The 2026 Armada Kimbo 95 is a freestyle ski designed in collaboration with Armada Athlete Kim Boberg, blending playful flexibility with carving precision. Its unique construction offers a responsive ride that excels both in the park and across a variety of mountain terrain.

Why we like it:

The Kimbo 95 stands out for its ability to deliver buttery smooth turns and agile maneuverability without sacrificing edge hold, making it a versatile choice for creative freestyle skiers trying to blur as many lines as possible.

Who it's for:

This ski is ideal for intermediate to advanced skiers who enjoy a freestyle approach to the mountain, seeking a ski that performs well in the park and remains responsive on groomed runs.

Highlights:

Featuring a 100% Poplar Core, the Kimbo 95 offers a balance of stability and pop, ensuring a lively yet predictable ride. The AR Freestyle Rocker combines rockered tips and tails with positive camber underfoot, facilitating smooth turn initiation and responsive rebound. Its AR75 Sidewall construction enhances durability while maintaining a lightweight feel. The ski's flex profile is rated at 4 in the tip, 5 underfoot, and 6 in the tail, and provides a softer nose for easy presses and a slightly stiffer tail for stable landings. With a 15-meter turn radius in the 182 cm length, the Kimbo 95 is quick edge-to-edge and excels in short to medium-radius turns. Durability is ensured with the 2.5 Impact Edge and S7 Base, designed for speed and resilience.

Things to consider:

While the Kimbo 95 offers excellent versatility, its softer flex may not provide the dampness and edge grip desired for high-speed stability in variable conditions. If you are seeking a pure all-mountain ski without the freestyle that the Kimbo offers, there are higher performers when it comes to carving performance, edge grip, and stability.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Available in only a 182 cm length, the Kimbo 95 is reserved for a select style and size of skier.
