Another no-nonsense frontside carver, the new Strato 80 Ti is motorhead-fast right down to the flaming Troy Lee Designs graphics. But although you can push into sweeping turns at GS speeds and beyond, it’s not race-ski nervous. The wide-body tip needs only to be rolled on edge to get the dramatic sidecut into an effortless medium-radius turn. “You can really jump on it and ski like a racer or make lazy groomer turns,” said one tester. 124/80/112;
