as the best shaped ski of the modern era due to its perfect combination of balance, stability and maneuverability. For 2017, we’ve re-employed this shape, with its very large sweet spot, giving skiers the proven battle-tested width profile that’s become so beloved.

46 DEGREE BEVEL ANGLE: Increased bevel angle allow the ski to roll on edge and turn like a narrow ski with the speed & stability of a wide ski, giving you the best of both worlds.

MADE IN USA: HO Skis is proud to design, test, build and finish all Syndicate Skis in the United States of America. From conception to completion these skis are handcrafted by the Legend/Champion/Expert design team headed by lead engineer and HO VP Dave Wingerter, ski Legend and Master Shaper Bob LaPoint, and the Syndicate pro team including Will Asher and Jon Travers whose constant testing and modifications

VIBRATION DAMPENING SYSTEM: A strategically located tip weight combined with an elastomer damping pad, dampens the natural frequency of the ski’s shovel for increased stability. This system reduces tip “chatter” or “feedback” that can be caused by rough water at high speeds, resulting in a more confidence inspiring “quiet” feel for the skier.

CARBON FIBER SPEEDSKIN: HO Skis has taken the highly successful laminar textured ski base, Speed Skin, and applied it directly to the carbon fiber base of the Syndicate skis! This new Carbon Speed Skin not only reduces ski drag/increases ski speed, it also reduces ski weight by 20% by eliminating the ski base graphic material.
