ISPO 2012

Hybrid technology: uniting freeride and racing 

Multifunction for top-level skiers. This is what the latest Fischer line is all about. The Hybrid highlight achieves what no other ski is capable of, offering outstanding performance on the slopes and a Freeski feeling in powder. And how? With a simple click between rockered and non-rockered ski. Switching from racer to cool off-piste rider is no trouble at all. The Double Titanium construction with Sandwich Sidewall gives you immense power and awesome performance on the piste. Twin tips and widths up to 105 mm meet the requirements placed on top freeski models. Hybrid technology creates the connection between the target groups and ski for all conditions and purposes. For high-end skiers who just want one ski for all conditions!

 

Top technology, easy handling 

Two possible settings are what make Hybrid technology stand out.

1. Rocker on: position 1 gives you all the benefits of a rocker ski. Perfect skiing off-piste, great performance in short turns on-piste.
2. Rocker off: with the 0 position you simply switch off the rocker function to leave you with a true piste monster under your feet. Ideal for long, aggressive turns on the slopes.

A mechanism integrated inside the ski with a lever on the top of the ski makes it possible. Switch over the lever, flex the ski and it goes CLICK! This enables a simple switch from freerider to racing ski for the piste.

Seven new VACUUM models

Round two for the perfect VACUUM FIT ski boots. The latest fitting method from Fischer Sports has now been extended to a wider range. In future VACUUM FIT boots will also be available as Hybrid, Freeski and Race Junior models, besides the Racing and Women Performance sectors. This means that the five existing models will be joined by a further seven: Soma VACUUM RC4 130 for racing, Soma VACUUM RC4 100 Junior, the two hybrid models Soma VACUUM Hybrid 12 Plus and 9 Plus, the Freeski model Soma VACUUM Ranger 12 and the two ladies' boots Soma VACUUM Hybrid W 10 Plus and W 8 Plus.

The successful premium label "C-LINE" is starting out in its third season. The focus of the successful high-tech performance skis here is on the tuned inline models that stand out clearly in terms of technology and performance. The exclusiveness of the series is reflected not only in the products but also in the selective sales outlets. C-LINE is available only from selected partners.

 

C-LINE is the perfect addition for the extremely sporty winter fan with a tendency towards individualism. The uniqueness of the product becomes clear immediately: it fulfils the highest of requirements through its exclusive properties and the sporty attractive looks. Thanks to the material used, the Full Carbon Jacket improves torsion and decreases weight. This means greater stability on the skis and unbeatable performance – for many winters to come, as the exceptional properties of carbon are retained for years. To round off the products, the entire C-LINE range features the lighter Racetrack TUNE.IT that also offers individual tuning possibilities for special requirements and conditions.

Peak performance for every wish on the mountain

Now you can conquer the whole mountain: Adrenalin, the backcountry-compliant Freeski binding with hike function. With the new top product from Fischer you are best equipped for every eventuality. Thanks to its width of 80 mm, its climbing function gives you unrivalled stability. Switching from ski to hike mode with this binding is quick and easy: all you need is a ski pole. The climbing function with its three positions is likewise easy to use. It can be set to 0, 7 and 13 degrees, making it ideal for handling different types of terrain. Additionally the binding ensures very direct power initiation when climbing. The fact that it is positioned directly beneath the heel means that no power is lost. Besides its perfect climbing properties, Fischer Adrenalin Freeride is also a highlight when it comes to the descent. Its outstanding stability and power transfer are based on the characteristics of the proven high-performance Alpine binding. For unrivalled performance in the backcountry as well!

The fattest from Fischer

Freeride ROCKER is a must for uncompromising freeride pros. Big Stix from Fischer Sports is where it's at. Thanks to its special rocker technology this cool ski guarantees balanced and smooth turns off-piste. A special shovel geometry with long tip ensures that the ski floats perfectly. Regardless of whether you have powder or old snow: with Big Stix, turn initiation is easy and the ski gives you perfect turns on all slopes. Its Sandwich Sidewall construction makes the Big Stix an extremely high-quality, stable ski with smooth and balanced flex. The liveliness of this outstanding ski comes from its wood core – throughout the entire range from 98 to 120 mm.

Lightness and performance thanks to Paulownia

X-Kaltenbrunner offers excellent ski performance and smooth manoeuvrability for women. Perfect ski geometry and Tour ROCKER technology guarantee these characteristics. A robust and lightweight Paulownia wood core makes the ski resistant to breaking and stable in all conditions. Developed with extreme sportswoman Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner, the focus was on what really matters: a stable top ski that gives you lightness despite the good downhill performance.
