Salomon XW Tornado Ti (2010)

2001-11-26

The XM Tornado Ti is one interesting ski! With a 78mm waist and a radius of 16.3m at 173cm, the new Tornado Ti is an expert ski with plenty of guts and grip. Initiation is quicker and shorter arcs are easier than expected.


It’s a powerful ski for better skiers that spend most of their time on corduroy and packed runs and the rest "off piste".

The Tornado Ti feels like its telling you to ski fast and just let them run. The glide is top notch and two layers of Titanium with a wood core serve up plenty of torsional power and edge grip.

A ski for powerful skiers who push themselves and their skis, but when you back off a little and cruise the Tornado Ti still perform with confidence and without a lot of input. A relaxed centered stance lets you explore the ski area like you’ve been there all your life.

The Tornado Ti delivers turn variety to serve any good skier regardless of the conditions or energy level.
