Armada x Oyuki ARV 116 JJ UL Skis 2026

The Armada x Oyuki ARV 116 JJ UL is a 175 cm freeride ski built around a 116 mm waist, designed to balance ultralight touring performance with the power needed for demanding descents. At the heart of the construction is Armada's Caruba core, described as their lightest wood species, which minimizes swing weight without sacrificing dampness or responsiveness. A directional fiberglass laminate matrix governs the flex pattern and torsional rigidity, producing a lively yet forgiving ride with quick response. The flex profile is graduated, measuring 3 at the tip, 5 at the waist, and 4 at the tail. AR75 sidewall construction covers 75 percent of the ski's length, improving edge pressure underfoot, while cap construction in the tip and tail smooths turn initiation and reduces hookiness. Freestyle rocker in the tips and tails combines with positive camber underfoot for versatility across variable snow conditions. Lightweight 1.7 heat-treated edges and an S7 base with a speed additive round out the build. The topsheet features limited edition artwork by Mike Shankster, created in collaboration with Niseko-based brand Oyuki.
