Armada Victa 87 Ti 2018 Ski Review

The Armada Victa 87 Ti is a stiff all mountain ski that isn’t for the faint hearted. It takes a bit of getting used to, but once you do, you get a whole lot of fun in return!

The Victa Ti has two layers of Titanal metal inlaid into the ski, giving you stability at any speed. This allows you to fully take advantage of the speed of Armada comp-series base and really charge down the mountain. With good edge hold and serious on piste power, this ski allows you to really attack the snow without fear.

With this Titanal inlay and carbon-kevlar struts, this ski is slightly heavier and stiffer than others in Armada’s Victa range, but boy does it have energy.

You really need to put a lot of power through the Armada Victa 87 Ti to get it to turn, but once you do, the power it gives you back is great.

This makes the ski feel very lively under foot and adds an extra boost of enthusiasm to your ride.

The Victa 87 Ti maintains this energy across terrains, from bumps and trees through to powder, where the all mountain rocker allows the ski just enough glide.  The Armada Victa 87 Ti is definitely a ski that will take you wherever you want to go, regardless of conditions. This ski will have you zipping down even the toughest of crud without a second thought.

You don’t have to be gentle with it either; this ski is built to be durable, with Armada’s trademark AR50 Sidewalls and a 2.2mm heat-treated Impact Edge. It’s a great partner for an all mountain adventure.

If you’re an intermediate skier after a light, gentle ski to guide you on the slopes, the Armada Victa 87 Ti is not the ski for you. But if you’re an advanced skier looking to charge in resort from dawn till dusk, the Victa 87 Ti is a fantastic choice.
