![]() ![]() I was able to test a pair of Helio 105’s in length 175 cm for a little over two weeks. This is intended to reduce chatter in firmer conditions, but still keep the ski light. Basically, at the front of the ski where the construction begins to go from camber to rocker, a layer of rubber is placed into the sidewalls. And that system is present in the Helio 105’s. ![]() But, the core is now made of balsa wood, whereas paulownia wood was used for the Megawatt.īlack Diamond has been integrating a sidewall dampening system into their sidewalls on some of their models as well. Similar to Black Diamond’s previous carbon skis, the Helio 105 uses pre-preg carbon fiberglass and reinforced ABS sidewalls. Furthermore, the tail features a skin clip tab in the tail. The Helio 105 has taken on the more normal rocker-camber-rocker approach, with a rockered tip and tail, but traditional camber underfoot. For now, we’ll focus our review on the Helio 105 carbon ski. We intend to do a more detailed review of the full Helio line-up at a later time. These carbon skis will be available in widths 116, 95, and -17, and the Helio 105 has been released early and is actually available now. The Black Diamond Helio 116 on the left, and Helio 105 on the right.In its place will be the new Helio line. There are changes coming to the Black Diamond Ski line-up! These changes will impact what Black Diamond has quantified as their ski mountaineering series – specifically their carbon skis like the Aspect, Convert, and Megawatt.
