What Shaggy’s says about the Mohawk 98
“The Mohawk 98 is built for demanding skiers that want to rail turns over variable snow types, then charge through the trees and bumps with a strong yet smeary tail.
On trail, its quick turning radius and strong grip lets you lay down deep arcs in hard snow. Off trail, ample tip and tail rocker allow you to float in powder and easily smear out a turn. The Mohawk 98 rewards an aggressive skier with an energetic flex and pop from turn-to-turn. A stiff mid-body and nanoMAG dampening keep the Mohawk tracking through crud and chopped up snow with ease.
Milled 3D core pockets reduce swing-weight on this strong yet svelte ski. Put it all together, the Mohawk 98 delivers a high performance ride anywhere on the mountain.”
Flex Pattern
Here’s how we’d characterize the flex pattern of the Mohawk 98:
Tips: 5.5-6.5
Shovels: 7-8
In Front of Toe Piece: 8.5-10
Underfoot: 10
Behind the Heel Piece: 10-9.5
Tails: 9-8
The Mohawk 98 has a relatively soft tip, but the body of the ski is generally stiff.
