Dynastar Speed Zone 12 Ti review 2020
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
The Speed Zone 12 Ti from Dynastar offers good overall performance and excellent homogeneity.
The performance is indeed there. The ski makes it possible to go fast, even very fast. The level of performance was considered excellent and the ski's behaviour is reassuring. The Speed Zone 12 Ti "goes well into curves" even if it is not as incisive as other skis. The supports are solid and curve handling is accurate. The reviewers particularly liked the ski's ability to "loop", that is to say to close the curves.
Another very popular quality is the terrain damping, thanks to a very progressive nose and flex. It is a comfortable ski that allows you to ski quickly without getting shaken.
Very comfortable and intuitive in "big curves", it requires commitment from the skier to shorten the radii. While the end-of-curve handling is excellent, the reviewers lamented the lack of rebound, which is a little detrimental to the liveliness of the ski.
Easy, fluid and effective, the Speed Zone 12 Ti from Dynastar will satisfy a large number of skiers from good to expert levels.

- Ski that loves speed and large turns, stability

Review: Cons
- Tends to remain in its curve radius (monoradius)
- Unplayful, little rebound at the end of curves
- Requires speed

Manufacturer's remarks
The flagship of the series, the SPEED ZONE 12 Ti has all the benefits in terms of comfort and control of Powerdrive technology, developed by our racing department. It allows you to ride at very high intensity into curves, whether in wide or tight, and to get maximum angles with a very refined snow touch, without giving you the feeling of being stuck on a rail. Its new Active Air Core (17% lighter) makes it agile and alert in all circumstances.
