GENOMETRY
The quickest way to identify EVI skis is to take a look at the numbers on the left tail. You will see three numbers before the model name. These are also the first three digits in the serial number branded in to the side wall of the skis.
-The first digit identifies the general use of the skis, and is linked to a branch on the EVI tree. The branch also defines the construction type and layup. In general the branches from 0-4 are reserved for more down hill oriented skis and the 5-9 branches are reserved for touring skis. Therefore the left side of the tree is mostly fibreglass and the right side is mostly carbon.*
-The second number identifies the model -and a higher value is a ski intended for deep snow, a lower number is a more narrow ski compared to the other skis on that branch.
-The third number describes the skier. If you find your size you will find your right length by looking at the skier size value across all models.*
After the model name you will find the ski length (cm), then you have the waist size (mm), then you will find the radius (meter) and the last number is the overall stiffness (averaged SFI/5=average)
The Genometry has got some numbers in a contrasting colour. These are the values that change with the skier size. It is the length and the radius of the ski. The waist size and the flex index stays the same through all sizes.
*Our telemark models is an exception from the normal system
THE TREE EXPLAINED
The EVI tree is an ever growing representation of all the ski models we have produced. Each individual project gets a new twig on the tree.
There are ten branches numbered 0-9 from left to right. This number is the first digit in the serial number and genometry sequence.
The top branches (4 and 5) are the expert skis, the four bottom branches (0,1,8 and 9) are reserved for more nieche skis. On each sides you will find the more general use skis. (2,3,6 and 7)
The tree also works as a flow-chart. On the front page we have viewed the tree with names of main- and secondary branches so you can trace your ski up from the trunk: If you are mostly focused on the down hill performance you go to the left side. If you want a ski that is also very light and has got very good touring capabilities you go to the right.
