Quote from their website: "Durable and low maintenance, with a speed additive for quickness."

This is in reference to their S7 base which is very difficult to find what type it is. I assume it is an extruded base considering it's on all their strictly park skis while the other skis such as invictus have the "comp series base (probably sintered)"; someone please confirm. Also what "speed additive" are they referring to? Or does this just mean they pre-waxed it? Or is this marketing mumbo jumbo?

I know like 0 about bases but just btw as far as I know all skis come with factory wax. Also if I remember correctly, they used a race base which I guess is quicker than a regular park base (I really don’t know much but I wanted the ARV a while ago but went with the Line Tom Wallisch Pro’s. I just remember seeing a couple of videos about their bases)

Don't quote me but i think they're sintered bases and the"speed additive" is just marketing bullshit. The Edollo has a race base on it though. I also have little knowledge on bases

that;s interesting... ARVs used to have their 50/50 base, which they described as a mix between the s7 and the race base. no idea what quality etc the s7 is though. ive always been extremely happy with my armadas' bases tho
