Carbon Kaizen 100
Kaizen Construction
Regular price $1,695
The shaping of the Kaizen 100 creates a unique, do-it-all ski within the market. Like the Kaizen 112, this ski features substantial rocker, as well as a 15m turn radius to maximize maneuverability around the mountain, allowing for nimble turns and a strong sense of control.
With a big rockered tip, the Kaizen 100 has class-leading float making it a great powder tool, but it can also happily arc turns on perfect early morning corduroy, or wiggle down a mogul field. Whether surfing a surprise storm or mach-ing through spring corn, the Kaizen 100 allows you to master it all.
Do you actually wax your equipment as much as you should? Do you care about the environmental impact of your wax no matter what type you are using? Make the best decision for the performance of your gear and the environment. PHANTOM is an eco-friendly, one-time application, permanent waxless base treatment that eliminates the need for regular waxing of skis and snowboards and is inert to the environment. When used on a properly maintained base, PHANTOM’s patent-pending polymer technology offers ultimate convenience combined with great glide performance that never wanes across all snow temperatures, and for the life of a ski or snowboard’s use.

Carbon Kaizen 100 Construction
The Kaizen 100 offers a completely new construction and shape that represents innovation and evolution with our new split core and updated carbon fiber laminate. Combined, these elements have led to our most stable and energetic ski ever.
The Kaizen core builds on the horizontal lamination concepts explored in our Pagoda skis, and layers the dense vibration absorbing ash in a new way and in a different location, using a new glue which has its own damping properties. The carbon fiber has been developed using methods from our Pagoda Tour line and is designed to optimize energy. With our damper core of ash and poplar, it’s a harmonious interaction that creates better skis now, and opens up exciting ideas for the future.

The KZ100 shape, which I believe is similar to the old RP shape, allows you to effortlessly transition between turns. It’s hard to describe, but you feel planted when in a turn, yet can easily transition through your tip or tail out of the turn. This, paired with the shorter turning radius and the snappiness of carbon, makes for quick and confident skiing. You feel like a nimble god, ready for anything that comes your way. It’s very confidence inspiring

First impression is just an all-around beautiful ski. Of course, the real test is yet to come but it will come soon enough, and I have no doubt they will perform as advertised. As I am basing this off of my last pair of DPS ski's (Wailer 99 pure 3) that I skied in all conditions from east coast packed powder (ice) to waist deep pow out west. From what I hear these perform even better. Bring on the snow!!

I won't be able to say more until the snow falls and I can get out on these, but I am looking forward to setting them up for the backcountry and getting some CO lines in this fall/winter.

The only knock I have is that when I ordered them at dreamtime, they were out of stock. This seemed odd and made me a little nervous since you had my money at that point. Once you had them they came quick and they look great as usual. I love the kaizen 112 and am looking forward to the same improved performance. (and it is).
