{"product_id":"black-crows-octo-25-26-68863189-25-26","title":"Octo 25\/26","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"153\" data-end=\"861\"\u003eBuilt for skiers who appreciate precision as much as play, the new Octo is a sharp yet surprisingly approachable carving ski—wild in spirit, but controlled and confident on snow. On groomers, it locks into the turn with a clean, powerful edge, giving carving enthusiasts that addictive “drawn-on-rails” feeling. Its short 14 m radius and sporty flex echo the personality of a slalom ski, but the design goes far beyond tight turns: tapered tips and a touch of rocker introduce a light, intuitive oversteer that lets you shift turn shapes on the fly. Snappy short arcs, smooth medium-radius sweepers, or a relaxed slide when you want to loosen things up—the Octo adapts instantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-start=\"863\" data-end=\"1341\"\u003eUnder the hood, a poplar wood core reinforced with fiberglass keeps the ski energetic yet stable, offering a solid, confidence-boosting platform without unnecessary weight. At 1550 g per ski and 84 mm underfoot, it feels agile and quick edge-to-edge, ideal for skiers who want responsiveness without the bulk of a wider chassis. The medium classic camber provides strong grip and reliable contact through the turn, striking a sweet balance between stability and maneuverability.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-start=\"1343\" data-end=\"1559\"\u003eThe Octo is built for those who crave performance but don’t want to sacrifice ease—an engaging, athletic ski that rewards good technique while still inviting you to push, explore, and play with the mountain’s rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1118\" data-end=\"1133\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1121\" data-end=\"1133\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1135\" data-end=\"1173\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1139\" data-end=\"1173\"\u003eVersatile Short-Radius Carving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-start=\"1174\" data-end=\"1371\"\u003eA very short radius paired with quick sidecut geometry creates immediate turn engagement and ultra-fast edge-to-edge performance—ideal for skiers who want to carve dynamically at a range of speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1373\" data-end=\"1407\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1377\" data-end=\"1407\"\u003eLight, Intuitive Oversteer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-start=\"1408\" data-end=\"1601\"\u003eTapered tips and a touch of rocker add accessible oversteer, allowing smooth shifts between short slalom-style arcs, medium-radius turns, and controlled skids when you want to release the tail.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1603\" data-end=\"1645\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1607\" data-end=\"1645\"\u003eBalanced Flex for Energy \u0026amp;
