Fischer recently announced some changes they’re making to their Curv line of piste- and frontside-oriented skis for the 2024-2025 season.
Most notably, they’re adding four new models: The Curv GT 76, Curv GT 80, Curv GT 85, and Curv GT 85 Redefine. We should be getting on some of these new skis later this season, but in the meantime, let’s cover the details.
Now, if you’re already familiar with Fischer’s naming schemes, you’ll know that there’s already a 23/24 ski that’s just called “The Curv GT.” That piste-specific, 76mm-wide ski will be called The Curv GTX for 24/25. The 23/24 ski currently known simply as “The Curv” will also reportedly return constructionally unchanged for 24/25, but we need to confirm its exact name for next season.
These four new 24/25 Curv GT models effectively replace Ficsher’s current “RC One” series of piste-oriented skis (which aren’t as race-inspired as the 23/24 “The Curv” and “The Curv GT” skis).
Easy, right?
Anyway, the details on the new Curv GT models are fairly sparse for the time being, but in their press release, Fischer calls out a few key features.
First, all the skis feature what Fischer calls their “E-Triple Radius” design. It’s similar in concept to Fischer’s current Triple Radius sidecut concept, except the execution is basically reversed. Previous Triple Radius skis from Fischer have featured shorter sidecut radii at the tips and tails for quick turn initiation and a longer radius in the middle for control and stability. The new E-Triple Radius skis feature longer sidecut radii at the tips and tails and a shorter radius in the middle. The goal with this latter design is more controlled turn initiation and minimal “hooking” in more variable snow conditions (like you might ski on wider frontside skis like the new Curv GTs), while still allowing for tighter turns via the middle of the ski. In concept, the E-Triple Radius sidecut is similar to Volkl’s 3D Radius.
The new Curv GT skis also get a new top sheet that’s reportedly more durable, and they all feature some form of titanal metal.
The outlier in the new series is The Curv GT 85 Redefine. Fischer says it has the same specs and skiing characteristics as the regular Curv GT 85, but the Redefine is produced exclusively in Austria and flax fibers are used in place of fiberglass or carbon. As a result, Fischer claims that “over 36% CO2 equivalent is saved compared to the conventional production of a comparable ski.”
Here are the stated specs we have for the 2024-2025 Curv GT skis, and at the bottom, we’ve added the full press release from Fischer.

Fischer Announces The New Curv Collection
The Curv series expands with four new skis that take versatility on the slopes to the next level. The new Curv GT 85, 80, and 76 skis with E-Triple radius are dynamic, adaptable, and ideal for a wide range of piste styles from turn shapes. In addition, The Curv GT line features a reimagined top sheet with a geometric structure that reduces scratches and improves durability. The Curv GT family excels on hard, groomed slopes as well as on soft, rutted runs. The new models are perfect tools for demanding speed fans. But that’s not all: For those who place more emphasis on sustainability, The Curv GT 85 Redefine offers absolute high-performance features with environmentally friendly materials and local production in Austria.

Now that the skis are all launched it seems there are 2 lines:
The Curv GT line of 4 skis that you cover here
The Curv line also of 4 skis – The Curv (to answer your naming questions), The Curv GTX (former Curv GT, The Curv DTX and The Curv DTI. All are 70mm wide apart from the GTX, which is 76mm
The Fischer website is a bit inconsistent as a couple of them have RC4 in the name, but all 4 have RC4 on the topsheet, and confusingly the Curv is called RC The Curv (am assuming some of this is lazy proof reading)
