Strengths:
Incredibly playful but at the same time stable at high speeds.
Weaknesses:
Can sometimes almost feel a little too soft but for my riding it's just fun but can probably be a little too soft for others, depending on riding style.
Summary:
Ride on this ski during the season 20/21. Absolutely the best and most fun ski I have ridden. It can handle all the skiing I want to do, which is everything from hunting powder to park.
Model year: 2021
Riding style: Mixed
Length on the ski: 178 cm
Riders weight: 72 kg

Strengths:
- Easy
- Quick
- Shortest turning radius in the class 100-110 mm all mountain / freeride skis. Sick fun carving on the piste. Is like a freestyle version of line sakana. However, you are in the middle mounted on the SFB and can not press as much as in the case. This requires that the snow is soft and not too icy.
- Soft in the nose and tail making them easy for butters, nollies, ollies etc. But not any noodle-ski, gives a good pop back as well. Pig weight also feels low, although the big nose can be experienced dragging a little in the air.
- Works well in humps if you like to ride the balance in the middle of the ski. The flex and rocker make them float on well. Did not experience any hooky feeling there despite a relatively large nose that should be able to get stuck in the humps. Maybe it depends on the convexity
Weaknesses:
As expected, they are poor in driving, icy snow and piste and very high speeds. But if you go with finesse you can still have a lot of fun in such conditions. For example, you jump on snow in a soft part where you kill speed and then repeat the method.
Summary:
Tested the 184s for about 20 rides during Åre's ski test days. For me, skiing hit right in the heart. I've been on the hunt for a jibberier all mountain ski / freeride ski for a while and weighed this against armada ARV 106, Faction CT 3.0, Faction prodigy 3.0, Atomic bent chetler 100 and Icelantic nomad 105. With the above mentioned strengths this was in front these. Went on the 190 for some more stability, suspect that I don't lose much playfulness as it is already so light and soft.
Model year: 2020
Riding style: About 60% off-piste, 10% park, 30% piste.

Strengths:
+ Crazy pistol grip for both short and long turns.
+ When it starts to go fast, you can easily eject the back end and still maintain good control but slow down slightly.
+ Awesome "pop".
+ You're never boring on the skis, but they require you to be active. Otherwise you get "whip" of them
+ Nice flow in just a lot of lice
+ High Speed Stability
Weaknesses:
"If it gets more than a punched pillow, it may take a few inches for more bearing.
Summary:
If you relax too early, the skide speaks quickly if it is for you and you get a nice throw to pair. Has so far failed to "push through" the ski despite high speed and try to provoke this. This is positive in my world as you stay active as a skier and thus (probably) have more fun and develop as a skier
When it starts to go fast, you can easily slit the back end and still keep fine control but slow down slightly.
Awesome "pop" in the skid and fun to drive even in bullied pissed piste, stands for this without losing control.
Overall, the skiing is very good and it feels like a great ski for those who want a skiing for Swedish conditions that they often watch but still give you great opportunities to play in both jumps, pistes and offpiste.
Rid in about 20 cm pads and it floated on superfine, then we found a knot jumper and it floats well there too, but as I write above, I probably lacked a little more width.
The rocks are obviously floating in high runs and hard pistes, but the ridge remains rocky in the hill yet.
Should not call this a pair of skis for a beginner, but you should dare to go on the right track. In terms of price, I think they are in a clear sense level similar to similar skis.
Looking forward to scrambling, try them in the spring box too, but it has not been possible yet.
Testort 1 so far is a well-laid-up forest in Järvsö, where the dykes also showed a sense of playfulness and playfulness in the swings between the trees.
Testort 2 is in a snowy Åre with its best snow season for many years. Here too the forest crop was a favorite.
Next week they will join Ischgl and it will be time to see how they like it.
Shortly enough, a heightened ski lift that makes me even more fun on the slopes.

