Radar starts with the Vapor shape and adds 2\/10\" of width between the tunnel and edge bevel. This creates additional lift and support at slower speeds while retaining the active wet surface that gives the Vapor its characteristic ability to roll, grip and turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a ski that feels stable and predictable without becoming sluggish. It rolls naturally into the turn, maintains direction through the finish and carries speed across the wakes with a smooth, connected feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Graphite construction combines a polyurethane \u003cstrong\u003eAero Core\u003c\/strong\u003e with carbon fiber laminates to create a lightweight and efficient platform. Alongside the female-specific layup, this gives the Lyric Graphite a composed response that rewards commitment while requiring less effort to get the ski working.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe women's-specific construction is designed with a lighter and fractionally softer carbon layup than the equivalent Senate construction. At around \u003cstrong\u003e15% softer\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Lyric requires less input to roll into the turn and establish angle across the wakes, making the flex easier to exploit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the UK's largest Radar dealer, we spend a lot of time helping skiers choose equipment based on how they actually ski. The Lyric Graphite is particularly appealing if you're looking for a genuine performance slalom ski with a smooth, controlled character rather than an overly demanding platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt on the Senate Platform\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lyric sits within Radar's Senate Series, using a shape that has become particularly well regarded for its ability to combine performance with accessibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRadar starts with the Vapor shape and adds \u003cstrong\u003e2\/10\" of width between the tunnel and edge bevel\u003c\/strong\u003e. Rather than simply scaling the whole ski wider, this approach keeps the active wet surface closely related to the Vapor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis means the Lyric retains the ability to roll naturally onto edge and grip through the turn, while the additional surface area provides useful lift and support at slightly slower boat speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerformance Width\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe additional width is an important part of the Lyric's performance characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy adding surface area between the tunnel and bevel, Radar creates additional lift and support without compromising the ski's active wet surface. This helps the Lyric ride higher and remain efficient at slower speeds while retaining the roll, grip and drive needed for performance slalom skiing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a ski that can be moved easily into the turn while still providing the speed and direction needed to carry momentum across the course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWomen's Specific Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lyric Graphite uses a female-specific composite layup designed to make the ski's flex easier to exploit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt approximately \u003cstrong\u003e15% softer than its Senate counterpart\u003c\/strong\u003e, the lighter carbon layup requires less input to roll the ski into the turn and establish angle across the wakes. This allows the skier to load the ski naturally and benefit from its response without needing to overpower it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis construction works particularly well with the Senate-derived shape, creating a platform that combines support with smooth, progressive performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAero Core\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Graphite version uses Radar's \u003cstrong\u003epolyurethane Aero Core\u003c\/strong\u003e, designed to provide a forgiving and consistent response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Aero Core contributes to the Lyric Graphite's calm, composed character, helping it maintain a predictable feel through changing conditions while still providing the response required from a performance-oriented slalom ski.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100% Carbon Fiber\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100% carbon fiber\u003c\/strong\u003e construction provides consistent flex characteristics and predictable response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the Lyric Graphite, the carbon construction is combined with the lighter female-specific layup to create a ski that responds naturally to the skier's movements while maintaining its composure through the turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBenefit\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWomen's Specific Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLighter, fractionally softer composite construction designed to make the ski's flex easier to load and exploit.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e15% Softer Layup\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRequires less input to roll into the turn and establish angle across the wakes.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSenate Platform\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProven slalom shape combining speed, stability and performance at slightly slower boat speeds.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerformance Width\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdditional width between the tunnel and edge bevel provides lift and support without compromising the active wet surface.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAero Core\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolyurethane core construction providing a forgiving and consistent response.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100% Carbon Fiber\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProvides consistent flex characteristics and predictable response.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigned by Matt Rini\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePerformance-focused development combining control, efficiency and confidence.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich Lyric Graphite Size?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lyric Graphite is available in three sizes.
