2013 4FRNT Hoji Skis & 4FRNT Adrenalin AT Ski Binding
Eric Hjorleifson (he really like when you pronounce the “j” in Eric’s last name) spends a lot of time on his skis, and over the past few years he has spent just as much time developing and testing the 4FRNT EHP and 4FRNT Renegade. The 4FRNT Hoji is a direct result of how well the Renegade turned out and the direction Eric’s skiing has gone. That direction is a combination of uphill and downhill, and that is where the Hoji shines. With the same Reflect rocker and sidecut technology as the Renegade, built onto a slightly narrower chasis, the Hoji is the ultimate touring tool that sacrifices nothing on the way down.
Reflect Technology
Dreamed up By Eric Hjorleifson and currently only being used on the 4FRNT Renegade, Reflect Technology has changed the way rocker and sidecut work together. With Reflect Technology the rocker radius is matched with the sidecut radius for precise, predictable carving in all conditions. It eliminates tip hook and allows you to engage the entire length of the edge while providing float and pivotability. As far as big skis go, it’s the smoothest of smooth.
Hoji Dimensions
-195cm: 132/112/122mm (30m), 5.4 lbs (2.4 kg)
-187cm: 130/112/121mm, (30m), 4.9 lbs (2.2 kg)
-179cm: 128/112/120mm, (30m), 4.6 lbs (2.1 kg)
4FRNT Adrenalin AT Ski Binding
To complement the Hoji Skis, 4FRNT is introducing its new touring binding, the 4FRNT Adrenalin AT Ski Binding. Competing with the other 16 DIN tour bindings that downhill ski companies are putting out for next year, the Adrenaline is compatible with both touring and alpine boots, has a low and wide stance, and has the ability to switch to skiing mode without having to get out of the binding. Combine the Hoji with the Adrenaline for unparalleled uphill performance without compromising the downhill confidence you need to go big, ‘cause after-all, that’s why you hiked all the way out there.
Throw in the new, well-named 4FRNT Evo Pre-cut Skins or Tour square skins and the new 4FRNT Slog Adjustable Ski Poles for the full AT setup. The Evo Pre-cut Skins are custom cut for the Hoji and Renegade, so you can take your 4FRNT Hoji’s out and beyond just like Eric.
