With the UBAC touring ski range, ZAG manages the balancing act so that you no longer have to decide between a light ski for the ascent and a top performer for the descent. The UBAC 89  touring ski for women is the narrowest ski in the UBAC collection; ascent-oriented and the first choice for ski mountaineers. 

Its minimalist weight allows long trips without any effort. Besides, its excellent adhesion in downhill gives a feeling of safety in all types of snow and excels on hard snow.

Technology

Light
One goal: to allow skiers to have a light and comfortable ski in all snow. This result is achieved through the combination of glass and carbon fibers, making the Freerando skis twice as stiff in torsion. The paulownia wood core allows you to fetch a few extra grams, without affecting the touch of snow and the resistance in time of the material, as could a foam core. ABS sidewalls and High Resistance steel edges help the ski to resist the impact of all winter long. A construction that allows freerandonneurs to ski safely!

Half CAP
Forces transmission is facilitated by the half cap sandwich construction, which also procures more grip on harder snows. The ABS sidewalls design on the sides make the skis live longer by increasing shock absorption and bring an extra layer against the cold.

Multi-radius shape
Drawing technic that provides us to change the radius in several independents zones (tip, center, tail). it brings the radius much shorter underfoot (increased handling) whilst keeping tips and tail tolerance for the hardest snow.

5 Point Shape
Specific shape technic that enables us to increase the manoeuvrability of the ski without extend too much the rocker (which can bring some vibrations). Feature based on the variation of the lengthwise from the widest points of the ski: ZAG gather the widest points as close as possible of the center to make the ski playful and turn easily.

Torsion resistance
Stiff flex underfoot, a bit softer on the two end points for a better absorption and an easy pivoting.

BIO-SOURCED RESIN
ZAG use a resin which is 33% bio-sourced in the skis that ZAG produce in Tunisia in the Meditec factory. These are the models Adret and Ubac Team. This bio-sourced resin is used since 2016. It is mainly composed of oil produced with oil plants.

RECYCLED SKI-EDGES
All the edges ZAG use, whether they are thick on alpine skis or thin on ultra-light skis are from recycled metal

BIO-BASED TOPSHEET
Topsheet: it is the decorative plastic surface on the ski. It protects it from edges kicks and other hitches. This topsheet is derived from 50% bio-based polyamide: from castor oil (tropical shrub)

FIBERS
The fibre is the second most important material in terms of carbon footprint in a ski. Currently ZAG are using various glass, carbon and Kevlar fibres. These are not natural fibres and this is the reason why ZAG are working on the sourcing of less harmful fibres, for the environment, such as flax fibres that absorb the vibrations quite well.
