The RDS is the rocker shape designed by Ninthward to achieve a rocker style performance maintaining consistent contact points to keep you on track in all conditions. The tip and tail has a minimal rocker rise with camber under foot for the quick edge-to-edge turning and maneuverability enhancing flotation.

The shape is an all mountain backcountry freestyle ski with the best high performance components available. A standard Poplar core transfers high speed energy into clean turns and the single wide 5.5mm ASS sidewall with Hyper Edge and formula 9 epoxy technology decreases weight to make you feel more weightless than ever before. Carbon fiber calibrators throughout the tip and tail maximize Ollie pop, sharp die-cut base keep things fresh and clean.

Powerful engineering wrapped up in this beautiful product keep you proud for days allowing you to constantly push limits.

Manufacturing specs

All Ninthwards are manufactured with the highest quality ISO materials in the world in the best European manufacturing. Every Ninthward ski has a 25 point visual inspection during production and one final inspection before "A" quality is specified.

Unlike other independent brands, each Ninthward ski is flex tested to match its partner, assuring the most consistent pair of skis on the market.

• Fully wrapped 45 HRC steel edges.
• Custom routed polished sidewall with a 45-90 degree shape to deflect energy of impact in the sidewall material.
• Some models double the industry norm with an 8.5 mm ABS sidewall and others models with a 5.5 mm sidewall to achieve a higher impact resistance on hard rail landings and increase dampening capabilities.
• Micro laminate Poplar or Beech/poplar Core reduces the overall weight and prevents breakage during hard landings and every day abuse.
• One inch carbon runner from tip to tail to increase life span.
• A proven PA 12 top sheet material is used on all models to eliminate chips, scratches, and tears.
• Six layer rubber dampening over edges to improve edge hold and eliminate chatter.
• Sintered or silkscreened IS 7500 base material for fast performance, superior wax absorption and solid durability.
• Custom layered fibreglass to increase pop and overall response.
• Beech inserts in some models aids in binding retention to prevent pull from water and wear.
