{"product_id":"armada-antimatter-92-ski-2027","title":"Armada Antimatter 92 Ski 2027","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArmada Antimatter 92 Ski 2027\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AntiMatter 92 is built with a full poplar core and one sheet of their new Speed Metal laminate. As opposed to the Articulated Titanal Banding that we’ve talked about forever, Speed Metal is a bit simpler. We get one central strip of titanal that runs from the tip to the tail to dampen and power the skis when pushed aggressively. At the same time, the sides of the ski remain unencumbered by that metal, so they do have a loose, drifty, and playful feel for when you want to be more creative with your skiing. Overall, we found that they do possess a bit more freeride character than the older skis, but still have a lot to offer those who love to absolutely rail confident turns on firm groomers. The width acts as a balancing agent—capable of smoothing out inconsistencies in terrain and making everything feel like perfect corduroy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shape and profile should come as no surprise here, as the mold is shared with the outgoing Declivity 92. The 188 boasts a sidecut split of 133\/92\/119 for an 18-meter radius while the 172’s 131\/92\/117 split equates to a 17-meter arc. The 180, which we did not ski, sits right in the middle at 17.5 meters and weighs an even 2000 g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the lengths, the turn shape is pretty short—something we always noted and appreciated about the Declivity. With a bit less taper and rocker than other skis of the same shape and style, the AntiMatter 92’s shape always felt like it leaned more to the frontside as a comprehensive carving partner with off-piste capacity when needed. The new construction makes the ski feel a bit closer to a true 50\/50 ski in this width range. Best suited to advanced and expert skiers, this is a high-performance ski with a lot to offer assertive and aggressive skiers. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Armada","offers":[{"title":"172","offer_id":48418617262330,"sku":"39333","price":1599.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"180","offer_id":48418617295098,"sku":"39334","price":1599.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"188","offer_id":48418617327866,"sku":"39335","price":1599.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/5288\/6522\/files\/RA0000882_2_GHO_ANTIMATTER-92-png-cq5dam-web-1200-1200.jpg?v=1772714885","url":"https:\/\/www.snowride.co.nz\/products\/armada-antimatter-92-ski-2027","provider":"Snowride Sports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
