The ZAG Harfang 86 is an all-mountain frontside ski built to handle groomed runs and mixed terrain with ease. With an 86 mm waist, it offers a blend of edge grip and agility on packed snow, making it a solid choice for sport-minded skiers looking to explore varied mountain terrain.
Thanks to its 126 | 86 | 112 sidecut, the Harfang 86 balances quick turn initiation with stability at speed. The 17 m turn radius allows for smooth, controlled carves on piste without feeling too sluggish for shorter turns. At around 1.8 kg per ski (177 cm), it strikes a good compromise between nimbleness and dampness, so you can keep up a sporty rhythm all day. The flat mount binding setup gives you the freedom to choose a binding that suits your style and boots.
Turn radius refers to the theoretical size of the circle the ski would carve if held on edge throughout a turn—a smaller number means tighter turns, while a larger number gives more stability at higher speeds.
