  Custom X5: A Brand New Ski for 2004.

The 2004 D3 Custom X5 with exclusive E-CORE technology

The Custom X5 is lighter, faster and more responsive than ever.

After 18 grueling months of research and development Denny Kidder and his R&D team bring you the lightest, fastest ski we have ever produced. Crafted in the same shape as the World Champion Custom X, the new X5 delivers a whole new level of performance. The X5 is produced with new E-CORE technology. This “ E” core significantly reduces the weight of the ski, improving the carbon- fibers ability to rebound from a load situation. This creates a faster ski out of the turns as well as across the course. In high school physics we learned a lighter weight mass will accelerate faster and decelerate quicker than a heavier mass. The lighter weight ski moves away from you easier and comes back faster between you and the boat. . With increased torsional flex the X5 has the ability to handle incredible angle through the wakes with less skier effort. This new ski is FAST!!

Each 2004 Custom X and X5 is cataloged and documented at our manufacturing facility. We check each ski in four different zones for longitudinal flex and rocker. Torsional flex is also documented. Each ski has a born on date and a serial number for absolute identification. This attention to detail and commitment to consistency is your guarantee that each ski we produce will out perform any other ski available. Ride one and become a believer!!

2004 Custom X5:

  • Aerospace E-Core
    Faster rebound. Reduced swing weight
  • HTC (high torsion carbon) lay-up
    Improves speed across and holding power into the edge change.
  • New rocker pattern
    Tightens the radius of the turn on both sides of the course.
  • Extreme shortline flex to rocker ratio
    For skiing with explosive power and a smooth ride throughout the course. The X5 combines longitudinal and torsional strength/flexibility with rocker compliance.
  • Repositioned flat spot
    Helps the ski transition into the turn and exit the turn without hesitation.
  • Machine screw inserts
    Inserts for the bindings (KD, HO, Connelly or Fogman) and the fin block.
  • Sizes available
    65.5” / 66.5” / 67.5” / 68.5”

 Attention All WOMEN, We Have Bindings for You!

Terry Winter has spent a lot of time up at the factory this winter designing a binding for women. No longer do we have to try to ski in sloppy bindings that only fit men. These bindings will be ideal for juniors as well. The bindings will be similar to the current rubber bindings we have only they are totally sized down.

Be ready for some bettered skiing scores, as we will now have increased ski control, comfort, and reaction.

 
 

 Fogman Inserts

We now offer our skis with an adaptor plate and insert pattern for Fogman bindings. The new system allows for an easy application of the Fogmans with precise placement. The bindings will now be mounted perfectly for a safer, better performing system.
