Cirque 78
60 days to change your mind
No subject to promotional offersThe Cirque 78 is a touring ski from Black Diamond.
The Cirque range is the lightest range of touring skis at Black Diamond.
In order to achieve this result, the ski has a wooden core made of Paulownia. Reinforcement consists of high-strength carbon fibre combined with a reduced amount of strategically placed fibreglass to ensure the ski is lightweight. The latter allows the ski to maintain torsional rigidity to be sufficiently stiff and stable in the most tricky areas. The ski also has a partial ABS edge, which offers maximised cushioning in hard snow while keeping weight to a minimum.
For softer snow, the ski has a rocker at the front and a semi rocker at the back to make it easier to lift despite a relatively narrow waist.
At the front of the ski you will find a notched tip compatible with the majority of skin attachment systems, especially those with a tensioner at the front so that you can easily remove the skin without having to take the ski off
So you will have understood by now that this is a light touring ski, ideal for those who like to move quickly with a minimum weight on the mountain.
Narrower than its brother Cirque 84, this one will be preferred for its qualities on the climb where the slightest bit of weight makes all the difference
- Technical 78 mm waist with all-snow rocker in tip and heel
- High-strength unidirectional carbon fibre structure combined with a reduced but strategic amount of fibreglass to achieve greater strength. The ideal ski structure for those who prefer minimalism and fast travel with sealskins.
- Paulownia wood core
- 5 mm partial ABS bevelled edges with semi-cap construction. The ABS edges are positioned only under the foot, an area that is more subject to impact and where they provide the most effective cushioning.
- ABS heel protector with notch for skins
- Notched tip compatible with many skin fitting systems
- Titanal mounting plate
- Optimal use : 20 % soft snow / 80 % hard snow
Side cuts:
161cm: 108-78-98; Radius : 17.5m
169cm: 110-78-99; Radius : 18.5m
177cm: 112-78-101; Radius : 19.5m
This is a very good, light and high performance ski for touring. Its lightweight construction with little fibreglass makes it super pleasant to ride, 1.94kg per pair in 169cm, it is very close to the lightest racing skis on the market.
Nevertheless, on the descent, it works well. ABS edges absorb shocks on hard snow, your legs will thank you! The carbon structure ensures torsional rigidity and precise edge grip. Light and responsive, the ski pivots well which quickly gives us confidence. You can safely do jumpy turns one after another without missing a beat!
A perfect ski for sporty ski touring or ski mountaineering
Advantages: stability, grip, responsiveness
Disadvantages:none
