Pique-R Mono Ski

• Versatile Sizing: One frame size fits everyone from 5'0" to 6'3".
• Lightweight: Manufactured from aircraft grade aluminum, the complete frame weighs less than 25 lbs without a seat.
• Ride Height:The Pique-R strikes a middle ground that inspires a more stable and playful skiing experience.
• Adjustments: Instead of adjusting center of mass down at the lower boot over the ski, the Pique is adjusted up at the upper frame over the suspension. This provides a more consistent suspension experience for all skiers regardless of skier size, amputee, etc. This decoupling provides flexibility and the skier gains an unmatched range of setup with less performance drawbacks. The Pique offers 120 different setup positions through adjustable center of mass, seat angle, footrest position and footrest angle. All of these adjustment can be made with only one tool, a 7/32" Allan Wrench, while a common #3 screwdriver is used for swapping seats and adjusting the footrest length. Every adjustment is on threaded inserts to eliminate fumbling with nuts and wrenches. This makes the Pique one of the most adjustable sit skis on the market and easiest to adjust.
• Kinematics: A high performance RockShox Vivid Ultimate Coil shock drives over 6" of travel. This provides enough guts to explore the mountain while keeping the ski lighter, nimbler and easier to maneuver. The RockShox Vivid Ultimate Coil shock offers unprecedented tuning including rebound, low / high speed compression, and hydraulic bottom out control. The suspension layout is tailored to get the most out of this lightweight shock. The leverage curve is engineered to be plush off the top, consistent through the mid stroke and provide significant supplementary ramp up at bottom out. This variance of suspension feel is made possible with the Pique's progressive dual link. The Pique's progressive dual link also minimizes unsprung weight so it takes less force "up" from the snow before the suspension begins to move. The result is a more compliant ride that feels more connected with the snow. While those forces "up" from the snow are more compliant, we engineered anti-squat against the forces "down" from the seat. This innovation resists inadvertent energy loss into the shock. With less energy inadvertently absorbed into the shock, movements from the skier are translated more efficiently down to the snow, increasing responsiveness and making it easier to initiate turns. The Pique moves through travel different than other sit-skis too. Off the top, it pressures the tip of the ski going into turns. Through the mid travel, the seat angle is consistent providing more predictable mannerisms. As you get deeper into the travel, the frame dumps the seat angle back towards the tail. All of these kinematic characteristics combine with the intention of emulating able-bodied skier motion and providing a truer interaction with the alpine ski.
• Chairlift: To improve skiing performance, the Pique-R does not have a chairlift assist system. It requries the skier to time and lift themselves up onto the chairlift. To minimize hang ups, the Lower Boot has a one sided skid to protect the heel of the binding from the underside of the chairlift while the Upper Frame has a recessed skid plate without any rivets or fasteners that chairlift padding could catch on. Skier's may have to shimmy further forwards to unload than they are used to because the Pique's suspension packaging tucks the shock up out of the way allowing the skier to sit all the way back against the chairlift's backrest. This added room makes the Pique easier to load and more comfortable on the way up.
• Clam Shell Seating System: Our infusion molded fiberglass seats are substantially stiffer, ski superior, and fit better than our original co-polymer plastic offerings. The Clam Shell Seating System has an adjustable back angle which is ideal for sit skis with chairlift loading systems, programs who fit many different skiers, and individuals dialing in their skiing. Convenient for programs, our Clam Shell Seating System is interchangeable between the Dynamique, Monique and Pique.
• Boot Sole Length: A 325mm BSL aligns with the RESNA suggestion and is similar in size to many mono skis on the market including the Monique.
• Accessories: Everything from outriggers to spare springs are available to help make your experience even better and can be found here.

The Pique comes with choices to accommodate a wide range of ability levels and customer needs. Below we provide insight and recommendations to help you with those choices.

Version

• Pique-C is our most accessible variant. It is the go to choice for skiers who want an easier, more predictable chairlift experience while still offering great ski performance on the way down.
• Pique-R foregoes a chairlift assist system. It steps the performance up a notch for skiers who want a lighter, more durable, precise ride on the way down and are open to adjusting how they load and unload the chairlift for those benefits. It is also our most affordable variant.

Color

• For all Pique's, the upper frame is anodized black while the lower boot, rear a-arm and suspension links are anodized gray. Our standard color is green. The center subframe will come in this color.
• Desire something else? The center subframe can be custom anodized select other colors for $250. Specify in the notes box and we will contact you. This may add 1-3 weeks to orders.
• Want even more color? In addition to the center subframe, custom orders placed and paid in full during our off season have the opportunity to also anodize the gray parts a second color of their choice. Thank you for understanding that this service is not offered October through March during our busy season.
• Note: Pique's are only available in anodized finishes. We do not offer powder coating for this sit-ski.

Shock Spring Weight

• Below are our recommendations. More aggressive skiers may find they enjoy jumping up a spring weight from recommended. We recommend programs with multiple seat sizes purchase 400lb, 500lb & 600lb spring weights to provide as many skiers as possible with the best skiing experience.
• Under 110 lbs = 300lb spring
• 110 - 140 lbs = 400lb spring
• 140 - 170 lbs = 500lb spring
• 170 - 200 lbs = 600lb spring
• 200 - 230 lbs = 700lb spring

Seat Size

• We measure seat size by the shell width at the hips. This measurement takes a thin liner and padding into account.

Seat Back Setup

• At 14" tall from the seat bottom, the Low Back offering is a contoured choice for skiers with enough abdomen strength. It does not have chest strap mounting provisions. It does not include a Chest Strap or Limiter Strap.
• At 22" tall from the seat bottom, the High Back offering provides additional support for those who need it, while a relatively flatter back profile allows those who don't need it to still achieve separation without the sides digging in. It is a program conscious shape that allows one seat to better serve a wider range of individuals. The High Back has chest strap mounting provisions and includes a Limiter Strap. The Limiter Strap is a Velcro strap that provides a "set and forget" way to remember where the seat back angle was.
• The Basic Chest Strap is an add on for the High Back. It can be adjusted up and down 2" in height to better match a skier's needs. Combined with the Limiter Strap the setup provides unprecedented shell support for skiers using chest restraints and allows these skiers to pressure the tip of the ski like never before with an adjustable seat.

Footrest

• Only one footrest size is available for the Pique.

The Pique has a user weight limit of 230 lbs and is covered under our Adaptive Skiing Equipment Warranty. While similar to other sit skis, several key features make it unique. Please familiarize yourself with the manuals before use. If you do not see something you are looking for or have any questions contact us!
