The Sixam 2 is a wider and more stable version of the World Record holding Sixam 1. The additional width of the Sixam 2 makes it especially stable from the apex to the finish of the turn. Skier error at the ball is more easily forgiven than on most other skis. It is not the fastest or hardest turning ski on the market but carries out well and creates substantial angle.  For a world class skier with perfect technique this ski may not be aggressive or fast enough but for a 34 mph Regional or National level skier the Sixam 2 is very user friendly and offers great performance.

"I got so wide that I did not know what to do."  Mike Erb

"It carries out fantastic and finishes smoothly. My favorite of the test."  Stephanie Stange

"Not as fast as I would like." Tyler Scott
