2024 Radar Lyric Slalom Waterski Radar Online, Stores

The Radar Lyric is the little sister to its Graphite counterpart. It offers the softest, most forgiving construction for anyone from new slalom skiers to those with experience who want smoother open water rides. The only major difference in the Lyric model is a 2/10 of an inch step on the outside of the concave, offering width and greater stability so the ski can handle easily with less angle on cuts and sit flat with ease. The evolution of the Lyric adds greater control and comfort in your movements by maintaining a steeper concave entry, increased rocker taper, which enhances the size of the flat spot underfoot, and a greater radius through the nose and tail of the ski. To increase the consistency through turns and create tighter turning capabilities, the Lyric now has a reduced thickness in the sidewall, keeping the ski more connected in the turn, while the subtler edge angle and a sharper bevel through the nose that mellows through the tail keep the ski where you need it in the turn, but without the aggression of a Vapor design. The final aspect of this ski is the speed control, keeping the naturally fast Lyric staple that it has become known for, but with the updated sharper edge bevel now allowing the ski to decelerate better into the turns for greater control throughout the entire ski performance from the start to end of the turn. Finishing this off is its traditional core construction with a machined aero core lined with Paulownia wood stringers and 100% carbon laminating for a fast, stable, and forgiving mid-range ski.

Rocker

• Continuous Rocker – A continuous rockerline through the tip and tail of the ski provides a considerably more stable and forgiving feel in transitions from edge to edge in the build-up to the apex of your cut, while without a flat spot, there is no longer a pivot point allowing for reduced sticking points and allows for consistency and comfort both on your on and off-side
• Increased Flat Spot – Increased the sweet spot from your front foot to halfway down the back, providing a bigger sweet spot, a more predictable feel from your ski, providing greater drive through the ski, and increased hold and angle in turns.
• Increased Rocker Taper –  by increasing the taper of the rocker through the nose and tail of the ski, the flat spot through the centre of the ski is artificially increased, allowing you to have more feel and connection underfoot, allowing you and the ski to move better as a whole rather than two separate parts, ultimately allowing you to feel more consistent in your actions.

Flex

• Flex Rating(1=Soft, 10=Stiff) – 5/10

Core

• PU Core – The most well-known core in waterski’s, it is a durable, slightly softer material meaning you can ski for longer and not feel as tired while also getting more flex into turns and less rebound when crossing the wash.
• Paulownia Wood Stringers – A softening material added to the core, allowing the ski to flex more through your turns and giving a more fluid and forgiving feel to the way you ski

Laminates

• Carbon Laminates – A traditional carbon laminate layer that is tried and proven adds a snappy element to your ski, driving response through your cut and turns

Shape

• 2/10″ Wider than Vapor – This Vapor-inspired Lyric takes everything you could imagine from the Vapor and adds 2 tenths of an inch to the width to add that little bit of stability and give it greater float at slower speeds
• Sharper Hybrid Bevel – This sharp bevel from your foot forward allows for greater ability to lean into turns, creating more angle while providing greater control and deceleration into the turn and a tighter radius at the top of your cut. Blending to a softer bevel through the tail allows the ski to maintain balance, allowing you to maintain a turn angle through the whole turn and into the centreline.
• Wider For-body – an increase in width in the for-body of the ski creates stability and allows you to stand over the top of the ski with more confidence before heading into your turns.
  Increased Tail Taper – adding to the wider forbody of the ski, the increased taper gives you a more comprehensive platform through more of the sweet spot in the ski, creating stability and control underfoot, but also allows the ski to have more tip pressure, meaning less work to get the ski over and around into turns and smoother tighter turns.
• Reduced Tail Width – Allows the ski to drift in the tail mid-turn and stay planted all at once, giving you more angle in your turn.
• Reduced Sidewall Thickness – the reduced sidewall density helps keep the ski agile and your turns tighter.

Concave

• Full Edge-to-Edge Concave – a full concave throughout the whole width of the ski creates a fluid motion and greatly supports your cut, allowing you to focus on where you want to place the ski.
• Depth – Increased depth throughout the entire length of the ski creates more lift and support while also adding greater volume; this, in turn, translates to greater push on the outer bevels of the ski and an easier ability to pivot into your edges and a tighter turn radius
