  Dynamic Performance Code

  The

• DPC measures the three performance parameters. STIFFNESS, PROGRESSION,
• REBOUND. Stiffness measures the amount of force needed to bend the boot
• forward. The higher the boot stiffness, the higher the transmission of
• power to the ski. Progression - progression represents the increase in
• stiffness as the boot is flexed forward from the neutral position to
• deepest flex point. The bigger progression, the stiffer the boot behaves
• through the forward flex allowing the most precise load transmission of
• the ski. Rebound - Rebound measures the rate at which the boot returns
• to the neutral upright position from the deepest flexing point. The
• higher the rate of rebound the faster the boot returns, enabling a
• quicker turn and ski edge change.
