Kneissl Tanker

Strengths:
Fast, stable, good on groomed as well. Extremely fun sidecut at 190. I've skied this ski since 2002 and love it to death.

Weaknesses:
Heavy

Summary:
This is my favorite ski ever! The only problem is the weight, which I liked when I was skiing every other day. But now that I live in Las Vegas and only ski a couple times a year it wears me out pretty quick.

They will take anything you throw at them. The rule at high speeds, but I've been able to get them to perform well in moguls (compared to other fat skis).

Model year: 2007
Riding style: Powder / off-piste / steep and hairy
Length on the ski: 190 cm
Riders weight: 127 kg

It's a great Powder ski and it isn't for Powder only!!

Model year: 2003
Riders weight: 70 kg

The T@anker. Well strengths are everywhere but ice, and even then its pretty good for a very big ski. Being 178 and 70kgs, I was tempted to take the 180, but having always had big skis, I took the 190 and to my amazment, a very easy ski to ski on for its size. Solid at speed everywhere and easy to slow down if you're in a tight spot. Quick from edge to edge, a solid on piste carve, better than the Explosive and Gotama. Destroys the B3 and Makes the Salamon look like exactly what it is.

Riders weight: 70 kg

Strengths:
sickly stable
Easy to edge in the piste
good on ice
naughty powder float
enough twintip for park

Weaknesses:
appearance

Summary:
The world's absolute best bum brand classic that lasts this year. However, we long for the 02nd cleana design.

Riding style: pillows & skierx, powerful.
Riders weight: 83 kg
Riders length: 172 cm

Strengths:
Easily operated in steep and narrow batches. Compared to other fatty foods, you get around quite easily. Gets incredibly fast on all surfaces. Does not matter very much, with Diamir Freeride it is very easy skiing.

Weaknesses:
Absolutely impossible in the piste (or I have become a bad pistol). Hacks and releases when it gets a bit too hard and a bit too steep. By the way, no weaknesses at all.

Summary:
A very fun freeride ski. I drive 190 cm, and they give a lot of ride pleasure despite length and swing radius. Ready for all types of ground outside the piste. Brant or fake does not matter, it's as funny no matter what.

Model year: 2007
Riding style: Pillows / Upright pillows / Spring snow / Skare
Length on the ski: 190 cm
Riders weight: 79 kg
Riders length: 188 cm

Strengths:
Move, the softness, bitten in the cutting edge by force

Weaknesses:
Softness, speed stability, flattening on hard uneven surfaces (compared to previous skis)

Summary:
The tank is wide, soft and fairly all-round. Test run with regular alpine binding before purchase and now also piste rides and, not least, top-tow test with Naxo21 binding mounted.

Surprised at the wisdom and the ease of getting rid of the pitch, despite skiing / turquoise (slightly more flexible than race / race) The bite is good at the blue (as long as the edges are crisp of course) and the softness gives good compliance in unobtrusive terrain. However, did need that bottomless powder to really test the ski :)

Have driven Tanker (2006) a few days under varying snow conditions. Drive telemark (tie Rotefella R8) Wonderful off piste skiing! Good feeling, stable, great loadability regardless of surface!
Also works well for long carvings in pistons. Feels like the cast choice to be "ready for everything" on the mountain!

Tested in 180cm for 3 weeks in Andermatt and Engelberg
we got more snow than we wanted and it was sometimes supervised completely bottomless.
I have previously traveled to Völkl G4or, but I still experience Tanker as a speedboat as a thousand.
Thoughts go well under all the conditions I tested them, ie everything from Manchester to metering deep fluff and karton nose (except then possibly blue ice that you just want to have in your GT).
Have also tested them a bit in the woods up in Kittelfjäll and I have to say that even there they work fine.
Both me and Tanker, however, feel the best when it's very steep and loose when these conditions are true
I would prefer the length 190cm and when it is as fluffy as we had in Engelberg I would love to ride on 137mm wide (http://www.birdos.com/elevens.html)

I brought a pair of new Völkl 724pro as backup for pistachio but these are still not even tested!

The rating 4 is based on the fact that nothing is complete!

A very good ski. I have not tested it in the correct terrain yet, but beside the piste in Hovfjället, it went like a (trolley) but also very easy and edged in the piste. By themselves, my "dogs" did well, Nordica Dobberman, molded his part.

Rid five weeks on the ski last winter and can only say it's cruel. Went most in La Grave in a wrecked sneeze and occasionally cushions and had a constant smile on his lips all the way down to P1.
