Abstract
An alpine ski includes a zone for mounting a binding centered on a mounting point, and a single particular flexion deformation zone arranged between the mounting zone and one or each end of the ski. Under a static load of 900 Newtons, applied to the center of the particular deformation zone and along a direction perpendicular to the ski sole, the deformation zone adopts a generally dihedral configuration, whose deflection is greater than or equal to 13 mm, 15 mm in a particular embodiment, the ski being supported on two rods arranged under the sole, symmetrically on both sides of the zone and spaced from one another by an axial distance equal to 400 mm.
Claims10
An alpine ski comprising:
- a mounting zone for mounting a binding, the mounting zone being centered on a mounting point;
- a front end and a rear end;
- a sole;
- at least a single particular flexion deformation zone consisting of a single particular front flexion deformation zone between the mounting zone and the front end of the ski and/or a single particular rear flexion deformation zone between the mounting zone and the rear end of the ski;
- said particular flexion deformation zone being centered on a softening point positioned, in relation to the mounting point, at a distance ranging between 360 and 480 mm.
