Versatile well-balanced allround ski
Product description for Black Diamond IMPULSE 98 SKI, Black Ski Unisex
Built to carve playfully through chalky powder yet open up and rip when conditions get steep and technical, the Impulse 98 by BLACK DIAMOND features a moderate, 98-mm waist that’s versatile for all-mountain skiers.
A flat, solid-core construction for added torsional stiffness provides premium power transmission and the dampness and stability to hold fast while charging on harder snow. Austrian-made with pre-preg fiberglass and an engineered poplar core, The Impulse 98 by BLACK DIAMOND is the daily driver for all-mountain skiers who need playful planks that can charge on command.
- High Performance Prepreg Fiberglass (BPRO):
High-strength E-Glass fiber is oriented along multiple axes and optimized to provide a smooth and consistent flex profile, longitudinal strength, and torsional stiffness. Toughened epoxy resin is added in precise quantities prior to ski manufacturing to ensure precise weight and consistent quality. This layup is engineered with additional 45-deg layers to prioritize torsional stiffness for maximum downhill performance and strikes a balance between toughness, durability, damping, and weight.
- Titanal Mounting 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.
- Internal Core Dampening:
Elastomeric materials are strategically located within the ski to improve damping and edge control. These layers serve both to absorb high-frequency vibration and also to allow some shear between internal layers, improving both performance and durability.
- Engineered Poplar Wood Core:
Poplar wood is the material of choice for skis where downhill performance, toughness, and torsional stiffness is a priority. Its longitudinal stiffness offers a consistent contribution to the flex profile, while its shear and compressive strength allow the composite layers to properly carry the dynamic loads when the ski bends, and its natural damping properties smooth out the chatter. Poplar is nearly ideal as a ski core material when downhill performance is the top priority.
- 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.
- 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.
- Versatile 98-mm waist attacks technical terrain and firmer conditions
- Rockered tip and tail with traditional camber underfoot
- Made in Austria with a pre-preg fiberglass layup and poplar core
- Flat-top construction and full ABS sidewalls for increased power and torsional stiffness
- Optimal Use: 60% soft snow, 40% hard snow
