The Firebird WRC is the longest radius ski in the Firebird line. Cutting provides full power and stability in long giant slalom turns at high speed. The C-Spine and C-Armor technologies together with a double Titanal Sandwich Compound Sidewall construction provide a controlled ski with stability and power. The ski comes with powerful Marker XCELL 14 bindings.

Carbon Armor
Carbon Armor is a layer of bidirectional carbon fiber placed over the center of the ski, directly under the rail. This carbon fiber layer provides extra torsional rigidity and power to the center of the ski.
Carbon Armor works in the early to mid-turn when the need for control and stability is greatest. The construction counteracts micro-vibrations during binding, provides increased edge grip and an increased sense of stability and control.
When Carbon Armor provides the greatest effect, it gives the ski high performance, maximum power and aggressive character.
Carbon Spine Core
The Carbon Spine Core consists of two bi-directional layers of carbon fiber running from the tip to the back end, vertically positioned between the wood cores of ash and poplar.
The technology is activated during the middle and end phases of the turn, when reaction and agility are needed the most. In this phase, the structure releases the energy and recovers the power for transition to the next turn.
When the Spine Core is at its most effective, the ski provides increased stability, increased precision, maximum recovery and responsiveness.

XCELL 14.0
This binding features the updated 3-point mounting pattern for the toe section. Combined with two absorbers, the Xcomp 14 delivers a very strong power transfer yet forgiving performance. The improved cushioning technology in Xcomp eliminates all fast, hard impacts and keeps the boot perfectly centered.

– Din/ISO Range: 4.0 – 14.0
– Type of sole: FDT Race Plate PRO
- Recommended weight: <120 kg
– Height above ski w/o: 18 mm
- Toe System: TPX
– Step-in-heel: TCX
– Heel adjustment: 20mm
- Weight: 970 grams
AFD Gliding Plate Race
The binding is equipped with an AFD plate that provides precise release regardless of dirt, snow and ice. Individual adaptation for the area of use is recommended for optimal functionality.
X-Comp Toe
Xcell piston technology with effective shock absorption and reduced hardness gives the ski a more natural and harmonious flex, as well as a more even and forgiving performance. The combination of Xcell cushioning technology with modifications in stiffness and shock absorption provides the toe section with racing performance combining the best of proven and new technology.
Twin Cam X Heel
The development of the Twincam has resulted in higher elasticity during release and an optimized performance curve. The construction has an improved connection between boot and ski for a longer period, even in extremely steep terrain, which ensures safe riding right up to release. It also provides improved power transfer with wider connection of the heel rail (43mm).
Grip walk
The binding is prepared for GripWalk soles. The material of the soles has been developed with a co-polymer and it has been given a rocker profile. The convex shape combined with ribbed pattern provides walking comfort and improved grip. Integrated panels of hard rubber provide optimal power transfer and precise release from the binding.
