The Nitro Ultimate snowboards are crazy light, but that’s just one point. Unlike other lightweight construc-tions, the new Koroyd core material provides unparalleled response and control at any speed. The tapered profile tip disperses energy and re-duces swing weight, ready for action on the pistes and in the powder. The Koroyd core has built in dampen-ing, making it float like a feather with maximum precision and response. This is the ultimate all-mountain board for the rider that demands nothing less than perfection.

ADVANCED VENTILATION THAT IMPROVES
IMPACT PERFORM ANCEThe Vantage was built for the hard-core demanding the ultimate in everything. New for 2014, the four strategically placed Koroyd inserts in the crown of the helmet reduce energy transmission and increase the amount of air entering and exiting the helmet. Each Koroyd insert is separately thermoformed to exact dimensions, and inserted into pre moulded cavities for the most precise integration. Combine all this tech with Smith’s pioneered AirEvac technology for goggle integra-tion, and the Vantage delivers the perfect blend of technology and style.

Salomon presents two freeski collections featuring a unique construction of Koroyd inserts in ABS frames for the 2014 season.
The Rocker2² is Salomon’s most playful and progressive collection yet, a versatile range of highly adapted shapes, rocker profiles and constructions to make the most of every natural mountain playground. Koroyd inserts in the tips and tails reduce the inertia on the extremities of the skis for a low swing weight and a more maneuverable ski in the pow-der. The unique tip and tail construction also significantly improves dampening to comfortably help you through those hard snow areas.
The Q freeski collection by Salomon is the ideal option for fun and exploration in the resort and beyond. Whether you spend 80% of your time charging knee deep powder, or prefer more precision with the ability to explore only once in a while, Q provides all-mountain performance with-out sacrifice. The Koroyd featured tips allow for easy piv-oting, improved dampening and an overall smooth ride.

FIS APPROVED HELMETExtreme protection for high speeds. The new POC Skull Comp DH Koroyd is optimised for the higher speeds of Super G and Downhill skiers, without giving up protection in more mod-erate speed crashes. The helmet not only complies to the new strict FIS regulations for the 2013/2014 season, but does this with an unparalleled thin absorption liner made out of Ko-royd. The helmet features the first full Koroyd liner formed from a flat sheet into a complete liner exactly matching the shape of the shell. Engineered protection.

THE KOROYD CORE IS PROVEN TIME AND TIME AGAIN AGAINST TRADITIONAL ENERGY ABSORBERS INCLUDING EPS AND FOAMS. UPON IMPACT THE CORES CRUSH IN A COMPLETELY CONTROLLED MANNER, DECELERATING THE ENERGY FROM THE IMPACT AND REDUCING THE FINAL TRAUMA LEVELS.
