Apo Forward - Demo vs Apo Rise Up FS
Skis comparison — 2014-2015 season
Compare two models
How they compare
Both skis are designed for all mountain and freestyle / park riding. They share a twin tip shape — symmetrical tips for skiing switch and park; playful and forgiving. The Apo Forward - Demo has a flat_rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the Apo Rise Up FS uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). At $279 vs $449.95 MSRP, the Apo Rise Up FS is the more budget-friendly option.
