Curve XS combines 3 revolutionary technologies to give the most accurate snomobile ski available.

Snow Control™ One of the most revolutionary features of this ski is the contact profile. By combining a constant radius center keel along with a carefully chosen side cut radius, a continuously variable outer cutting edge is created. With a continuously variable radius as part of the contact profile, snow velocities across the ski bottom change. This is an extremely desirable component when applied to the ski contact surface correctly. Snow first enters the front of the ski where it meets the keel radius and beginning of the edge radius. As the snow progresses across the ski bottom toward the spindle pivot, the edge radius decreases, causing a drop in velocity and consequently, compaction. Once the tight pivot radius is passed, the snow is expelled through an ejection radius that increases to the back of the ski. By correctly tailoring the intake area to the compaction area, a solid rail of snow is formed. Just as rails are used in roller coasters to rapidly divert forces of the cars in a different direction, our skis utilize a similar energy transfer method. When snow is formed into a rail and compacted, it's harder to sheer in a corner causing under steer or push. Likewise, it is more difficult to force a change of course while riding on a trail at high speeds, otherwise known as darting. These are the premier concepts that have been focused on and refined to create a truly incredible handling experience.

X-Beam™ This spindle mounting structure on the top face of the ski is comprised of multiple complex geometric faces that have been molded with the ski. At the core of this layout is an X. With an X positioned both forward and aft of the spindle, ski rigidity never before possible can be obtained. Bending moment and torsion couple resistance are immediate benefits of utilizing an X pattern on the ski face. When turning a 500lb sled on a dime, tremendous forces are absorbed into the ski and must be transferred precisely to desired areas. The mounting structure plays an integral part of ensuring the turn is fluid and safe. Due to the incredible abilities of our skis, the X configuration is integral and imperative.

Another key benefit of our molded X structure is the ability to "trim the fat". In other words, unneeded material is removed, whereby reducing weight, and weak areas are pin pointed and strengthened. Using computerized finite element analysis or FEA, the ski can be placed in various operating conditions and modeled for results. Scenarios like diving into a hole can be simulated and played out with incredible accuracy. Deflection and spring back are then tailored by modifying different X structure characteristics. To back it all up, extensive real world testing certifies all the computer predictions.

Synergy™ Wrapping up the three unique features is one that has taken a great deal of time to perfect. The idea of a ski working as a system is one we focus on adamantly. We believe that a snowmobile ski is a series of individual components that must work synchronously together to form an active and dynamic system. In other words, all external inputs or forces placed on the ski, must have a channel of absorption that compliments the overall function and performance.

This idea was thoroughly in place when we designed our ski loop with a variable cross section. We understand that when the ski tip flexes to absorb an impact or contour, the ski loop must act as a shock absorber. Instead of the loop limiting the ski tip in its motion, it simply compliments it; allowing unprecedented feedback to the rider.

Each component listed above has been designed and tested specifically to work as a system. Every curve, every radius, and every geometric feature of our skis exist in that form for a reason. That is why no matter what sled you ride or how hard you ride it, Curve Xtremes will redefine what accurate and predictable steering really is.
