Black Diamond Impulse 112 Ti vs Candide AK 121

How they compare

Both target freeride and powder terrain, while the Black Diamond Impulse 112 Ti leans more all mountain. They share a twin tip shape — symmetrical tips for skiing switch and park; playful and forgiving. The Black Diamond Impulse 112 Ti has a hybrid (rocker/camber) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Candide AK 121 uses flat_rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel).
