MAJC — Multi Arc Jointed Curve
The sidecut is designed as a series of connected arcs. By analyzing ski behavior during turns and placing arcs of the appropriate radius in the right positions, this design enables controlled turns with precise steering, grip, and propulsion.
DT — Dynamic Tail
By moving the tail's contact point closer to the boot center, the ski initiates turns with a quick tail release. The increased edge contact area enhances grip and generates acceleration as the skier exits the turn.
PPF — Power Platform Function
An aluminum alloy sheet (A7178) embedded in the core increases rigidity underfoot, improving grip while keeping tip and tail relatively flexible. Prevents the ski from bottoming out and improves stability.
FFS — Front Float System
A front rocker shape that positions the top edge's snow contact point a few percent closer to the boot's center than conventional designs. Works in tandem with FLF to optimally distribute resistance during turns, delivering stable edge grip and smooth riding regardless of snow conditions.
FLF — Front Lead Function
When the ski is tipped on edge it flexes more easily and allows a greater inclination angle, enabling "effortless" and "quick" entry into the turn, toward the fall line. The more the ski is edged, the longer the edge's snow contact length, for better grip and stability, and a wider range of edging movement for easier speed control.
SRED Plate System
Next-generation plate system (Patent No. 7577397) that maximizes the ski's natural flex. A patented reversible flip guide enables separate GS/long-turn and SL/short-turn settings.
NF Wood Core
Ogasaka selects specific wood species per model — bamboo for XX Collection, cherry (sakura) for Unity XX, beech for racing, ultra-light composites for all-mountain.
