Intermediate to advanced skiers love the Salomon X-Drive 8.0 Ti for hitting the groomers at various speeds. A Wood Core with a Double Titanium Layer gives you fantastic stability and rebound with a very lively feeling for making short to medium radius turns. Salomon's All Terrain Rocker 2.0 has a rockered tip to initiate turns quickly, camber underfoot will provide you with rebound and a small amount of rocker in the tail releases you out of turns effortlessly. The 8.0 Ti has a Semi-Sandwich Construction with a vertical sidewall underneath the binding platform that gives you solid edge hold on firm snow with a Monocoque Cap Construction in the tips and tails to make the ski easy to maneuver. Salomon's X-Chassis uses a Carbon/Polyamide Diagonal Reinforcement woven over the middle of the ski to increase the torsional strength and make the ski more responsive, especially at higher speeds. To round out this total package, Salomon has added the RKS (Rocker Stabilizer) to increase the precision of the ski and reduce the chances of the tip wobbling when you lay them flat and really start moving. If you are looking for a stable and easy to maneuver ski that will cave beautiful arcs down the groomers the Salomon X-Drive 8.0 Ti will not disappoint you.

Information & details required from you for ski setup:
- Skier's Age.
- Skiers Height.
- Skiers Weight.
- Boot brand/make & sole length in millimeters. Usually found embossed on side of heels. eg 315mm
- Skier classification: Please pick one: Type -1, Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, Type 3+
Type -1
Skiers looking for a lower release setting than type 1. Recommended for beginners over 25 years old.
Type 1
Ski conservatively. Prefer slower speeds. Ski on easy to moderate slopes. Intermediate level, but not in good physical fitness. Good skiers, but with smooth supple style, but emphasizing safety. Favour lower than average release/retention settings – This corresponds to increased risk of inadvertent binding release in order to gain increased release capacity in a fall.
Type 2
Intermediate skiers in good physical condition. Prefer a variety of speeds. Ski on varied terrain, including most difficult trails. All skiers who do not meet all the descriptions of the other types.
Type 3
Ski aggressively. Normally ski at high speeds. Prefer moderate to steep terrain. Favour higher than average release/retention settings. This corresponds to decreased capability to release in a fall in order to decrease the risk of inadvertent binding release. (Type 3 should not be used by skiers of less than 22kg)
Type 3+
Very strong skiers, on challenging terrain. Skiers looking for higher release settings than type 3. N.B Skier type does not have the same meaning as skier ability. I.E, an advanced skier who skis all-terrain but is not particularly aggressive may be able to use type 2 settings.
Using the boot sole length you give, we set the binding to that length, but the final adjustments and checks can only be made with the actual boot. Heel and toe units on ALL boots have to conform to a certain size and shape. However, sometimes boots especially older models or well-worn ones, may vary in length compared to another stating the same measurements hence it is important that you do have them professionally double-checked. We recommend that you have your skis double-checked by your local or resort ski shop with your actual boot.
