About Armada Antimatter 114 26/27 – Skis
The Armada Antimatter 114 is Max Palm's signature ski and the flagship of Armada's new Antimatter series. It is also the model that took the win at the 2026 Freeride World Tour, which says quite a lot about what it is built for. With 114 mm underfoot, generous rocker, and a powerful construction, it thrives most when the terrain gets steep, the snow deep, and the speed high.
Despite its clear focus on big mountain, the Antimatter 114 feels surprisingly playful. Armada has succeeded in combining the stability that many associate with metal-reinforced freeride skis with a lively and surfy feel. Therefore, the ski works just as well for big drops, fast lines, and powerful turns as it does for creative slashes and natural side hits.
At the core is poplar wood, which provides energy and response through the turn. At the same time, Armada uses its new Speedmetal construction with Titanal to create effective dampening, high torsional stiffness, and reliable edge grip when the surface gets uneven or the speed increases. The result is a ski that feels stable without becoming sluggish or difficult to maneuver.
The AR100 Sidewall also provides direct power transfer from boot to edge, while the durable S7 base and robust steel edges are built for many hard days on the mountain. Weighing approximately 2450 grams per ski at 187 cm, the Antimatter 114 prioritizes stability and confidence when conditions become demanding.
This is the ski for you if you are looking for a modern freeride model with power, precision, and an unexpectedly playful feel. Whether you are chasing powder, big mountain faces, or technical lines, the Armada Antimatter 114 gives you the tools to ride with full control.

FAQ
Who is the Armada Antimatter 114 for?
The Antimatter 114 is suitable for advanced and experienced skiers who want a stable freeride ski for deep snow, high speed, and big mountains.
How does the Antimatter 114 differ from the ARV 116 JJ UL?
The Antimatter 114 is significantly more dampened and stable at high speed. At the same time, it retains a playful feel, but with a clearer focus on big mountain and aggressive freeriding.
What does the Speedmetal construction do?
Speedmetal uses Titanal to increase dampening, torsional stiffness, and edge grip. The ski therefore feels calm and stable even in chopped up or uneven snow.
How does the ski perform in powder?
The wide 114 mm waist together with Freeride Rocker provides very good float. It also makes the ski easy to steer, even in deep snow.
Which mounting point should I choose?
Choose Max's Mount Line if you want a more playful and creative feel. If you prefer a more classic freeride ski, Factory Recommended is the best option.
Bindings & mounting
When you buy skis and bindings together from us, mounting and adjustment are included at no extra cost. For us to mount the bindings, you need to enter your weight and the boot sole length (BSL) of your ski boots when you order. You will find the boot sole length on the outside of the boot heel, given as three digits followed by mm, for example 315 mm. The bindings are mounted and adjusted before the skis are shipped. If you would rather mount the bindings yourself, we can deliver the skis unmounted.
Care & warranty
To keep your skis performing at their best, we recommend regular waxing and checking the steel edges. Wax the skis when needed and sharpen the edges when they start to get dull or damaged. Wipe the skis dry after use and store them in a dry place. Before longer storage, we recommend cleaning the bases and treating them with a protective layer of wax. The warranty against manufacturing defects applies according to the manufacturer's terms. Normal wear and tear and damage caused by use are not covered by the warranty.
Shipping & returns
We ship your skis directly from our warehouse in Hestra, Sweden. Normal delivery time is 1 to 3 business days for items in stock. You have 30-day returns on unused products. Please note that skis with mounted bindings cannot be returned. Unmounted skis can be returned in accordance with our return policy.
