Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new bi ski!
Building upon the success of the Bi-Unique, the Dynamique remains
“unique” while achieving a new level of “dynamic” versatility. The ski is
suitable for skiers of all ages and a wide range of ability levels.
The owner’s manual will help you understand your ski, provide general
guidelines for use and explain basic maintenance and repairs.
The manual is not intended to teach you how to ski, cover everything
you need to know about fitting or explain all maintenance and repairs.
For these, we recommend you seek out adaptive programs, professional
ski instructors and trained technicians to ensure the best and safest time
with your Dynamique.

Set Up
The Dynamique was designed and intended to be a versatile bi ski for
programs and individuals. It builds upon the Bi-Unique’s heritage and
accommodates an even wider range of skier abilities. Its features create
a ski that performs just as well for independent skiers as it does for
skiers with more restrictive abilities.
Versatile Sizing: Only one frame size is needed to fit skiers from 4’1”
to 6’3”.
Lightweight Aluminum Construction: The frame is made from
aircraft grade 6061-T6 aluminum that has been professionally
welded, heat treated and trued. The result is a 43lb ski complete
with footrest, handle, mechanism and skis.
Loading the Chair Lift: An unprecedented load height and one of a
kind, tensioned load system were designed with varying height
chairlifts in mind. Together they allow the skier to "sit down" on the
chair. This makes loading and unloading very easy.
By moving the load components into the upper frame, we reduced
unsprung weight, eliminated cables and better protected the
system from snow and ice.
Sitting on the Chair Lift: The Dynamique moves the shock out of the
way allowing the skier to sit all the way back against the chair and
the rear frame triangle naturally leans the skier back eliminating any
“teter” sensation. An oversized skid plate facilitates getting on and
off the chair.

A-Arm Design: While most bi skis use single pivot suspension, the
Dynamique uses A-arms like higher performance mono skis. They
improved the ride and allowed us to engineer where the frame is in
the load position. We "dowel test" skis to ensure the best ski
performance. The Dynamique dowel tests similar in both the ski and
up positions. This means it’s as easy to push in the lift line as it is to
ski.
Suspension: We use 3” of travel at the rear and approximately 1” at
the front to maintain a low center of gravity.
Footrest: The ankle angle is adjustable with quick release clamps.
The length is adjusted along the horizontal axis. Smaller
skiers maintain a low center of gravity and taller skiers do not have
to worry about the footrest bucketing out.
Seat Dump: Adjustable to 4 positions. The lowest position is flatter
than most bi skis on the market while the upper is similar to a Bi-
Unique glove seat.
Instructor Handles: The handle has been pushed back from the Bi-
Unique to ease hands on lessons and allow a reclined position for
the chair lift or skiing. The narrow handle takes note from the
traditional Bi-Unique. The wide handle is shaped like a mountain
bike handle bar. The swoopy ends provide an easy grip for picking
skiers off the ground. Both handles are adjustable in height.
Mega III Skis: The Mega IIIs employ the same proven shape, side cut
and camber as the Mega IIs but with a new and improved flex
pattern. A stiffer core throughout adds the stability and
performance needed for a suspension bi ski. They also make loading
and unloading the chair easier.
Retrofittable: The Dynamique uses the same articulating
mechanism and similar skis as the Bi-Unique.

Sizing Guide
The Dynamique is designed for skiers from approximately 4’1” to 6’3”
tall.
One frame can accommodate the Child, Junior, Adult and Adult XL
frame sizes of the Bi-Unique. This is achieved with three footrest
options and three seat size options. The options can be mixed and
matched to fit a wide range of skiers.
Your ski comes with one footrest, seat and handle. Extras are available
for purchase separately.
Child Footrest (4’1” – 5’1”)
The child footrest is designed for our smallest skiers. It attaches to the
main tubes of the upper frame with quick release clamps.
8
Junior Footrest (5’0” – 5’8”)
The junior footrest adjusts along the horizontal axis. This ensures a
uniformly low center of gravity for all skiers
Adult Footrest (5’7” – 6’3”+)
The only difference between the junior and adult footrest is the tube
length. Taller skiers can be accommodated by increasing the seat dump
angle and tucking their knees more.

Geometry
Ride Height
The Dynamique has 3” of suspension travel at the seat and
approximately 1” of suspension travel at the feet.
10
Seat Angle
The Dynamique’s seat angle is adjustable to four different positions in 3
degree increments. Weighted with a skier in the ski, the low position is
approximately 21 degrees. The highest position is approximately 33
degrees.
Load Height
The Dynamique was designed to load onto most chairlifts without
lifting. Weighted with a skier, the load height is approximately 18” at its
lowest.
