With 78 mm underfoot you can cruise everywhere with the Tornado Ti’s. Perfect for the advanced skier, or expert who finds their more aggressive days drawing to an end.
As I absolutely adore the Tornado LAB I’d probably always plump for that, but this model will prove the more popular as they are easily some £50/$100 cheaper and the flex is much more forgiving than the LAB version with the slalom race plate.
If you loved the old X-Screams and ache for a pair of skis to replace them with then you can probably not find a better ski than the Tornado Ti.

Excellent until pushed, great value for money, check out the Tornado LAB if you are a strong expert to pro.
The manufacturer says this about the Salomon Tornado Ti Z14 Skis 2008:
Nothing stops X-Wing. All-mountain, high-performance (75mm), the expert one ski quiver favouring the piste.

I ordered a pair of Salomon Tornado TI Z14 Lab to use with my Salomon Xwave 9 size 31.5 and Salomon Impact 10 Size 31.5 boots.
Funny thing is that the LAB version of this ski does not allow you to mount the bindings to fit a 31.5 size boot to the lab plate.
The boot length of a 31 and 31.5 Salomon Xwave 9 is 355 mm and the Salomon Impact 10 in the same sizes is 357. The max boot length for the LAB plate on the Tornado Ski is 347 mm. (This goes for all Salomon skis with the LAB plate.
