Armada ARV Base Material?

Quote from their website: "Durable and low maintenance, with a speed additive for quickness."
This is in reference to their S7 base which is very difficult to find what type it is. I assume it is an extruded base considering it's on all their strictly park skis while the other skis such as invictus have the "comp series base (probably sintered)"; someone please confirm. Also what "speed additive" are they referring to? Or does this just mean they pre-waxed it? Or is this marketing mumbo jumbo?

I know like 0 about bases but just btw as far as I know all skis come with factory wax. Also if I remember correctly, they used a race base which I guess is quicker than a regular park base (I really don’t know much but I wanted the ARV a while ago but went with the Line Tom Wallisch Pro’s. I just remember seeing a couple of videos about their bases)

Don't quote me but i think they're sintered bases and the"speed additive" is just marketing bullshit. The Edollo has a race base on it though. I also have little knowledge on bases

that;s interesting... ARVs used to have their 50/50 base, which they described as a mix between the s7 and the race base. no idea what quality etc the s7 is though. ive always been extremely happy with my armadas' bases tho

I guess someone had the same question. Im a little suspicious of what the S7 base is. The only confirmation ive seen was from an ns member who said armada answered him yes when he asked them if the s7 base was sintered.
ive trued to ask armada myself but they still havent answered
