Strengths:
amazing ice grip
Wonderful in wide nipist pist, it chose the shorter shorter for a shorter swing radius
pumping pillows like kings could have been a bit wider
stable as a fan
Weaknesses:
Could have been broader, but then they would have worked worse in the piste.
Summary:
Best ski I was on

Strengths:
Stable skiing
Good edge grip
Easy to drive in high traffic
Stable outside the piste
Do not flutter anything over the top (I can do that I'm a light skier <70kg)
Weaknesses:
A little petty in humpbacks (186)
The tip is sick short and not so high, which means that you get into the back seat like a thousand when driving loosely.
Summary:
Super slides in transport distances. This ski is marketed by Head as an off-piste skiing, and this may be true if the goal is to drive spring snow in Norway in the summer. Should you hang these skis on a cushion day, you will be in a hurry. The skis are so heavy and stiff that you have difficulty getting a move. In addition, the tippers are far too badly developed. If you compare the tipping performance with other skis in the class (dynasties Legend 8000 and mythic etc.), the headskid has almost a racing tip. Otherwise, the skid is very stable and as long as you can ride it hard and aggressively, it works well on a hard offpiste and in a hurry.

Strengths:
+ Stable
+ Just flex
+ Ready puckles well even if it is a right hard skid
+ Really good in the piste
+ Fine turning radius
Weaknesses:
- Obesity is better in pillows
- Swing radius sometimes a bit too big in narrow slopes (ie if you prefer to cut)
Summary:
Great skiing, best I drove. Also has Head Monster 82, Scott Aztec Pro and Völkl Gotama. Monster 88 is most allround. Have driven them for three weeks.
My ride style is big swings in pillows and spring snow, high speed. A lot of pistons (harvested, they are excellent, floating on top).
Rides at least 30 days each season.

Strengths:
A good skiing for Swedish conditions!
Sandwich is nice I think!
Can push in piste despite its pretty wide waist! (Telemark)
Weaknesses:
A little messy when it's crowded!
I experienced it as quite slow and clumsy in some contexts.
The upper side becomes extremely easy "broken" in the elevator queue ....
Summary:
Good skiing as the "all-mountain" variant.

Strengths:
An incredibly versatile ski that is seen everywhere. Have had the pleasure to ride them in every possible terrain during 06-07 in Whistler. The skid has good ice grip while it is wide enough to drive light American pillows. The skid is also very speed-resistant, even in tracked cushions.
Weaknesses:
The weaknesses of the skis are above all the fact that the sidewall is in the clearest team, a proper stone bang can result in nails. A problem that should be resolved in the 2007 model. The ski can also be perceived as a bit sluggish in dense forests but if you want the wonderful speed stability that the ski offers, something has to be given.
The skid is in the heaviest team to jump but can handle proper drips with bravur.
Summary:
A ski to recommend to the crowded. However, we need some weight and strength to make it behave really well. Recommend to buy a more expensive binding than Tyrolia LD12 as this does not really matter if you want to squeeze hard. Have spent 84 days with it under different conditions and is very pleased.

Strengths:
"Åkglada". It is also possible to push these skis far away without worrying. Thick coat! To be as stable as possible with the dimensions it has, it is surprisingly easy.
Weaknesses:
The pages "franks" themselves. Does not fluctuate as well in the correct sense of humor as, for example, Scott Santiago Mission.
Summary:
A very nice ski that can withstand a lot of "strokes". They deliver no matter what mood they are on and work surprisingly well in their pistons to be as wide as they are.

Strengths:
I was lucky enough to get a pair of 2008 model, have gone all day and stormed, except for the tie (tyrolia ld 12) ski stops the plate broke in the first jump, get new bindings a week hope they'll get better :) the skis are working well in the pistons
Weaknesses:
have not yet gone so much than there are none
Summary:
would recommend these to you as much a lot of offpist but like a pistol in a mix of grumpy ice cubes!
Model year: 2007
Riding style: most offpist but also some pistons

Strengths:
the skis are extremely playful and perfect to go here for years. I chose a rather short length to prioritize the characteristics of the forest and to get as versatile skiing as possible. I thought I would lose a lot in speed stability and move in the short-term offpiste but have not had any problems so far.
It seems almost like heads hyped innovations like "liquid metal" and "intelligence" work. The skid becomes noticeably more stable / stiffer when it starts to go fast and is messy, which means that the short length does not feel limiting in the amount of rides that have to offer.
Weaknesses:
Maybe they could be a bit wider. would happily see a monster95a in 179cm length to next year. if they manage to keep 88's piste on such a ski, I'm totally sold!
Summary:
a really versatile ski for those who like to ride a lot of offpiste but do not go heliskiing and untouched metered pillows every day. a perfect ski season for the season who does not want to buy the fatest pillowboards but also wants to get down on the proper cut down for the afternoon slope.
The ski gets a lot more fun if the tie is backed up a little bit, my seat is 20mm behind the boot center.
Model year: 2007
Riding style: lots of forests / gutters. It's a bit bad with huge fields with 3 meter pillows here for years.
