Dynastar Speed 763 review

They say

Dynastar describes the Dynastar Speed 763 as a high-performance piste ski that marries power and precision. It features a hybrid PU and wood core with a V-shaped Titanal insert that’s concentrated underfoot and tapers at the extremities. This, they claim, delivers drive and energy where it’s needed most while reducing weight and allowing easier flex in the shovel and tail for more forgiving handling. It’s pitched squarely at skiers who like to arc medium-radius turns but still want some agility on demand.

We say

A proper trench-digger with a dose of civility. The Speed 763 looks and feels like a thoroughbred charger, but it doesn’t come with the demands of a full-race ski. The Titanal layout is cleverly balanced—providing power where it matters, while softening the ride where it counts. When we tested it, we found it fast but fluent, reactive but never rattly. That makes it a flattering choice for ambitious carvers who don’t want to be punished for backing off. The SPX 12 binding completes the package nicely, though you can opt for the NX 12 and save £45. We’d stick with the SPX for better energy transmission and elasticity.

Overview

The Speed 763 sits in the upper-middle class of Dynastar’s piste hierarchy. With a waist of 75mm and a 15m radius (at 174cm), it’s right in the sweet spot for skiers looking to link quick edge changes without feeling like they’re on rails. The ski uses a wood and polyurethane core—an unusual blend that aims to fuse damping with liveliness. Above that sits a V-shaped Titanal layer, full-width underfoot and tapering at the ends. That central plate is your driving force, while the lighter extremities free up the flex and reduce swing weight.

Spec performance

Dynastar’s V-Tech construction is the real headline here. That Titanal configuration concentrates grip and energy transmission where you need it most: under your boots. It’s what gives the 763 such crisp turn initiation and tenacious edge hold. The PU in the core works well to dull vibrations without deadening the ski. At 1,950g per ski (without binding), it’s not light—but that weight translates into stability. It’s one of those skis that responds beautifully when driven but won’t punish lapses in technique. The edge contact is consistent throughout the arc, making it a joy in both mid-speed carves and faster arcs.

Skier compatibility

This is a superb match for advanced intermediates to strong technical skiers who spend most of their time on groomed terrain. It rewards good technique but doesn’t require race-level aggression. You’ll appreciate it most if you like medium-radius turns, though it’ll happily tighten up or stretch out depending on how you load it. It’s not a beginner’s ski, nor a FIS weapon—but that’s precisely its charm. If you’re stepping up from a softer piste ski and want something with more bite and feedback, the Speed 763 fits the bill.

Conclusion

With its smart construction and silky power delivery, the Dynastar Speed 763 hits the piste performance sweet spot. It’s an excellent step-up ski for progressing carvers and a capable daily driver for those who like grip and go but want to keep their legs fresh after lunch. The £695 package with SPX 12 binding is well judged; go for the NX 12 only if budget demands it.
