Majesty Havoc 110 Carbon — Review

The Majesty Havoc 110 Carbon is a wide, soft-snow freeride ski built to do two jobs: ride lifts on a powder day and earn its turns on a skin track. A full 110mm underfoot puts it firmly in the deep-snow and mixed-conditions category, but the whole point of this version is that it stays light thanks to a carbon-driven build. Where the Titanal-reinforced Havoc 110 Ti leans on metal for damping and mass, the Carbon trims grams so you can move it around and hike with it without hating your legs by the top.

The result is a ski that feels floaty and energetic rather than heavy and planted. It has strong flotation, comes up on top of soft snow quickly, and stays surprisingly quick for its width. It is still a directional ski at heart, so it wants to point down the fall line and charge, not spin and butter.

In its element — untracked or lightly tracked soft snow — the Havoc 110 Carbon shines. The generous width and semi-hybrid tip rocker give you easy planing, so you can stay centered instead of fighting the tips back to the surface. The ~22m progressive 4Radius sidecut means it links medium-to-long arcs naturally but can still be bent into shorter turns when the terrain tightens up.

Because it is light, it feels lively and quick edge-to-edge, and it rewards an active, energetic skier who likes to slash and redirect. It stays directional and charge-capable when you commit to a line, holding a clean arc through soft snow at speed. The trade-offs are the honest ones for a light, wide carbon ski: on firm hardpack the 110mm platform and carbon build are less precise and less damp than a metal ski, and in heavy, chopped-up snow at high speed the light chassis can get deflected where a heavier ski would plow through. Manage your speed in the rough and it stays composed.

This ski uses Majesty's 4x4 Design Concept. The core is paulownia with poplar inserts — paulownia keeps the weight low, while the poplar stringers add strength and a bit of dampening where it matters. Around that core is triax and quadrax fiberglass plus a full biax carbon layup, which is what gives the ski its light, snappy, energetic feel. Semi-cap sidewalls balance edge grip against weight, and textolite binding plates provide a solid, screw-holding mounting area.

The profile is a semi-hybrid tip rocker with camber underfoot: the rockered tip floats and initiates in soft snow, while the camber keeps the ski connected to the snow for grip and pop. At 176cm the sidecut is 140/110/125mm with a representative turn radius of about 22m, and the ski weighs roughly 1825g per ski at that length — genuinely light for a 110mm freeride ski, which is the whole reason to choose this version. Lengths run 166, 171, 176, 181, 186 and 191cm.

The Havoc 110 Carbon is for the freeride skier who splits time between the lift and the skin track and wants one wide ski that floats well but does not punish them on the way up. If you value flotation, quickness and low weight over maximum damping, this is the pick. If you mostly ride lifts, ski firmer snow, or charge hard through chop and want more damping and hold, look at the Majesty Havoc 110 Ti, its Titanal-reinforced sibling. Want the same character in a narrower, more all-round waist, the Majesty Havoc 100 Carbon is the closer everyday option.

Against the broader market it sits among metal-laminate freeride skis like the Nordica Enforcer 110 free and Blizzard Rustler 11, both damper and more resort-biased, and the K2 Mindbender 108Ti, another Titanal option — the Havoc trades some of their hardpack composure for lower weight and touring friendliness.

Pros

• Strong flotation and easy planing in soft snow.
• Genuinely light for a 110mm ski, so it earns turns and hikes well.
• Energetic, lively and quick edge-to-edge for its width.
• Directional and charge-capable when you commit to a line.

Cons

• Less precise and less damp than a metal ski on firm hardpack.
• Light build can get deflected in heavy chop at speed.
• Directional character, not a playful or switch-oriented ski.

Verdict: The Majesty Havoc 110 Carbon is a smart choice for the skier who wants a wide, floaty freeride ski that is light enough to tour on. It delivers strong flotation, lively energy and real quickness for its width, and it stays directional and confident when you point it downhill. Accept that a carbon-and-paulownia build gives up some damping and hardpack precision to a metal ski, and you get a versatile soft-snow tool that is just as happy on the skin track as on the lift.
