disruptor

You live your truths. You follow your own path. You don’t do things differently because of the others. You do things because they suit you. It is your concern to find your own identity. You don’t float with the current – you are the current. That was the exact reason for zai to design the zai disruptor – alias zai rubber.

The ski is the dynamic starting point to the world of zai with its natural rubber surface. The result is a ski with excellent turning properties – smoothly running with a good grip. Totally zai – robustness and a simple elegance characterise the ski.

Models 151 and 158 cm are designed with a supple core, agile and playful. The lengths 164 and 170 cm unfold a medium hardness in the core area – agile and with a good grip. The 176 cm is considered as the harder and thus race-oriented ski – here we use, apart from a solid wood core, also thicker titanal. All models are the result of cutting-edge sandwich technology with natural rubber, ash/poplar and titanal materials.

zai transmission system: the particularly developed zai system combining ski geometry, preload and positioning of the binding optimises the force transmission, and thus speed and control.

Gliding on wood

Wood

The classic model among the zai ski captivates optically with its elegant surface, hand-made from walnut veneer. The differences in the wood grain give the zai wood its individual look and turn it into something unique. Behind the timeless design of the exterior hides a high-tech interior. The interaction of wood, steel and fibreglass provides for easy handling and ultimate skiing control in a variety of snow conditions. Both, wood and steel, can be refurbished and once more polished. Thus, the zai wood inspires with its timeless look, which will become even more beautiful with the natural ageing process of wood.

The ski, made from slate

Stone

The mountain in the ski – since 2007, zai ski manufactures ski from stone. The new zai stone is the consistent further development, bringing the stone to the surface and creating the world-wide only ski with an upper stone chord. Thanks to composite with the substrate material, the slate becomes pressure-resistant, absorbent and flexible. The result is a ski with excellent turning and unparalleled quiet running and gripping properties. All models are the result of cutting-edge sandwich technology with ash/poplar and titanal material. The latest model captivates with its absolutely unique design, which turns each ski into a unique object. Efficiency, robustness and simple beauty characterise the ski. Its true size becomes evident, particularly on hard slopes.

Graceful and timeless:

Testa

Gliding on something unique. The classic one among the zai ski captivates optically with its elegant surface, hand-made from walnut veneer. The differences in the wood grain give testa its individual looks and turn it into something unique. Behind the timeless design of the exterior hides a high-tech interior. The interaction of wood, steel and carbon provides for easy handling and highest driving control with a variety of snow conditions. Both, wood and steel, can be refurbished and once more polished. Thus, the zai testa inspires the season after season with its timeless look, which will become ever more beautiful by the natural ageing process of wood.

Focused and revolutionary:

Spada

The ski with a granite core and a surface made from cellulose acetate. The mountain in the ski. This idea is incorporated in the zai spada, the worldwide only ski with a core made from stone. The granite with the carbon fibre laminate CFS is encased ®, which makes the pressure resistant stone bendable. The result is a ski with excellent turning and unparalleled quiet running and gripping properties. The spada is constantly being refined. The newest model consists of the proven CFS®-.technology and a revolutionary surface made from natural cellulose acetate, which makes every ski unique. Efficiency, robustness and simple beauty characterize the ski. Its true power becomes evident, particularly on hard slopes.

Stable and compact:

Onza

The refinement of the surface. zai onza embodies performance and elegance at the same time. The ski unites several cutting-edge technologies used by zai. Thus, the pressure transmitter made of spring steel was refined with zaiíra®, which stabilizes the ski in longitudinal and lateral direction. In combination with natural rubber, a new functional surface with a high technical performance evolved, creating a variational performance character. The inner life of the zai onza hides numerous layers of unidirectional carbon fibres in different directions of travel. Two further absorbing layers from rubber were also inserted. zai onza is running quietly, stable, economical and conveys confidence with the first turn. The model is available in black and white.

Versatile and without compromise:

Laisa

zai double-tip technology for high performance on powder and piste. Anyone looking for an authentic alpine all-mountain ski will find in the zai laisa the perfect model. With this ski, you will ski on or off piste without compromising any of its performance. The double Tip®-Technology, its rocker geometry and the construction of the carbon structure provide for outstanding free ride characteristics. With the Double-Tip®-Technology, the weight at the tip of the ski is reduced, minimizing the sliding resistance in deep snow. Thanks to its ultra-light construction, laisa weighs only 1800 grams despite its width, making it the ideal ski for trekking and touring. At the same time, the laisa is also a high-performance on-piste ski with excellent torsion
