Thanks to an important R&D work and after a two-years-test made by members of the French national team and several athletes, everybody agrees that the Scarver is in path to be the new reference in sit skiing. |
| The Scarver introduces many adjustments possibilities, more than any other sitski. From the seating angle to the centre of gravity, the whole thing doped with a light and stiff frame, the Scarver nearly becomes a custom-made product. Moreover, with its easy system to use the chairlift, the shock absorber developed specially with the races service of Öhlins France and Fournales, and the choice between 3 different kinematics, the Scarver is a total new product designed for competition. |  |
Indeed, according to his way of skiing, the skier will be able to choose the suspension movement which will allow the ski to work properly during the entire curve in any situation.
Concerning the use of the chair lift, the unique unlock system of the frame is very easy to reach and to use. Thanks to the whole geometry of the frame, after having pushed up the skier only has to lean forward to keep the frame in high position before loading the chairlift. Finally, thanks to its cinematic and to the sitting plate, the Scarver is very stable and easy to unload the chair lift.
Although the Scarver was developed for racing or extreme skiing, it is also easy to ski. Indeed, some standard adjustments are defined to make it very accessible for intermediate skiers.
Also the Scarver exists in 2 standard heights (high and low: -3cm). The frame is the same, only the shock absorber is different from a height to the other.
The Scarver can also be used in Dualski, only by replacing the Uniski base by the Dualski base. Freeride addicts won’t find a better sitski for the fresh snow!
With all these options and settings, all users can take advantages of the high performances of this unique product.
