The Impulse Ti 98 features a moderate 98-mm waist for all-mountain versatility. It’s equally adept at blowing through chop at high speed or confidently tackling steep, chalky, technical lines.

Austrian-made with pre-preg fiberglass and an engineered poplar core, BD have boosted the performance of the new Impulse by adding a sheet of Titanal which improves edge-hold, dampness, and stability at high speeds.

Features:
• A versatile, all-mountain ski that can hold its own at high speeds
• 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
• Added layer of Titanal adds dampness, power and stability
• Flat-top construction and full ABS sidewalls for increased power and torsional stiffness
• Optimal Use: 60% soft snow, 40% hard snow

Technology

INTERNAL CORE DAMPING
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.

HIGH PERFORMANCE PREPREG FIBERGLASS
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.

SINTERED UHMW-PE PTEX 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.

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.

TOPSHEET AUS TITANAL
A high-strength metal plate is embedded under the topsheet, which ensures improved torsional rigidity and damping properties.
