2014 D3 Quest Women Slalom 65" - USED SKI
USED - SOLD AS IS, 65 INCH PINK
The D3 QUEST seemed like the perfect name for this new slalom design. The R&D process for the Quest has taken much longer than anticipated. D3 has explored more new concepts on this slalom journey than any other in their 10 year history. The new bevel design, increased surface area and a revolutionary new rocker pattern are all designed to work in perfect synchronicity with patent pending ROCKERBLOCK. This design allows the Quest to deliver maximum stability and control while maintaining effortless course width and symmetrical turns.
*** Introducing ROCKERBLOCK ***
Much like the "rocker ski" craze that is sweeping the snow ski market, the magic of ROCKERBLOCK is in the placement of the rocker. The extra-wide snow ski design was a great innovation in powder skiing. It allowed the skis to float on the top of the soft snow making powder skiing more fun and less effort. But with this extra width came a downside, they were harder to turn. The addition of tip and tail rocker made the wide skis now effortless to turn. The wide skis with the addition of rocker make skiing easier for everyone.
The patent pending ROCKERBLOCK delivers a similar experience to water skis. Flatter skis with less rocker are typically more stable, cross the course better and allow easy access to the front of the ski into the turns. The down side is the turns are difficult on a flatter ski. The skier is typically forced to push the tail to complete the turn as the ski does not naturally want to come around on its own. Conversely a ski with a lot of rocker will turn effortlessly but is quite difficult to control, does not hold angle well thru the wakes and skis inconsistently at best. By adding the rocker in the last 8" of the ski with ROCKERBLOCK the Quest can now reap the benefits of a flatter ski while still achieving effortless turns that must be experienced to be believed.
100% Carbon fiber laminates
Resulting in the lightest, strongest construction with lightning fast rebound.
Additional tail width added to the last 17" of the ski
The added surface area creates lift, reduces skier effort and keeps the Quest riding level.
Completely redesigned hydrodynamic bevels
From tip to tail the Quest bevel assembly has been designed for uninterrupted water flow creating consistency and stability previously thought impossible.
Shallower concave shape in the fore-body of the ski
The fore-body of the Quest allows the skier to easily transfer weight to the tip with minimal body movement. The Quest engages the off-side turn with amazing ease.
Industry first tip-to-tail "sweet-spot" reduced rocker philosophy
The Quest has the unique ability to make the skier feel confident at all times. The tip stays low, the ski never bites out of the turn and the Quest creates space before each turn that must be experienced to be understood.
The intersection of the concave and lowest bevel has been re-created. The result is a small flat area under both sides of the length of the front foot
The flat area expedites the skis ability to move fluidly from edge to edge. The ski casts out to the apex of the turn with the skier in absolute control.
All new tail shape
The tail shape has been re-created to make the water release cleanly off the tail. This eliminates drag and promotes a clean and complete turn.
Standard with new D3 and HO inserts
All D3 skis now come with an insert hole pattern that accommodate both D3 and HO binding plates. HO EXO Bar System requires adapter plates
ROCKERBLOCK pat pending - R30 is standard equipment on every D3 Quest. (R45 and R60 are an available option).
The patent pending ROCKERBLOCK delivers a feeling that can only be described as a "complete game-changer". Skiers who experience ROCKERBLOCK for the first time are shocked by the angle they can easily create and maintain.
Zero Tolerance manufacturing process
The D3 production facility is state of the art in every way. Every ski is inspected and must pass all criteria for rocker, flex, weight and flat spot before it receives a serial #. All D3 skis are documented and filed under their born-on- date and serial number.
