求教了一下古大师:
Turn Radius
A ski’s sidecut forms an arc. The radius of the imaginary circle formed by completing that arc is referred to as a ski’s turn radius. A deeper side cut means a smaller turn radius, which allows for tighter turns.
Though a ski’s three width dimensions are basically consistent in varying length options, the length of the ski affects this arc. A longer ski creates a slightly longer turn radius. Therefore, manufacturers list a ski model’s turn radius at a particular length—such as 17 meters at a 180cm ski length.
Of course, a skier can make different types of turns with any ski, but turn radius suggests the natural turning tendency of the ski on “auto-pilot,” so to speak. |
