Movement Fly 112
Overview and Intended Use
The Fly 112 is a playful, powder-focused freeride ski clearly aimed at backcountry and freestyle use in big conditions. With a 112 mm waist and a pronounced full twin rocker in tip and tail, it delivers strong flotation in deep, unconsolidated snow while encouraging aerial tricks and switch riding. The shape invites creativity—spins, presses and pops feel natural—while the rocker profile smooths over rough terrain and makes turn initiation forgiving. For riders who prioritize off-piste playfulness, this ski is an engaging option.
Construction and Specs Explained
Construction and specs pair tried-and-true materials with a contemporary shape. The poplar wood core offers lively rebound and impact absorption; 3-axis fiberglass adds torsional stiffness and durability; the sintered base improves speed and wear resistance. Dimensions (182 cm: 137-112-132 mm, radius 18.5 m; 190 cm: 139-112-134 mm, radius 19.5 m) point to serious float and a relatively long turning circle. Full twin rocker reduces effective edge contact for easier pivots, while full-length metal edges provide predictable tuning and edge maintenance.
On-Snow Performance
On snow the Fly 112 excels in deep powder and variable, chopped terrain. The wide waist and pronounced rocker produce instant float and a surfy, playful feel so you spend less energy keeping the tips up. The poplar core gives enough liveliness for strong pop and forgiving landings on jumps. On firm snow or ice it’s less of a precision carving tool: the rocker-forward profile and softer flex trade some edge bite and high-speed stability for maneuverability and dampened, playful behavior.
Comparisons and Who It's For
Compared to peers, the Fly 112 sits among 110–115 mm freeride/twin skis that emphasize play and flotation. Some competitors add metal laminates for more high-speed stability; this ski leans toward a livelier, more flexible construction. That makes it ideal for riders who favor creative line choice, switch tricks and backcountry freestyle, and less ideal for those whose priority is fast, locked-in carving on groomers. Choose 182 cm for more agility and freestyle feel, 190 cm for extra float and straight-line stability.
Buying Advice and Missing Weights
Buying tips: match binding placement and mounting position to your style—set back slightly for maximum float. Be mindful of binding selection and brake width to suit a 112 mm waist. Movement’s spec sheet does not list weight for the Fly 112; if ski weight is a deciding factor I can search retailer listings or datasheets for per-ski or per-pair figures. Overall, this ski is a strong option for powder-hungry freeriders who want a playful, surfy tool for big days and backcountry laps.
