PRESENTATION OF THE HAGAN ULTRA 89
The Hagan Ultra 89 is the latest addition to the brand’s Ultra range. It inherits the qualities that made its predecessors successful but stands out with greater width and increased versatility. This ski is specially designed to meet the expectations of demanding skiers who seek both lightness and performance, whether uphill or downhill.
With a weight of only 1120 grams for the 164cm version, the Hagan Ultra 89 proves to be an ideal choice for ski mountaineering outings, steep couloir routes, as well as long technical ascents. Its lightness is particularly appreciated during demanding climbs, while its technical features offer excellent grip and maneuverability during descents.
The ski is made with a Pawlonia core, reinforced with carbon stringers, which gives it both lightness and strength. Its front rocker measures 300mm and its rear rocker 120mm, which improves flotation in powder and facilitates turn initiation.
Hagan has made some changes to its range this season, but the Ultra line remains enduring with few changes, except for their race-oriented skis, the Ultras. The Hagan Ultra 65 has been redesigned with a new construction while maintaining its lightweight of 1400g in 161cm. Two new models appear in the range: the Hagan Ultra 77, which replaces the Ultra 76, and the Hagan Ultra 89, which weighs only 1120g in 162cm.
In conclusion, the Hagan Ultra 89 is an essential choice for demanding skiers looking for a versatile touring ski, combining lightness and performance both uphill and downhill. Its careful construction and technical features make it a reliable partner for ski mountaineering adventures and technical challenges in high mountains.
