Strengths:
ultra versatile FAT ski, shure you can get even fatter ones but in all honesty this is enough (100 underfoot)
i tried my best to fault the things.. but even at mach 5 on hardpack these things handle like a GS race ski with powersteering. holds a edge on steep ice (skied 45 deg pitches with confidence).
best way to descibe them is a stiffer original Pocket Rocket but made to last
Weaknesses:
very few.
this model could be a bit stiffer underfoot. when charging crud at wapr speed you tend to rock back and forth due to the soft even flex.
torsional rigidity could be better.. ( meaning in a vey concave couloir about 2 meters wide where the mid portion of the ski is in the air i would have liked then more torsion resistant
price is steep.
Summary:
had an very extended test (>30 days) really wanted a pair.
if you could find a pair unmounted ( especialy this series, the later ones have been reported to have reliability problems). get them.. reaaly.
Riding style: freeride
Length on the ski: 186 cm
Riders weight: 127 kg
Riders length: 178 cm

Top Ski!
Feels heavy and very soft when you hold it, but when you have them under your feet, it's going on like a rag! Works best in a little harvested loose nose. Then goes very stable. They are worth their money!
