The Armada Reliance 102 Ti 21/22 is a mid-fat ski built for skiers who want a balance of stability on groomed runs and enough float in softer snow. With a 102 mm waist at 180 cm, it slots between narrower carving skis and wider powder boards, making it a versatile choice for varied terrain.
At 180 cm, the Reliance 102 Ti offers a turn radius of 18 m, so you get a responsive feel through medium-sized turns without feeling twitchy at speed. The 134/102/122 sidecut profile brings additional versatility—wider at the tip for added float when things get soft, a narrower center to shift edges easily, and a generous tail for clean exits. Weighing in at around 1.95 kg per ski, it strikes a good balance between solidity underfoot and easy handling, helping you spend less energy and more time on the slopes.
Turn radius is simply the theoretical circle the ski will carve when held on edge—18 m puts you in the medium-radius category, well-suited to cruising longer arcs rather than tight quick turns. Sidecut dimensions (tip-waist-tail) describe the hourglass shape of the ski: a wider tip helps the ski float in deeper snow, a slimmer waist makes edge-to-edge transitions quicker, and a slightly narrower tail helps release turns smoothly. Together, these numbers give you a sense of how the ski will behave under different conditions.
