The new Shift also features a redesigned brake + ski/walk mechanism under the heel, and the riser is integrated with that. We're under the impression you cannot swap out those heelpiece brake systems. That said, the bindings are so new that we're not 100% positive on retrofits yet.
Those are the S Max skis! They're a carving line from Salomon. They don't do a lot of sales in the States, but we occasionally get them as demo skis. They use a blend of fiberglass and ash as well as a poplar core. I would put them solidly in the "recreational" carving category. -Alex
There's another comment about this, and I hate to say it, but I have no idea what that is! Never mentioned when we met with Salomon and not in the catalog. Can you all enlighten me?! -Alex
@@powder7skisIt's apparently a new freestyle ski set to be released this season. 106mm underfoot, poplar/caruba blend core and comes in 170cm and 180cm, 699$. It's supposed to be a small release at a couple of retail locations and not available online for this season so maybe that's why the rep didnt mention it. Some info is available on the newschoolers 2025 gear preview threads.
they posted about it on their insta and its been almost a year now, they posted it last june. so fingers crossed. they should be a sick ski. they also have that weird looking all mountain ski. pointy tips and crazy colors @@asfdaigjusadjfepijfadf
New color on the QST 106 looks insane!
Stoked for the shift 2.0! I never got the 1.0 cause the reviews were lacklustre. Eager to hear people push the 2.0 and make reviews
What about the new Salomon park skies ?
next year
@@davidhudson7400 nope literally just released today, it’s called the départ 1.0
Howdy - will the new riser climbing aid fit in the original shift binding? Thanks!

Any changes to the S pro alpha 120EL?
THANKS!
What are the frontside system bindings skis you’ve got there? Would love to know about those too.

Does the Shift Alpha fit like the Spro Alpha? I need the small last and the customization like the inbounds version.
The fit should be quite similar.
Thanks for the great video!!! How heavy are the new Shift Alpha boots?
One boot clocks in at 1750 grams!
@@powder7skis thanks!! Slightly heavier than the MTN s/lab. So they are still not replacing that boot then.
What are those skis directly next to the QST X (purple skis)?
The full purple next to the orange skis are the QST 98. The ones with the purple stripe down the ride side are the X
Nice!
I wish you could show the rockerprofile of the QST X
Matt holds it up in his quick review on the ski here!! ruclips.net/video/pRmJi3MjeWA/видео.html
I wonder why they don't sell their addikt line in north America. The reviews from Europe are great.
Cool stuff..
nothing about the Salomon Depart
what have they done to the QST98 topsheet design 🥲
awful right?
IF GRIMACE WERE A SKI
