Bi Ski Superlite Outrigger Options
Superlite Outriggers come with a variety of choices because we feel it is important to accommodate a wide range of ability levels and unique customer needs. Below we provide some insight and general recommendations to help you with these choices.
Grips
- Ergonomic grips improve comfort and control by increasing support at the skier's palm. They are made of soft black rubber and are left and right specific.
- Endurance grips are made of slightly firmer rubber. They are designed to reduce fatigue and improve control. They are not left and right specific which makes them a great choice for programs that have several pairs of outriggers.
Flip
- For competition flip, the ski tip flips down when the string is pulled. This allows for a faster, more fluid skiing style with less resistance on the snow. We recommend this style for intermediate and advanced bi skiers.
- For standard flip, the ski tip flips up when the string is pulled. This allows for more stability when stopping or standing. This style is more appropriate for novice bi skiers.
Tips
- NEXGen ski tips are stronger and lighter. A tapered and rockered tail reduce “chatter” at speed while an open pin design reduces the chance of snow jamming. The ski angle can be adjusted up to 15 degrees lower. You can learn more about the NEXGen of Superlite Outriggers here.
- Original tips are the Industry's number one selling ski tip and continue to be a popular choice for programs and individuals alike. They're classics!
Resistance
- Ice Screws are designed to reduce resistance while skiing. We recommend these for intermediate and advanced skiers.
- Brake Claws provide extra resistance and stability while skiing. They actively break during use which is helpful for those just beginning to ski. We recommend these for novice skiers.
