Armada ARV 88 Madsteez
The Armada ARV 88 Madsteez is a precise freestyle twin for ambitious park riders seeking maximum pop, strong edge hold, and lightning-fast response. Its narrower all-mountain shape delivers quick edge-to-edge transitions and controlled carving on firm snow while remaining playful enough for rails, kickers, spins, and technical tricks.
The lively Poplar Core generates explosive rebound for powerful take-offs and direct feedback on landings. Freestyle Rocker in the tip and tail makes spins, butters, and feature approaches easier, while camber underfoot provides precise pressure and dependable grip. W3DGEWALL construction and an Ash Binding Insert enhance stability, power transfer, and binding-area strength.
Durable Impact Edges and the tough S7 Base prepare the ski for demanding park sessions. Artwork by Madsteez, a longtime creative collaborator of Armada, gives it a distinctive look. A direct, responsive ski built for technical freestyle performance.
