DPS Pisteworks 89
What the manufacturer says
The versatile all-rounder of the Pisteworks range. With an 89 mm waist, a 16 m radius and a full-carbon construction, it combines powerful carving with playful ease. It excels on short to medium turns, but can also be manoeuvred cleanly when the snow is rutted or the line becomes more creative. Carbon damping keeps it calm, responsive and stable throughout the whole day’s skiing – without being tied to any particular skiing style.
SKIMAGAZIN rating
A ski that’s the antithesis of the classic edge-gripping model. “There’s no ski in this category that turns more readily,” enthuses one tester – highlighting the Pisteworks 89’s greatest strength: it drifts playfully, turns easily and feels particularly at home in softer snow. On hard piste and when carving aggressively on the edge, it lacks a bit of dynamism and stability. On the other hand, it delights skiers who take a relaxed, creative and versatile approach to skiing. A headstrong character for soft conditions and connoisseurs with a playful streak and a taste for something exclusive.
