The Black Crows Ova Freebird has received another complete facelift after nine years in the range and after its third revision.

It is a ski with a much sportier flex, very lively, but still very good-natured and easy to ride. However, the intended lightness does not detract from its downhill behaviour, which is both comfortable and exemplary.

And the new core makes the Black Crows Ova Freebird ski a nice powerhouse that gains in aggressiveness without losing popularity.

Attention: mounting not compatible with telemark bindings.

Features:
• Average lift: 85 mm at the waist.
• Front Rocker: pivot point and lift
• Classic camber: balance between stability and manoeuvrability
• Titanal reinforcement under the bindings: Reinforcement of the binding unit
• Medium flex over the entire length of the ski: performance and forgiveness
• Construction: semi-cap and cap in the shovel area for weight saving, lightness, and handling
• ABS sidewalls except at the tip
• Core: Paulownia / blend of carbon and glass fibre
• Additional Fabrics: Titanal reinforcement under the bindings

Flex: Tail - Waist - Tip: 68 - 71 - 62 = 68 (out of 100) = Soft

+ ATK Raider 10 Binding incl. Stoppers

The ATK Raider 10 range adds a dedicated version for lighter free-tourers. Stylish design and the same features of Raider 12, with a lower release value.

Raider 10 presents 4 different productive Technologies and 6 ATK Bindings Patents, among which the Snow Pack Proof System which avoids the snow, ice or debris entrance under the toe piece locking mechanism.

The extensive know-how that ATK Bindings developed on the racing field has also made it possible to achieve a weight of only 335 grams, including the rear ski brake which provides a great braking action with an astonishing ease of use and lightness.

A fully-adjustable Freeride Spacer is available as an accessory and definitely fills the gap between Free Touring and Free Ride categories taking precision and power transmission to a racing Alpine binding level.

Features:
• Easy Entry System: new geometry of the toe parts elements that makes the step-in easy and confident with any tech boot available on the market, even in case of worn out soles.
• SNOW PACK PROOF SYSTEM: no snow pack under the toe part, even with several up-hill/downhill transitions. It also avoids snow loads on the toe piece granting a perfect lightness at any moment.
• U.H.V. System (Up-hill Hardness Variator): system that allows to change the up-hill locking hardness of the toe part. It compensates the boot toe insert wear and tear during the years, provides a proper locking strenght for each user and reduces the pressures on the locking mechanism.
• CAM RELEASE SYSTEM: exclusive system that provides the most stable downhill performance on the market, extremely precise release and the softest heel step-in of the industry.
• ELASTIC RESPONSE SYSTEM: an elastic sliding system (10 mm of elasticity) applied to the heel part to ensure the natural ski flex (also in case of big jumps/compressions), improves the binding release performance when the binding is stressed, reduces the pressure on the ski-boot-binding system.
• Magneto Heel Flaps provides 5 different walking modes
• The built-in crampons slot assures the perfect insertion of any ATK Bindings crampon size
• The release system on the heel part provides a 4 to 10 adjustment range, both lateral (Mz) and vertical (My)
• SKI-BRAKE ELASTIC SLIDE: integrated in the ski-brake pad to keep the lateral release value of the binding fixed
