The sidecut holds at 115.0-68.0-97.0 mm through all four lengths, and the radius decides everything: 14.7 m at 162 cm, 17.8 m at 177 cm. No other KEO'S has a floor anywhere near it — the KS-CX turns from 9.5 m, the KS-UP from 12.1 m. This ski is drawn for a medium or long arc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a sandwich build over an NF wood core of bamboo and beech, laminated with an A7178 aluminum alloy sheet and OGASAKA's special F.R.P. OGASAKA has never published what fiber that F.R.P is. And the aluminum is not doing what you might assume: Power Platform Function, the marked technology that raises rigidity underfoot, is not on this ski. Its structure row carries two marks instead: Front Float System and Front Lead Function. OGASAKA also names SLIT TECH, credits it with grip, and never explains it; the account of slits in the metal at tip and tail comes from riders, not the factory. Its 1,044 g\/m — grams per meter of a single ski — is the heaviest g\/m of any OGASAKA piste ski.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a ski for an advanced carver on firm groomers whose natural turn is already a long one. It is not a short-radius tool, not a soft-snow ski, and not the cheap way into KEO'S. Be clear about what OGASAKA withholds, too: it publishes no camber or rocker profile, no flex index and no per-length weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the shelf here: a 177 cm carrying the new SRED plate, $1,860; the flat ski is $1,670. Nobody has publicly ridden that exact setup — SRED is new this season, and no test of it, or of the 177, has been published. The plate comes fitted; the binding is a separate purchase, which we mount and set to your boot sole while we settle the length with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"sizing-table\"\u003e\n\u003ccaption\u003eOGASAKA KS-XX\/BR Skis with SRED Plate Specifications\u003c\/caption\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePremium On-Piste Carving Skis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXX Collection \/ KEO'S\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKS-XX\/BR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSRED Plate Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlate Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 520 g including screws\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSandwich Construction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCore\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNF Wood Core with Bamboo Core\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA7178 \u0026amp; Special F.R.P\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMulti Arc Jointed Curve \/ Dynamic Tail\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e162 \/ 167 \/ 172 \/ 177 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSidecut\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e115.0-68.0-97.0 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRadius\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.7 \/ 15.7 \/ 16.7 \/ 17.8 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,044 g\/m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Accessory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDedicated Ski Band\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade In\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJapan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"OGASAKA","offers":[{"title":"Brown \/ 162 \/ SRED Plate","offer_id":51485928358183,"sku":"01427-162","price":1860.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ 167 \/ SRED Plate","offer_id":51485928390951,"sku":"01427-167","price":1860.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ 172 \/ SRED Plate","offer_id":51485928423719,"sku":"01427-172","price":1860.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ 177 \/ SRED Plate","offer_id":51485931077927,"sku":"01427-177","price":1860.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/KSXX_BR_167_SRED.jpg?v=1781182582"},{"product_id":"ogasaka-ks-cx-wt-skis-with-slr11gw-binding-2027","title":"Ogasaka KS-CX Skis with SLR11GW Binding 2027","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe OGASAKA KS-CX is a 66 mm piste carver drawn for the short turn: at 145 cm it comes around in 9.5 m, the tightest radius on OGASAKA's 2026-27 adult radius table. New this season, it opens the KEO'S line. PTO stocks the white KS-CX\/WT as a system ski at $1,000, Tyrolia's SLR11GW on a JOY SLR base; the flat ski is $820.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe shape is inherited: OGASAKA gives the KS-CX the same 119.0-66.0-104.0 mm sidecut as the KS-CV, on the lightweight core the KS-CV does not get. That core takes it to 788 g\/m — grams per meter of one ski — against 903 for the KS-CV on its plain core, and nothing in KEO'S is lighter. Around it sits special F.R.P in a sandwich build, with no aluminum: the KS-XX, KS-AP2 and KS-UP carry an A7178 sheet and this ski does not; OGASAKA picks metal per model. Metal is what quiets a carver as speed rises, so its absence is where the ceiling sits. OGASAKA marks it F.F.S — its name for a front rocker shape — and F.L.F, and names no flex, no camber, no wood species, no per-length weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOGASAKA says it supports the beginner and the skier who cannot power a ski, from low speed. It will not hold a long, fast line: even the 165 cm still turns at 12.5 m. At 66 mm it is the wrong ski for soft snow; a skier who wants one pair for the whole mountain belongs on the 81 mm UNITY line. The riding record is thin — two riders, two rides, one length each. The detailed one is a 70 kg tester on the 150: he praised how fast the tip engaged, found the ski short under him, said it chattered, and wanted a longer size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOGASAKA builds five lengths, 145 to 165 cm. This listing is the system ski, so the binding arrives mounted: we set the DIN to you, measure your boot sole against its 255-338 mm range, and help you settle on a length.

