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.

Full of character and successful:

Franco

High Performance with natural rubber and zaiìra®. zai franco was especially developed for the former Swiss World Cup ski racer Franco Cavegn. Different high-quality materials and the unique construction provide for outstanding handling characteristics, in tunes with the wishes and requirements of this top class ski racer. The ski is strong, agile and extremely fast. Just like the sportsman, who provided the inspiration for it.

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

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‘s why zai has designed the disruptor.

zai is innovative team work. Research and development at the zai lab, manufactury in the mountains, urban design. Swiss made - international know-how.

The disruptor is the dynamic gateway to the world of zai. The result is an easily turning ski - smoothly running with a good grip. Completely zai - robustness and a simple elegance characterize the ski.

The models 151 and 158 cm are crafted with a supple core, agile and playful, the lengths 164 and 170 cm unfold a medium rigidity - agile with a good grip - and the 176 cm is considered as a harder and thus race-oriented ski - here, we use also thicker Titanal, together with a solid wood core. All models are the result of cutting edge technology with materials like natural rubber, ash/poplar wood and Titanal.

zai binding system: with the so-called stance lift the zai designed system induces a more upright position on the ski. The zai specific positioned and shaped stance offers relief for the knees and the back, particularly in turns, which optimizes force transmission, and thus, speed and control.
