Description

FROM THE MANUFACTURER

New 2021 Black Diamond Helio Carbon 104 skis are designed for all day backcountry missions. The skis balance playful, soft-snow performance with a lightweight build with technical precision for when conditions are variable.

The Helio Carbon 104 are constructed from a pre-preg carbon fiber layup with full perimeter ABS sidewalls for improved dampness and a smooth ride. The paulownia wood core keeps the ski lightweight for big days in the backcountry all while maintaining a smooth flex and torsional stiffness for reliable, responsive skiing on the way down. The early rise in the tip and tail improve flotation and trail breaking efficiency. Lastly, the ABS tail protector has an integrated skin-clip tab to keep the skins from sliding off.

FEATURES

Rocker		178 cm – 334mm Tip Rocker / Camber / 242mm Semi-Rocker Tail
Core		Engineered Wood Core Paulownia wood is the material of choice when light weight is required, but compromising downhill performance is not an option. The stiffness and weight properties of paulownia wood make it the go-to material when using carbon fiber layups. Its slightly softer longitudinal stiffness allows for the use of stiffer carbon composites without compromising the flex profile of the ski. It has good compressive and shear properties, which allow for remarkably smooth and chatter-free ski performance at very low weight.
Laminates		Titanal Binding Plate A high-strength metal plate is embedded underneath the composite layer to ensure that binding screw retention is never a concern. This plate also serves to increase torsional stiffness and provides a solid foundation underfoot. Pre-Preg Carbon A blend of High-strength carbon fiber oriented along multiple axes combined with strategic amounts of high-strength E-Glass for toughness and damping, this layup is optimized for efficiency without giving up downhill performance. Toughened epoxy resin is added in precise quantities prior to ski manufacturing to ensure precise weight and consistent quality. This layup is ideal for any backcountry mission.
Sidewalls		Full-Perimeter ABS Sidewalls ABS sidewalls wrap the entire perimeter of the ski, offering optimal durability and damping. Used on skis designed for maximum downhill performance and durability, but optimized for minimal weight.
Base		PTEX 4500 Base Industry-accepted as the premium base material, this sintered UHMW-PE base provides very high density for excellent durability and wax retention, combined with high carbon content for superior glide.
Other Features		ABS Tail Protector Integrated Skin Clip Slot
