What Liberty says about the Radian 106:
“New for 2026, the Radian 106 is the ultimate one-ski quiver for bigger mountains with more snow. It's the wider, more powerful version of the Radian 100, providing superior performance across varied terrains with the same European quality and attention to detail.
VMT technology with Titanal metal and full carbon wrap ensures easy turn initiation, terrain absorption, and rock-solid stability during turns. The Precision Core blends poplar and ash wood with carbon fiber and Titanal metal. This combination enhances edge grip and dampening while keeping the ski playful in various snow conditions.”
