PTO Verdict
“Same 84 mm footprint as the standard Montero AR, rebuilt in the race room — edge grip at the top of the class, and it demands speed.”
Best for: Strong, aggressive all-mountain carvers — especially skiers with a race background — who want race-like grip and damping on an 84 mm daily driver. It also suits skiers who already love the Montero AR and want another gear: more damping, more connection, more power and more precision on firm, groomed snow at speed.
Not for: Anyone below solid advanced. The independent verdict was blunt — 'there's nothing really easy about this ski' — and the Pro punishes a passive pilot instead of covering for one. Skiers who want easy low-speed manners and turn-shape versatility should buy the standard Montero AR, which keeps exactly the compliance the Pro trades away. Soft-snow-first skiers are in the wrong aisle entirely: 84 mm of piste-leaning geometry is not built to float, and Stöckli's own line routes those days to the Stormrider models. And nobody should buy this expecting a light ski — Stöckli publishes no weight, and race construction is not where lightness lives.

Description
The Stöckli Montero AR Pro is an 84 mm all-mountain ski, new for the 26/27 season. It keeps the standard Montero AR's shape and rebuilds it with Stöckli's race-department construction. It measures 128-84-114 mm in every length, comes in five lengths between 165 and 185 cm, and the turn radius grows from 14.2 m on the 165 to 18.4 m on the 185.
The geometry is carried over; the build is not. A sandwich construction around a poplar-light and beech All Mountain Core gets a Titec aluminum top layer, a Race Base with racing-graphite coating, Racing Sidewalls in black, and FTC where the standard AR runs tip-and-tail flex (TTF) and adaptive contact length (ACL). Stöckli credits the race parts with precise power transmission and optimum glide. Independent 2027 testing translated that to snow more bluntly: the sidewalls are stiffer and the base thicker than the AR's, the edge grip is exceptional, and the ski wants speed before it comes alive. Up front, the All Mountain Rocker (70 mm rise over 400 mm) and the tail rocker sit over camber for turn entry and release.
This is a ski for strong pilots who carve hard and arrive with speed — a race background helps. If you want easy low-speed manners instead, buy the standard Montero AR: it keeps what the Pro gives up at low speed. Soft-snow days are not its job either; at 84 mm the AR Pro leans clearly to the piste side of all-mountain, and Stöckli's Stormrider models cover that ground. Stöckli publishes neither a weight nor a flex rating, so don't buy it expecting a light ski.
We stock it two ways — as a flat ski, or built up with the Strive 13D binding into a system. The flat version comes pre-drilled rather than free-mount; bring your boots and we will sort the binding, the length and the mounting.

Stöckli Montero AR Pro

The take
“Same 84 mm footprint as the standard Montero AR, rebuilt in the race room — edge grip at the top of the class, and it demands speed.”
Stöckli's Montero AR Pro is easy to describe and hard to ski. New for 26/27, it takes the Montero AR's footprint unchanged — 128-84-114 mm, five lengths from 165 to 185 cm, a 14.2 to 18.4 m radius — and rebuilds the construction with parts from the race room: a Titec aluminum surface, a racing-graphite Race Base, black Racing Sidewalls, and FTC Flex Torsion Control where the standard AR runs its TTF tip-and-tail flex and ACL adaptive contact length. Stöckli's own claim for the race hardware is precise power transmission and optimum gliding; the shape adds All Mountain Rocker up front and tail rocker over camber for entry and release.
The first-season independent tests agree on what the rebuild bought. One called the edge grip 'miraculous'; another summed the ski up as 'the AR after two espressos' — more damping, more connection, more power and more precision than the ski it is based on, with a stiffer feel attributed to upgraded sidewalls and a thicker base. The same tests agree on the cost: the Montero AR Pro likes to be brought up to speed before it operates at full capacity, and it gives up the lower-end compliance that makes the standard AR an everyday ski.
Be honest about both the ski and the evidence. Tester language was pointed — 'there's nothing really easy about this ski' — and this is a first-year model, so what we know comes from official specs and first-season test impressions. Stöckli publishes no weight and no flex rating, and beyond the aluminum top layer the internal metal layup is not officially stated. A race-construction 84 should be bought for grip and stability, never on an assumption of lightness.
Within the Montero line the choice is clean. The standard AR — an 'everyday GS ski' in the independent comparison — keeps low-speed compliance and turn-shape versatility — the ski to pick if you do not want the Pro's speed threshold and driving demands. The Montero AX at 80 mm is quicker edge to edge; the same comparison called it the line's best balance of quickness and stability. And if soft snow leads your priorities, Stöckli's answer is not a Montero at all but the Stormrider line — the Stormrider 95 is where Stöckli sends soft-snow-first skiers.
Five lengths run 165 to 185 cm, radius growing from 14.2 m to 18.4 m as the ski gets longer. We sell it flat or as a system with the Strive 13D, the binding in Stöckli's workbook configuration. The flat ski is pre-drilled to Stöckli's D20 pattern and takes compatible Strive demo models rather than any binding on the wall; binding choice, length and the mount are shop work, and we handle all three.
Bindings we'd pair with it
Mount point: Sold flat or as a system with the Strive 13D. The flat ski is pre-drilled (Stöckli D20 pattern), not free-mount. Our pick: Strive 13D.
- Strive 13D blackWorkbook configuration
The binding in Stöckli's 26/27 workbook configuration for the Montero AR Pro; the system version ships with it, plate included.
Stöckli's site recommends the Strive 13D across all lengths, and the pre-drilled D20 pattern accepts compatible Strive demo models (Strive 11/13/14 MND Demo). Binding choice and mounting are handled in the shop.
Common Questions
- What is the difference between the Stöckli Montero AR and the Montero AR Pro?
- Geometry: none — both run 128-84-114 mm in 165 to 185 cm lengths with a 14.2 to 18.4 m radius. Construction: the Pro adds a Titec aluminum top layer, racing-graphite Race Base, Racing Sidewalls and FTC Flex Torsion Control where the AR uses TTF and ACL. On snow the Pro is damper, stronger and more speed-hungry; the AR is easier at low speed and more versatile.
- Is the Montero AR Pro new for 2026/27?
- Yes — Stöckli introduces it as a new model in the 26/27 workbook. What exists so far is official spec and first-season independent test impressions.
- Is the Montero AR Pro good for intermediate skiers?
- No. Independent testing put it plainly — 'there's nothing really easy about this ski.' It needs speed and an active, committed pilot; anyone below solid advanced is better served by the standard Montero AR.
- How much does the Montero AR Pro weigh?
- Stöckli does not publish a weight for the Montero AR Pro, and no credible third-party measurement exists yet, so we do not quote one. No flex rating is published either. Expect race-build solidity rather than lightness.
- What lengths does the Montero AR Pro come in?
- Five lengths: 165, 170, 175, 180 and 185 cm, all 128-84-114 mm, with the radius growing from 14.2 m at 165 cm to 18.4 m at 185 cm. We match length to your weight, speed and terrain in the shop.
- Does the Montero AR Pro come with bindings?
- Both options exist. We sell it flat or as a system package with the Strive 13D, the binding in Stöckli's 26/27 workbook configuration. The flat ski is pre-drilled to Stöckli's D20 pattern for compatible Strive demo models — it is not a free-mount flat ski — and mounting is a shop job.
