The 2027 Armada AntiMatter 88 with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings is the snappy frontside member of the redesigned AntiMatter Series, with reach that extends past the groomers. Carbon-reinforced construction fires the ski edge to edge, and measured tip and tail rocker folds in enough soft-snow range to cover the whole mountain. We paired the Antimatter 88 with the Tyrolia Attack 14 GW because of the Attack’s light weight, reliability, and ease-of-use for all mountain and freeride skiers. Additionally, ample elastic travel and direct power transmission function to ensure these bindings cater perfectly to the needs of demanding freeriders.

Why we like it:

Few frontside skis with this much structure feel this alive. The carbon build flips from edge to edge on the smallest input and springs out of turns with real energy, so the ski carves like a dedicated frontside tool yet plays like something more adaptable.

Who it's for:

Advanced and expert skiers wanting a quick, carve-focused all-mountain ski are the audience. Trail regulars who still appreciate the occasional detour into off-trail terrain, softening afternoon snow, or a chopped-up field will get the most out of it.

Highlights:

Precision starts with the 88 mm waist, but the personality comes from carbon reinforcement, which fires the ski edge to edge on minimal input and springs it out of turns with more life than a heavier titanal layup. A Poplar core underpins that balanced, energetic feel. The All-Mtn Rocker profile tips the nose up for soft snow yet keeps the tail nearly flat so the edge releases cleanly. For the long haul, All Mountain Edges and a carbon-infused Comp Series Base cover durability and glide, and AR100 sidewalls anchor the edge hold the ski is built around. With a low stand height of just 17 millimeters, the 2027 Tyrolia Attack 14 offers an impressively close connection to the snow, delivering precise power transmission and a confident, locked-in feel. The FR Pro3 toe piece allows for a full 180 degrees of boot release, enhancing safety in a variety of fall scenarios, while the AFS (Anti-Friction Slider) ensures reliable re-centering and consistent release characteristics. Built to withstand hard use, the Attack 14 combines durability with performance, making it a go-to option for aggressive skiers who demand trust in their gear.

Things to consider:

Built narrow and carve-first, this ski belongs on the front side far more than off it. Anyone whose typical day is mostly soft snow should jump to a wider AntiMatter or an ARV.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Expect honest length, so stick with the frontside or all-mountain size you already ride.
