Zag Ubac 95 review 2018

PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments

The UBAC 95 scored high for its lightness and great accessibility. It's really very easy to steer and handle, and great fun for its rider. With 1413 grams underfoot (ski only), it's easy to take uphill and is a joy to ride down. However, it lacks the stiffness and character needed for the "all mountain" segment. Its behavior on groomed trails and through choppy snow falls a little short due to the ski tip's flex. Recommended for all riders looking for a versatile ski that enjoys ski touring.

Measured weight of the model reviewed (ski only) by PROSKILAB: 1413 g
