Sport Performance Long Turn

Looking for a high-end speed machine that lets centrifugal forces pull at you – while still offering a versatile and fun skiing experience? Then this is the ski category for you. Here, race performance meets versatility! Our testers were impressed by these 14 SPLT innovations, even if they vary in tuning and character.

The versatile racer for long, full-throttle days

This ski delivers stability and confidence in medium and long turns at high speed.
It’s a Giant Slalom-inspired model that requires less energy to steer, making it perfect for long days of fast skiing.

Strengths

  • Thrives at high speeds and larger radii.
  • Softer flex makes it more forgiving and versatile than RS skis.
  • Handles all piste conditions, including chopped snow.
  • Performs well in skidded short turns.

Weaknesses

  • Needs a certain speed to reach full potential.
  • Even though the flex is not as hard as that of an RS ski, it still requires strength and fitness.
  • In off-piste skiing it demands good technique.

Recommended Length: Sporty, technically skilled skiers choose between 175 and 180 cm. The rule is: the shorter, the more manoeuvrable the ski will be.
