Strengths:
Super durable - very poppy - super stable for landings off big jumps - goes anywhere - holds a solid edge (until you have completely flattened the edges but hitting so many rails) - handles all snow conditions super well - looks like boss skis!!!
Weaknesses:
little heavy
Summary:
These skis have handled australian snow conditions for 5 years now and they are still going strong. (Australian means: hard pack ice in the morning, super slushy in the afternoon and lots of rocks and dirt!!)
They have done at least 120 days on snow in all conditions including hitting a lot of big kickers and phenominal amout of time on rails!!! they are also a super steezy skis to look at.
When riding them you feel as though you could do anything with them and hit any run / feature and you know they will perform well and survive whatever you throw at them.
also done many GS races and SkierX events
Only down side is weight so it may slow your rotation down if your not agressive with them in the air.
Armada possibly created the most versatile, durable and steezy ski ever made!!!!!!!
can't wait to get back on them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Riding style: Park / all mountain / Powder (if your agressive skiier)
Length on the ski: 176 cm
Riders weight: 80 kg
Riders length: 185 cm

Strengths:
I dont know what he's talking about, the skis have MAD flex, very soft and buttery. The camber is over cranked to begin with, so its great to butter, and pop off jumps or onto rails. Fairly light, shreds anything you need it to
Weaknesses:
I have had some chews in the skis, but luckily my edge has stayed intact.
Summary:
Definitely request to a friend, please, more people need to realize what armada is.

Model year: 2005
Length on the ski: 176 cm
Strengths:
Durable side walls and bases, stable carver(little chater), lots of pop, swing weight well balanced, flex saves you sketchy landings
Weaknesses:
Heavy compared to most, takes little extra effort to rotate (spin)
Summary:
AR5 176:Very stable ski at high speed (little chatter). A extreamly durable ski if mounted properly. Very thick side walls edges and P-tex holds well to bases. Excellet park and all-mountain ski and will hold an edge during hard carving. Have lots of pop for boosting off lips. However, considerably heavy ski compared to most twin tips. Does take a little skill to get them to spin, shouldn't be a problem for advanced riders. Flex is great for stomping landings frontside or switch. Previous skis where Line Skogen's, 1260's in 176 ,Skogen 178 w/87mm waist, Dynastar 174 T-Makers and Rossi Scratch 174. Armadas are by far the best I have riden in trems of durability and stability. However are the heaviest I have ridden. (Just takes more skill to rock'em) /Freestlyle PSIA'r and Terrain Park Crew'r / 7 Springs
