Once we’ve started testing a given product, we detail our on-snow impressions in our Flash Reviews and our annual Winter Buyer’s Guide. When we’re able to spend extensive time testing a given product, we publish our in-depth Full Reviews and Deep Dive comparisons.]
What Armada says about the Declivity X 108
“Big Mountain Freeride Weapon.
The Declivity X 108 is an all-new freeride ski designed for full-throttle charging. Designed with the modern freeride skier in mind, the Declivity X 108 can eat up high speeds thanks to a poplar core and a TI layer underfoot, while the long, low rocker lines make it easy to break the tail loose, slash, and throw tricks. Whether you’re a big-mountain comp skier looking for an all-conditions killer, or someone looking to infuse some creativity into your charging, the new X 108 is for you.”
Flex Pattern
Here’s how we’d characterize the flex pattern of the Declivity X 108:
Tips: 6-6.5
Shovels: 6.5-8
In Front of Toe Piece: 8.5-10
Underfoot: 10
Behind the Heel Piece: 10-8.5
