Power. Precision. Dynamism.
The skis in the High Performance category are not only among our testers' favourites. Interest in these technically sophisticated skis has remained unbroken for years. They combine everything that sporty skiers expect from a high-end carver: uncompromising stability, maximum precision and pure dynamics.
It's the combination that makes the difference: they are the perfect mix of racing skis and sporty piste skis. Compared to pure racing skis, they are slightly easier to control and less aggressive, without compromising on sportiness. With perfect edge grip, smooth running and a sporty, dynamic character, they guarantee an exceptional skiing experience – from clean carving turns to high-speed descents.
Their playgrounds include groomed slopes and race tracks. Steering them safely down to the valley requires stamina, technique and a certain amount of athleticism – these top performers are not suitable for beginners.
The World Ski Test 2025/26 took place for the third time this year in the sporty ski resort of Heiligenblut on the Großglockner in the Hohe Tauern National Park region. The test conditions at the end of March were perfect – and the results speak for themselves: one model – the "Atomic" – came out on top and was rated "excellent". The strong competition kept up sensationally, with all models receiving a "very good" rating.
In a nutshell...
Sporty, smooth and precise – the Men High Performance models are the first choice for anyone looking for uncompromising carving performance. Perfect for dynamic turns, high speeds and long days on the slopes.
