Impulse Ti | Black Diamond Equipment

Nouvelle version améliorée de notre ski primé Impulse, l'Impulse Ti dispose d'une couche supplémentaire de Titanal qui permet d’augmenter sa stabilité, son amorti et la fluidité de sa glisse pour tracer des grandes courbes dans la poudreuse profonde. Conçu principalement pour le hors-piste, l'Impulse Ti excelle dans les manteaux neigeux épais à souhait. Comme on les aime.

« Ce ski est purement orienté neige douce » précise l’ambassadeur BD et skieur emblématique Mike Hattrup.

Introduction du ski Black Diamond Impulse Ti

BD athlete Dorian Densmore skiing in Argentina.

Hattrup a travaillé sur le développement de l'Impulse Ti pendant qu'il était directeur de l’unité commerciale Neige chez Black Diamond. Il donne les détails de sa conception.

« En tant que marque, la neige douce retient toute notre attention. Nous préférons les zones boisées, les couloirs et les barres rocheuses aux pistes bien damées » avoue-t-il.

C'est pourquoi l'Impulse Ti bénéficie d’une spatule graduellement plus longue et plus large sous le pied par rapport à un ski de piste classique.

« Si, comme nous, vous êtes en hors-piste la plupart du temps, l’Impulse Ti devrait vous intéresser » confie Hattrup.

En vérité, l'Impulse Ti peut tout faire. Enchaîner les descentes en station. Les sorties à peaux. Etc. Et quand vous vous retrouvez le jour J dans la neige fraîche jusqu’aux cuisses, l’Impulse Ti répond présent.

Ces skis sont conçus pour la neige profonde. N’attendez pas pour aller chercher les vôtres.

"This ain’t your grandpa’s Black Diamond. The new Impulse Ti 104 core has been completely redesigned, breathing new life into this all-mountain powerhouse. The revamped core is a full poplar layup with a sheet of Titanal that extends from tip to tail. Poplar is an exceptionally stiff wood, providing solid torsional rigidity and power for enhanced edge hold."

"The first impact is one of lightness underfoot, conferring a sensation of a malleable, nimble playful tool that will turn wherever you want it to. Reliable control in both powder and firm snow, the skis delivers a good balance between performance and lightness, meaning it's great for resort skiing as well long ascents in search of fun lines, much like a pure freeride ski... Solid in technical terrain, very nimble through medium- and short-radius turns, they're comfortable in both steep couloirs, powder days in the trees and also hold their own in wind crust when the need arises..."

“Fun on soft snow, yet handles well at high speeds, the Impulse Ti 98 is a versatile all-mountain carver. Fun and playful, yet precise and responsive when it counts, as soon as you put it on it feels instantly familiar. Intuitive and easy to handle, it follows your lead like a faithful friend. It floats well on deep snow, and the soft tail immediately makes you want to throw a few tricks. It holds up well on all kinds of snow and its lightning-fast responsiveness lets you push it to the limit. Super agile as well as incredibly stable thanks to its flat-top construction and full ABS sidewalls that guarantee smooth, precise turns and torsional rigidity. A truly versatile piece of equipment that would work as a one-ski quiver for skiers looking for a fun, responsive ski."

"The Impulse we love, now with Titanal metal. It’s not a full sheet of metal, so the ski is still accessible, but the metal, combined with the dampening layer, provides a fabulous ride, as Katie testifies: “Super easy to ski. On-piste it’s a helluva lot of fun, at speed, razzing around, and it’s also fun in the bumps.” Ffion spent a good amount of time on this ski: “I love how it looks. It’s confident on-piste at speed, with loads of purchase when carving, as well as when using rotation to steer. It handles off-piste, choppy snow insanely well, and doesn’t feel catchy, heavy or super wide. It’s fast edge-to-edge and the added stiffness prevents the tip from flapping.”
