For 2025 we left the outline shape of the ski unchanged, but made important changes to rocker, concave and bevels. Rob Hazelwood won his first 2 Professional titles in 2024 on this exact ski and Jaimee Bull dominated Europe with 3 Pro Titles in a row. The Works 02 is the perfect blend of stability, maneuverability and tight wrapping turns and we are confident that after trying one through our Demo Program, you’ll feel the same way.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNEW: Rocker line is flatter from front foot forward, for increased stability and turn initiation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNEW: Concave is deeper and steeper under feet, but bleeds out quicker moving forward, for better tracking and drive into wakes, without biting or stopping at finish of turn\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNEW: Bevel is optimized for more speed and swing, except through the tail, where it’s bigger and flatter for confidence inspiring hold\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShape remains unchanged: wide forebody = support and stability\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWORKS CONSTRUCTION\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBio Resin: 35% Natural Glycerin Resin, a by-product of biodiesel production \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSyndicate Core: Cross-linked structural foam for high responsiveness\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNO PLASTIC LAYERS!

The all-new 2026 HO Syndicate Works 02 is one of those moments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"213\" data-end=\"430\"\u003eAt a glance, the width remains unchanged, but everything that matters beneath the skier has evolved. This is not simply an update. It is a complete rethinking of how a slalom ski creates speed, stability, and freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"432\" data-end=\"795\"\u003eAt the center of the new Works 02 is an entirely new multi-stage rockerline. The original Works 02 featured a beautifully continuous rocker profile: fast, predictable, and smooth. The 2026 design introduces something even more powerful — defined flat spots under the front foot and through the tail, including a true flat spot beneath both the front foot and fin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"797\" data-end=\"1182\"\u003eThis purpose-built geometry creates a calmer, more stable platform that naturally generates more angle and more space cross-course. The ski creates speed through reduced drag, improved support, and more efficient movement rather than excessive effort. The result is a ski that feels alive under pressure, stable when you need support, and incredibly responsive when you ask it to move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1184\" data-end=\"1535\"\u003eThe redesigned cross-section further refines efficiency by reducing sidewall height through the tail, allowing the ski to release cleaner and with less unnecessary resistance. The new bevel profile is smaller, cleaner, and faster, significantly reducing drag and suction while creating something rare in high-performance ski design: freedom of choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1537\" data-end=\"1938\"\u003eBecause making a ski carve is easy. The challenge is building a ski that can drive hard and carve clean while still allowing the skier to break the ski free, scrub speed, smear, or reshape the line when needed to stay connected and keep the rope tight at the finish of the turn. That balance is where great skis separate themselves from good ones — and where the new Works 02 changes the conversation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1940\" data-end=\"2313\"\u003eThe new concave entry is our most aggressive to date, yet achieves exceptional efficiency and drive without relying on excessive concave depth. The result is more efficient flow into the wakes, stronger direction, and the sweet spot we have been chasing for years: stability without restriction, maneuverability without instability, and support without sacrificing freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2315\" data-end=\"2435\"\u003eThe all-new Works 02 is calmer, faster, cleaner, and more efficient — built to create more possibility