Around it go OGASAKA's special F.R.P and an A7178 aluminum alloy sheet, in a sandwich. The structure table gives it one mark, FLF: the A7178 is a laminate material, with no zone-specific stiffness claimed for it. Dynamic Tail is on the catalog's technology line here, and not on the U-PE's. The base carries the Center Wave grind, one of OGASAKA's four base finishes. Weight comes to 1,023 g\/m, per meter of one ski — the heaviest UNITY built. No camber or rocker profile is published for it, no flex index and no per-length weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePTO sells the U-XX bare at $1,670 and the U-PE bare at $1,170. That is $500 more for a narrower, heavier ski, and the paper case for the premium is thin. One tester enjoyed skiing it and still would not call the ride as luxurious as the ski looks and costs. At 77 mm it will not float deep powder. If you want a single ski for groomed runs and unpacked snow, the U-PE is the wider ski and the better tool for that, which is OGASAKA's own argument for the 81 mm waist.

For 2026-27 the outline is a redesign rather than a carryover: the outgoing generation measured 76.5 mm underfoot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThree UNITY skis are cut to one shape, 119.0-81.0-109.0 mm. Only this one gets an A7178 aluminum sheet, laminated with OGASAKA's special F.R.P over an ultra-lightweight NF wood core, in a sandwich build. The metal is a reinforcing layer inside the laminate, and it is why this is the heaviest of the three: OGASAKA quotes 958 g\/m, a per-meter figure for one ski rather than a finished weight. Tip rocker leads into camber underfoot with OGASAKA's Front Lead Function; the sidecut is a Multi Arc Jointed Curve. The length run starts at 153 cm and reaches 174 cm in 7 cm steps, where the U-PC and the U-PH both begin at 146.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOGASAKA's case for the extra width is a ski that carves a groomed run better and copes better where the snow has not been packed down, and that is the job it is drawn for: mixed days, long-radius cruising, open mountain. What it is not: a powder ski, because 81 mm is too narrow for that and E-TURN is OGASAKA's wide line. A third-party tester found its short turns ran a little loose; for that work OGASAKA points to its narrower, carve-first lines, among them KEO'S and TRIUN. It is also the wrong ski for anyone who wants an easy version of this shape. Its two siblings are drawn on this same outline with no metal at all, and OGASAKA's catalog points skiers with less power at the U-PC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a bare ski: add a binding and we will mount it, set it to your boot, and settle the length with you first.

PTO ordered that last one only — $1,510, binding included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts radius climbs from 12.1 m at the 155 to 14.7 m at the 170 — roughly a meter longer at every size than the KS-AP2 alongside it. The build is a sandwich: sheets of special F.R.P and A7178 aluminum alloy, laminated onto the top and bottom of an NF wood core. The metal is a laminate in the stack, not OGASAKA's Power Platform Function; that mark is absent from this ski's structure row, and the stiff-underfoot behavior it denotes is not claimed here. OGASAKA publishes where the sheet sits and nothing about how far it runs. For profile it publishes one mark: Front Float System, a front rocker shape. No camber profile, no flex index. Weight is 1,012 g\/m, grams per meter of a single ski.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOGASAKA aims the ski at prize tests; three of the Japanese on-snow reports land on that same exam use case. A national demonstrator called its edge grip strong on hard pack. In moguls, the two demonstrators a Japanese magazine named each rated it highly — its words, not ours. Wrong ski for short-turn specialists: the KS-AP2 is drawn tighter at the same $1,250 bare-ski price, and the metal-free KS-CX and KS-CV tighter again. Wrong ski, too, for competition-level long turns, and at 69 mm for powder. Two of the four score-cards written on the exact build PTO stocks put its grip below the plate versions'. PTO stocks no plate build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOGASAKA catalogs it in 155, 160, 165 and 170 cm, and length here is a turn-shape decision.

Length sets the arc — 11.1 m at 155 cm, 11.8 at 160, 12.6 at 165 and 13.5 m at 170 cm — and nothing in that range wants to run long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sidecut carries over; OGASAKA says it revised the build materials and the balance of flex and torsion behind it, and now prints 970 g\/m, grams per meter of a single ski. The stack is a sandwich. An NF wood core carries special F.R.P, with a sheet of A7178, an aluminum alloy, in the laminate above the core. OGASAKA badges a separate technology called Power Platform Function, in which an alloy sheet raises rigidity in one area, and the TC-S does not wear that badge: its structure row shows Front Float System and Front Lead Function. No stiffened zone is claimed for this ski. The metal is what marks it apart from the TC-S.LIGHT and the TC-JS, both built without any. Past that, OGASAKA prints no camber or rocker profile and no flex index, and it names SLIT TECH at tip and tail without ever saying what a slit is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits an advanced skier who can reach the nose at turn entry and stay there. It gives a back-seat skier nothing. It has no long turn in it — that is the TC-L, drawn at 23.8-25.5 m — and at 65 mm, with no float claim in any OGASAKA document, it has no business off the groomed run. Gates belong to the TRIUN SL. If the ski simply feels like too much, OGASAKA names its own answer in print: the TC-S.LIGHT.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePTO carries three versions.

