The Motive 86 fulfils its contract while offering exceptional accessibility. It’s the ideal companion for beginners to off-piste and powder, giving them the confidence to make good progress.
Review: Pros
- Highly accessible
- An easy-to-use, enjoyable and intuitive ski that requires very little physical or technical effort
- At the same time, it’s precise and incisive
- Behaves well off-piste
- Easy to turn, handles well in powder
- Good floatation
Review: Cons
- Performance drops off at high speed on piste
- Less comfortable in difficult snow and crud due to the ski tip’s flexibility
