Majesty Havoc Carbon

What we think:

Don't let yourself get fooled by the Havoc's stiff flex pattern. Under the attractive (and durable) graphic is a masterpiece of a powder-specific touring ski. Forget the tank, what you're looking at is a nimble, responsive and confident ski everywhere.

Up front, you'll find a precise and damp shovel with just enough stiffness to effortlessly get you through variable snow. Underfoot, the Havoc is there for you no matter how hard you push. As any good directional freeride ski, it will reward good technique, but don't expect a ski that asks for brute force. Out back, nice and stable tails that will let you rail high-angle turns await, but somehow the Havoc has an easy (should we say effortless...!) pivot that will have you search for tight spots and last-minute direction changes.

And on the skin track, yes the Havoc isn't a weight-weenie, but its lower swing weight is bluffing. Majesty, that's a damn fine ski you've crafted here. Mount with a lightweight binding, and go get pitted.

What Majesty Says

 

The Majesty Havoc is the sort of ski you just want to hang on your wall and look at. But under that artwork of a topsheet hides a true backcountry freeride charger. The Havoc is a strong and directional powerhouse that comes at a super competitive weight for such a wide ski. 

Thanks to its features, the Havoc can be your deep days touring ski or your  lightweight powder inbounds option. The Havoc is a fast and and immensely adaptable ski. Smooth turns no matter the speed or the conditions are what it's best at. Whether you like to rip down big mountain runs, ski powder and trees, explore the bowls or shred inbounds in variable snow, the Havoc will excel all over the mountain. 

Majesty calls their ski technology the 4 x 4 Design Concept, and skiing the Havoc it quickly becomes apparent why such a name. With its carbon and aramid fiber construction, its light paulownia/poplar hybrid core and its 4-radii sidecut, this freeride backcountry ski really feels like an all-terrain vehicle! 

4 x 4 Design Concept

The 4Radius sidecut means that there are 4 radii in the sidecut of the skis, which gives you more confidence in turns as you can engage the edge more effectively and keep it the edge engaged easier and longer. It enhances your ability to make short, sharp turns, long big mountain turns and you can release the edge immediately when needed. This enhanced control significantly improves stability, giving you more confidence at any speed and all types of terrain.

The 4Radius rocker tip means that there are 4 radii in the rocker profile, which reduces drag, maximizes top speed and control.
