Radian 106 | 2026

The 2026 Liberty Radian 106 serves as the cornerstone of Liberty’s directional lineup, offering precision-oriented performance that bridges the gap between burly metal-laden chargers and overly forgiving skis. The ski’s 19.5-meter radius favors longer turns, which proves ideal for off-piste conditions where big, calculated turns are your friend. This radius, combined with the 106 mm width and metal construction, creates a more merciful charger while maintaining the strength to handle variable terrain.

Liberty’s approach to metal placement sets the Radian apart from the brand’s other offerings. The brand concentrates Titanal underfoot while reducing metal density toward the tip and tail, creating reliable edge hold and vibration dampening. Meanwhile, the reduced metal in the extremities allows for easier turn initiation and release. 

The poplar and ash core with carbon stringers adds energy and rebound while balancing snap with stability. The Radian allows you to blast through variable conditions with power while remaining nimble enough for tight trees and bump runs. Complementing the ski’s core construction is its directional shape, enabling the skier to make powerful and decisive turns down the fall line. 

The Radian 106 works best for intermediate to advanced skiers seeking a serious off-piste tool. It’s particularly well suited for someone who’s looking to branch into freeride terrain, but doesn’t want a ski that will push them immediately into the backseat.
