Zai for Bentley: Handmade Skis, Poles and Ski Bag

Bentley announced the launch of "one-of-a-kind" zai for Bentley Supersport skis, handmade in Switzerland with collaboration from the Styling Studio in Crewe, the home of Bentley Motors.

The handmade skis, poles and ski bag have been designed exclusively for Bentley, with design input from Bentley's own team. Most excitingly, unique and patented technology confirms the product range is truly "one-of-a-kind." New materials deployed in the skis will be a world first.

The skis will be a limited edition of 250 numbered pairs. Zaiira is a new composite material that contains carbon fibres specially developed by zai in co-operation with a partner. Zaiira is used on the skis' top layer in combination with natural rubber in the central part as well as carbon fabric in composition with chrome steel in the torsion part. Additionally, long carbon fibre Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites (LFRTP) are being used in the zai for Bentley Supersport skis.

The ski poles also demonstrate a new technology, ExoGrid, used solely for the first time in the Bentley skis. A unique combination of the materials titan and carbon fabric reduces weight and guarantees high stability, and is currently used for golf shafts. The ski bag is also custom-designed and custom-manufactured by zai.

The skis will be available to order in January 2010 and retailed via zai distributors.
