Strengths:
Is happy owner of a couple of Magfire 12.or. Very stable skis in the harvested piste, a little curious about how it works in the sneeze and opistat. Went one day in Branäs in + degrees and wrecked, and they fled well in the slush that became forward in the afternoon.
Weaknesses:
Hard to find any ..................
Summary:
Highly recommended ! Returns with more info when I have tried them off-piste
Riding style: pistons - pads

Strengths:
+ Quick
+ Stabila
+ Twistpiece
+ Good ski for advanced skiers
Weaknesses:
- In a busy traffic piste, a more fast-paced ski is preferable.
- No skiing for beginners / average.
- The weight (hard to wear if you go up the mountain)
Summary:
Tested the skis in St. Anton in February 2008 (6 days).
Due to the occasional / windy snow conditions, there was no proper "powder test" during the week (mainly for the pillows I bought the skis).
Awesome good grip on ice. The skis are heavy and stable in high traffic.
Slightly sluggish in response to carving turns, however, works fine if you put them firmly on the edge. The skis are nothing for those who like a relaxed ride style, they require a driver who works actively (which may be difficult, but good for me).
I would probably not want to weigh below 75 on these skis.
For those who like to drive fast, the rides around 100km / h are no problem on these skis.
Can be added that I go about: 10-20 dgr per year, is ~ 37 to age ~ 30 in body and ~ 25 in bud.
Riding style: Ski / Powder
Length on the ski: 176 cm

Strengths:
Agree with previous review. Remarkable witty and playful skiing despite wide waist. Significantly easier to swing with this ski than compared to Head Monster. I tested it a few yards on quite hard pisted surfaces. Curious about how it works in a little more raised back and loose nose. The skis also stick out a bit in the elevator queue. Nice design I think.
Weaknesses:
In narrow short runs maybe a little more fast-paced skiing is preferable. Do not know how it works in the raised back and offpiste.
Summary:
Feel and stable skiing that is fun to ride in the piste with. Thinking about buying a pair for next season.

Strengths:
Very good ice grip, stable, nice turning radius. Tried the skis this spring in Stöten. Went both in spring skins and really hard surfaces, were surprised that they had such a good grip. The ski was quite soft but really twisty, which I think is due to the wavy upper side. Also tested magfire 10 which had no wavy pattern on the top side and it did not have the same grip at all.
Weaknesses:
Can not directly touch any, maybe it would be fun with even more cutting. Would like to test them in a really hard piste when there are several degrees of minus to see if the grip is just as good then. Would also be fun to see how they work in a couple of decimeters of lice.
Summary:
Very good skiing. Were very excited to buy it and have it as a pistilage and probably works really well even in softer snow (worked at least good in a dull spring piste).

Strengths:
Incredibly beautiful skis with a wide archipelago. Quit in short-range but also incredible speedboats in higher lanes in half-long to long turns. The skis feel playful. The higher the speed and the harder the pressure, the better the skis go. Have not tested the skis in snowmobile yet.
Weaknesses:
No direct.
Summary:
A playful full-blood racer that can make anyone enjoy full fun.
Model year: 2006
