The TREK specialized carbide runner is ideal for touring because it reduces arm fatigue and eliminates most of the darting, while maintaining good maneuverability in curves. This 6-inch carbide runner is aggressive in turns due to its deep and narrow profile. With its wider configuration, the TREK runner allows the snow to circulate well and help avois the infamous "packing" encountered in conditions where there is a lot of snow, or when there is stickier snow. All TREK runners offer you anti-darting performance, superior ease of handling compared to traditional double runners in addition to not getting packed.

While the original Trek offers you additional ski protection through its length, the short version of the Trek offers you the same recognized performance while being easier to install.
