Nobody knows exactly. Not even sure of what they call graphene.
But those monsters are damn good!!!

Nobody knows exactly.

How dare you, sir? I demand answers!

For when you really need your skis to be atomically thin and electrically conductive.

So wtf is this substance and what does it do?

Never mind, should have googled. I thought it was just a ski thing.

I assume we are looking at a pair.of Head skis there? They marketed (still market?) skis with some supposedly micro-thin layer of a substance they called graphene. Was supposed to help w torsional rigidity or something, but I don't believe it ever made any sense b/c it was supposed to be a molecule thin layer or something. So while the substance was truly great in terms of strength to weight, it was hard to believe it actually did anything.

If that's a wax overlay/additive I would assume it's some version of graphite wax, electrostatic blah blah blah.

You'd never have to sharpen your edges, so that'd be nice.
