OUR REVIEW OF THE BLACK CROWS OVA FREEBIRD
MANUFACTURER’S OPINION
The Black Crows Ova Freebird is continued this season. For its third update, the manufacturer announces a ski with a noticeably more « sporty » flex but which remains very accessible. 2400g per pair in 176cm and available in 5 sizes: 156, 163, 170, 176, and 183cm. This model is made in Austria and dedicated Black Crows skins are available as an option. Inspiration/origin: All-purpose touring ski, comfortable and accessible.
Main use: Ski touring Snow behavior: light, docile, efficient, short radius for easy handling and direct grip.
Comparison with other resort blackcrows models: more accessible. It’s a ski with a noticeably more sporty flex, very lively, but which remains very accessible and easy-going. The goal of lightness does not impose constraints on downhill behavior which must be comfortable and exemplary, and its new core makes it a powerful beast, gaining aggressiveness without losing popularity. Intermediate float: 85mm at the waist
Front rocker: pivot and lift Classic camber: balance between stability and maneuverability
Titanal reinforcement under the bindings: consolidation of the binding mount Intermediate flex along the entire length of the ski: performance and tolerance Titanal plate underfoot to adapt to new hybrid bindings Mounting point: -10 cm Drilling: diameter 4.1mm x L 9mm
Mounting point: Construction: Semi-cap and cap in the tip for weight saving, feeling of lightness and maneuverability ABS sidewalls except in the tip Core: paulownia / mixed carbon & glass fibers
