Armada ARV 106 Black Edition Ski w/ Strive 11 Demo Binding 2026 - 164cm
Imagine effortlessly arcing through fresh corduroy, then popping into a side hit and buttering through a hidden glade, all on the same run. The Armada ARV 106 Black Edition, in a nimble 164cm, is crafted for those who see the entire mountain as their playground, seamlessly blending playful agility with unwavering confidence. Its robust Poplar Ash Core delivers a lively snap out of turns and unwavering stability through chop, inviting you to push harder and explore further. The synergy of its AR Freestyle Rocker profile and innovative Smear Tech beveling in the tip and tail creates an almost surf-like feel in soft snow, effortlessly pivoting and floating, yet it maintains surprising edge hold for confident carves when conditions firm up. Built for resilience with w3Dgewall sidewalls and durable 2.5 Impact Edges, this ski is ready to withstand the rigors of daily exploration, from park laps to challenging tree lines. Paired seamlessly with the Strive 11 Demo binding, you’ll experience immediate power transfer and a remarkably low-profile connection to the snow, translating every subtle input into precise ski movement, all while offering the flexibility of demo adjustability. This isn't just a ski; it's a versatile extension of your adventurous spirit, designed to unlock new lines and playful possibilities across the entire mountain.
PRODUCT CONDITION
This Armada ARV 106 Black Edition Ski w/ Strive 11 Demo Binding 2026 - 164cm is in Sample condition. The topsheets on these skis display scuffing and scratches as well as one or two small chips. Bases show superficial scratches. Edges have light corrosion near the tails from storage.
This item is a sales sample from the manufacturer. While the product is new, it may show signs of slight use coming from the product being displayed and/or tried on and may differ from a retail product.
Disclaimer: The bindings on this ski are demo bindings that will accommodate many sizes of ski boots. The bindings have not been fitted and tested for your specific ski boot. The DIN on this binding has also not been adjusted in accordance with your specific height, weight, ski boot sole length, and skier type. We recommend that you have a certified binding technician adjust the bindings in accordance with your specific measurements to ensure that the bindings release properly.
TECH SPECS
- AR Freestyle Rocker – Rockered tips and tails are combined with positive camber underfoot
- Flex (1=Soft, 10=Stiff) – Tip = 6, Waist = 7, Tail = 7
- Poplar Core – Stability, power, and ease
- Ash Binding Insert – Ash binding inserts provide maximum strength and binding retention with a more sustainable construction than binding inserts made from other materials.
- w3Dgewall – 3D molded, injected sidewall that’s angled where it joins the wood core, creating a mechanical bond in the mold during ski construction for a stronger, more uniform connection between the sidewall and core. With more material in critical areas for added durability and a three-dimensional taper in the tip and tail, the w3Dgewall creates a ski that will stand up to more abuse while providing enhanced edge grip at reduced weights.
- S7 Base – Durable and low maintenance, with a speed additive for quickness.
- 2.5 Impact Edge – Oversized and specially heat-treated, this edge is built to resist impact damage in the most demanding situations.
- Terrain: All-Mountain
- Ability Level: Intermediate-Advanced
- Rocker Type: Rocker/Camber/Rocker
- Turning Radius: Medium, 17m
- Core/Laminates: Wood
- Tail Type: Partial Twin Tip
- Tip/Waist/Tail: 132/106/125
- BINDING
- DIN 3.5–11
- 24 mm low stand height - Enhances power transfer and feel
- GripWalk auto-adjust - Seamless boot compatibility
- LDN toe design - Improved edge control
- Retractable elevated brakes - Smooth in deep snow or switch landings
- SCP + AFD system - Smooth and safe release
- Elastic travel - Balances retention and forgiveness
- Adjustable track - Customizable mounting for fleets
