PRODUCT DETAILS
The Hagan Ultra 65 – with 3D tapering rib technology.
A high precision racing machine.
The Ultra 65 is a proven 700 gram 100% race ski with a super edge grip for consistent carving. HAGAN's proprietary micro-ABS sidewalls mean superior durability, dampening, and vibration filtering for superior downhill performance. No other race ski has it.
New 3D tapering rib technology simultaneously provides more progressive flex, strengthens and stiffens the ski, and saves weight.
Hagan skis set the standard not just in performance, but for value. The made-in-Austria Ultra 65 outperforms skis costing much, much more. Hagan believes performance is measured on the mountain, not on the price tag.
The previous generation X-Race was one of the best race skis available anywhere — and was without a doubt the best value. So how did they make it better? They improved downhill performance and durability by adding micro ABS sidewalls and tweaking the rocker, length, and sidecut for better edge hold. They did that without adding any weight. They topped the improvements off by lowering the price.
The Hagan race team is an integral part of their product testing and development. Subjecting their test products to their tough use shows us how to reduce every last unnecessary gram while not losing focus on durability, safety, and performance.
Over the last several years Hagan pushed the weight of their race ski to its lowest practical limit. They don’t sacrifice reliability, durability, and downhill performance to participate in the low weight at all costs madness. Still, please note: The Ultra 65 is the only Hagan ski NOT covered by warranty. While they don't go to extremes, all race skis sacrifice some durability to achieve lower weights. They DO break. Not often, but they do. If you are interested in breakage insurance or low-cost ski replacement, contact me.
The race team and their development team are confident of this — Hagan has raised the high-performance race ski bar again.The Ultra 65 is the result of years of tireless development work. Improvements over the previous and very popular X-Race include a new shape and ABS sidewalls that provide sensational power transmission and control — at the same just over 700g weight. The rocker was shortened to 200mm and the sidecut was tweaked to improve stability and tracking at higher speeds. Molded Y-shaped tip notches make skin attachment easier and faster. The wood core and carbon-fiber stringers are visible through the HAGAN graphics.
The redesigned Ultra 65 improves on the stable, reliable performance for which the X-Race was renowned. The Diamond Edge Cap reinforced by the micro ABS sidewalls delivers durability and exceptional descending. The Ultra 65 rides smoothly and confidently at high speeds and reacts quickly to edge pressure at all speeds.
The Ultra 65 isn't just for racers. It is great for fitness and recreational skiers who prefer moving light and fast. While the Ultra 65 is amongst the lightest race skis in the world, it is also one of the most durable. Still, as previously noted: The Ultra 65 is the only Hagan ski NOT covered by warranty. Race skis sacrifice some durability to achieve lower weights. They DO break. Not often, but they do. If you are interested in breakage insurance or low-cost ski replacement, contact me.
The Hagan Ultra 65 is one of only two race skis, and the lightest, with ABS sidewalls and is the only race ski with mid-foot micro-height sidewalls.
Why ABS sidewalls? Two reasons: 1. Improved durability. 2. Better downhill performance, particularly on hard snow.
The Ultra 65 is also the only ski mountaineering race ski available in a 151cm length, which is perfect for smaller and lighter skiers. The 151cm length is lighter (640 grams!) and more maneuverable while providing plenty of float and control.