It is not a shrunken TC-S. No on-snow test of it has been published in any language, so what follows is read off OGASAKA's spec, not a ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOGASAKA's own English needs unpacking. Its product page calls this \"a model designed for slalom skiing in junior technical competitions,\" and a parent reads slalom as gate racing. The Japanese behind it is 小回り, short turns, inside 技術選 — the judged format where turn quality is scored rather than timed. OGASAKA prints no FIS or SAJ marking on the TC-JS; it prints one on the TC-JL. An event that demands a marked ski demands a different one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe layup is plain: an NF wood core wrapped in special F.R.P, sandwich-built in Japan, with no A7178 and no metal of any kind. The aluminum sheet belongs to the TC-JL and the adult TC-S, and the weights follow — 793 g\/m here against 848 and 970. One structure mark is printed on this row: F.L.F, Front Lead Function, and no other. Sidecut holds at 114.0-64.0-97.0 mm at every length while the radius climbs from 8.9 m to 11.3 m: length here is a turn-shape decision as much as a size one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis ski assumes a junior already on edge, skiing parallel, working the shape of the arc with a coach. It is not a first pair. OGASAKA builds the J-1 for that child, at $390 with a binding. Long, GS-shaped turns belong to the TC-JL. At 64 mm, soft snow is out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePTO sells it complete at $825 with the Tyrolia TX10 GW and RACE PLATE WCR TEAM. Two fit gates before ordering: the boot sole must land inside the binding's 231-332 mm window, and the release value is set by a technician from the child's own measurements, then checked on a test device. We size it on the child with the coach.

OGASAKA's own rating is Powder 4, Piste 7 — two independent ratings rather than two halves of a split, and on the E-TURN ladder this is the first model where the piste number overtakes the powder one.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe build is a sandwich over an NF wood core in OGASAKA's ultra-lightweight grade, with special F.R.P. There is no aluminum in it. OGASAKA's generic definition of the sandwich structure mentions an A7178 sheet, but that describes what the structure type may contain across the range; this ski's component field lists wood and F.R.P. Its structure row carries one mark, FLF (Front Lead Function) — no Front Float System, and no Power Platform Function, the badge for OGASAKA's aluminum-in-the-core mechanism. TOP ROCKER is printed beside the profile drawing; no camber figure, no flex index and no per-length weight are published.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eFour lengths run 165 to 186 cm on one 133.0-98.0-121.0 mm body, and the radius stretches from 14.4 m to 19.5 m. OGASAKA lists the ski at 933 g\/m — a per-meter figure for one ski, not a pair weight — deliberately light for this width, because there is no metal to carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits a genuinely mixed season — soft snow, trees, sidecountry laps, then the groomers home. It is the wrong ski for a powder-first skier; OGASAKA builds the ET-10.8 and the ET-11.5 for that. It is the wrong ski for someone who never leaves the piste: the same $1,085 buys the ET-8.5, built the same way and scored Piste 8. Short-radius carvers should look at the KS-CX or the TC-S; the shortest ET-9.8 turns at 14.4 m.

OGASAKA is unusually blunt about where it belongs: its published terrain score is Powder 3, Ski slope 8, under the label \"For use on the slopes.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a sandwich build, made in Japan, on an NF wood core of the ultra-lightweight grade, with special F.R.P. There is no metal in it. OGASAKA's construction diagram gives that reinforcement layer as special F.R.P plus an aluminum sheet, or special F.R.P alone, and this ski takes the second reading, and the U-PE takes the first. And note what OGASAKA leaves out: it does not say what fiber the F.R.P uses. The weight follows the subtraction — 851 g\/m, against 933 for the ET-9.8 and 958 for the U-PE, a ski 4 mm narrower than this one. One structure mark sits on the row, FLF (Front Lead Function); no E-TURN carries the Front Float System. The published profile is a single phrase: TOP ROCKER.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFour lengths run 158 to 182 cm, with the radius stretching 12.3 m to 17.3 m — the shortest arcs in the line. This is a ski for the intermediate-to-advanced piste skier whose soft snow is the powder beside the trail, the trees, the terrain off the side. It is the wrong ski for deep snow: OGASAKA's own score is Powder 3 out of 10, and it builds four wider E-TURNs above this one. It is the wrong ski for anyone chasing hard-snow grip at speed, because there is no aluminum in it and the U-PE, 4 mm narrower, carries an A7178 sheet. Short-radius carvers should be on a carving ski.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ET-8.5 ships flat, so it needs a binding and a mount, and the brake has to clear 85 mm. We do both.
