Feels-Like-Flying (FLF) Shape Design puts you at the controls of a ride that never felt easier.Riding Excellence.Feels-Like-Flying design makes skiing and boarding easier than ever before by giving the rider improved handling and edge hold. The result is a safer, less tiring and a more enjoyable riding experience. FLF gives the rider greater control when turning, accelerating and braking for faster, more powerful riding. You can actually feel FLF work!FLF Shape Design.Palmer FLF Shape design optimizes the interaction between the lowered nose and tail kick and the sidecut. Klothoid represents the numerous radii (circles) that define the sidecut, and FLF design extends these radii into the nose and tail kick. FLF helps maintain speed when you initiate a turn because the nose doesn’t dig into the snow. FLF transfers power more quickly to the effective edge.Handling and Control.By optimizing the edge contact with the snow, FLF immediately reduces nose edge pressure after turn initiation, so the nose doesn’t get pushed into the snow. Simply put, FLF gets the nose out of the way of the turn! In practical terms this means less snow resistance power, more control and effortless handling, thanks to an optimized edge grip.Body Friendly.Because FLF Shape design makes riding more comfortable and easier to control, you feel more relaxed which allows you to conserve body energy. This energy-efficient design even reduces pressure on the knees and reduces the risk of catching an edge. Your body can actually feel FLF work.Fact: Inside Track estimates ski-related knee injuries alone exceed $250 million in medical bills each year in the United States. Be gentle to your body with the FLF shape design. |
