The IQ Max Slider The Slider is extremely innovative because it is a true system interface that provides all of the system benefits, tremendous versatility, power, adjustability, & flex but allows you to use any binding of any type. This year Blizzard introduced the new fully integrated IQ MAX. IQ Max is a new IQ system that functions in exactly the same way as the original IQ system but the rails are moved to a wider position on the ski. The original IQ rails are placed at 37mm wide and the new IQ Max rails are moved to 59mm wide. The results of this wider IQ platform are better leverage and more control over wider body skis. IQ Max simply makes wide skis feel narrow. IQ MAX is found on all Blizzard skis that are 80 mm or wider in the waist. The Slider works with any IQ Max ski (and only IQ Max). You can mount ANY binding from ANY company onto the Slider (Alpine, Tele, and AT). Therefore, you could have one pair of Blizzard Skis with three different Slider set ups depending on what you felt like doing that day. (this saves you from having to buy multiple pairs of skis) The Slider also addresses the standing position adjustment problem. The Slider itself has 7 cm worth of adjustability. Bindings are then mounted on the Slider like traditional bindings are mounted on a flat ski. Therefore you have the additional opportunity to mount the binding wherever you like on the Slider, this results in essentially limitless standing position options. Watch how it works. |
