These are the model’s numbers, not measurements. Carve radius comes from the sidecut, so it does not change with weight; edge hold and float do. Flex and camber are our estimates (see “What the model uses” below).

Our model, run with working assumptions about how each level skis (edge angle, speed, how much weight reaches the edge). Not measurements. The marked cell assumes an intermediate skier; compare with your own details to see your own level.

What reviewers say
2027 Ski Test Behind the Scenes: 2027 DPS Pisteworks 94 Skis
Bob St.Pierre · 12 May 2026
The DPS Pisteworks 94 returns with an updated graphic design showcasing its internal carbon build. Despite lacking metal, its combination of poplar and red oak core paired with triple carbon reinforcement provides exceptional vibration damping and carving power. The testers were pleasantly surprised by its remarkable hold on hardpack and noted that its accessible flex, taper, and rocker profile provide nimble handling in off-piste conditions like trees and bumps.
