Bentley Supersport Skis

Bentley Supersport Skis, along with matching poles and a ski bag, have been designed exclusively for Bentley by Zai, the Swiss manufacturer of ski products.

They incorporate a composite material called Zaiìra®, which has never before been used for skis. Zaiìra®, containing carbon fibres, is used in the top layer of the skis. Natural rubber is used in the central part, along with carbon fabric, chrome steel and long carbonfibre Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites (LFRTP).

The ski poles are also a special design as they use a combination of ‘titan’ and carbon fabric (currently used for golf shafts) to reduce weight and ensure high stability. The ski bag is also custom-designed by Zai for Bentley.

Handmade in Switzerland, the Zai for Bentley ski range will be limited to 250 units, with the skis priced at £5,900. See www.zaiforbentley.com

Yacht makers, Wally, launch new skis

Monagasque yacht makers Wally have continued with their collection of skis with their latest offerings. The latest collection of skis uses the same carbon fibre and aerodynamic technology they developed for their yachts.

The skis are made principally of carbon fibre making them thirty percent lighter than conventional skis and able to navigate both on piste and off piste with more precision. The Wally skis are available from exclusive sporting goods stores in certain ski resorts worldwide.
