Carbon Kaizen 112
Kaizen Construction
Regular price $1,695
The Kaizen 112 is the next evolution of the highly awarded shape that has made powder skiing easier and more fun for thousands of skiers around the world. The 15m turn radius makes for a maneuverable ski that can pivot, slarve, and slash wherever you choose. Deep tip rocker and taper give exceptional float, and complement the turn radius, so even powder turns in tight trees can become your friend. The Kaizen 112 features a lowered tail rocker profile, which increases edge engagement on firm snow and gives an improved feeling of popping energetically out of the turn. To top it all off, our Kaizen construction creates a more stable and damp ski, so you can trust it in all conditions.
We are hard at work building these skis! Some lengths of these skis are currently backordered. If you have any questions please reach out to us at info@dpsskis.com.

Carbon Kaizen 112 Construction
The Kaizen 112 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.