Strengths:
Witty, playful and very allround
Weaknesses:
Feels like you have an unreasonable amount of skis behind the foot. May interfere in steep terrain. It is recommended to mount the tie slightly backwards if you do not prioritize the rear end.
Summary:
Very allround and above all very fun to ride on. Answers well when you press without being difficult for that matter when you want to kiss. Rid previously with a pair of off-road skis and a couple of pists, but have passed 95% on these.
Model year: 2015
Riding style: Round turns with early edge and speed control :)

Strengths:
Awesome, versatile skis that handle basically everything with good margin, good flow in pillows, although they feel quite small on their feet, very good edge grip for being this kind of ski. Short well balanced swing radius that is damn fun when it burns a bit. Fun simply and good "ninjility"!
Weaknesses:
Because they are so versatile, they are not directly the best at anything. Lack of playfulness and a few percent softer had been fun for this type of ski.
Summary:
A good allround ski when I do not really know what skiing is offered. Works for everything, pillows, pistes and parks and is a good balance when you can not carry all their skis on a trip. Had probably been one of my favorites if it had full robes, weighed 300g less and had a little flatter tail on the twintip for hides, then you had a lot of fun when you were doing it too!
Model year: 2017
Riding style: Quick long pudding wings, playful ninja rides in harvested piste / offpist, little park without spinning.

Strengths:
Extremely easy driven
Fun skis that answer right away
Surprisingly good in the piste
Weaknesses:
A bit fluttery at high speed
Summary:
A terrific fun skiing that works well all over the mountain.
I have tested them all last season with about 100 ski days in the back.
Are old race riders so go pretty hard but feel that they are doing really well anyway in the turn.
Really fat and playful skiing! The asking!

Strengths:
- Good flow in loose nose
-Who in pillows
-Lagom radius in the piste
Extremely light-carved even in short-range.
-Select pucks and wipe in a nafs
-Heat in the offpiste long beautiful turns that can be swiftly swiftly short-circuited
Weaknesses:
Something nervous when you're over 90km / h (not below)
The flattery becomes clearer the faster you go
Summary:
As previously said, very nice, nice.
Funny skis that make me 38 years old that I want to play a little.
I felt that the skid went better when I pulled the tie 1 cm from the recommended line
Have chips jester schizo mounted so will try to move forward even more to see.
Will have the ski as a complement to my Völkl RTM Vwerks, my son will use the ski in the park and offpist piste.
Never experienced the skid as long or clumsy could certainly have chosen 190cm but then worked worse in the park for the guy.
A really good all-mountain ski that works everywhere.
Going in time with these skis about 65% piste 45% offpiste.
Returns with his review.
We chose chips jester schizo to be able to reach the center and to the recomended line when we are 2 to use the skis.
Info about me. 38 years have been skiing for many years and likes to ride a lot of speed (carving is fun), in recent years have begun to find outside the piste and want to go more and more offpiste.

Strengths:
EXTREMELY light skating
"Whatever you throw on the skis, they'll eat it without a problem."
-Like like a thousand, hardly feel that they are sitting on
-Sleeve even for anyone who is not used to wide-sided pages
Weaknesses:
-And I noticed so far is that they can be a bit fluttery at high speeds, but that's obviously understood by the construction and can hardly be added to the negative. That's it.
Summary:
Got these badboys for the 2013/14 season and come from all mountain skis with a little narrower measurements. And as I'm glad I took it up! After all, they test in all sorts of terrain but are almost surprised at how bad they can be carved with. Maybe no real shock, but I thought I'd get bigger problems with it than I got. I'm going on 184 and 187 cm tall with 95 kg of steady boilers, but I still experience a bad float in the skis and no tendency to dive. Hanging 0 in the park so I do not know how the ski is doing.
Have spent a total of 9-10 days on them in different terrain and am delighted that I chose these skis and recommend them warmly to everyone I meet or ask about them. Unfortunately, have only tested them in Sweden so far but if you go for reviews on the interwebz they seem to be dummy wherever you go. However, if you go to Niseko, it may be worth trying out the Opus instead.
Total summaries: Underwater skis that go 5 skies of 5 possible.
Model year: 2014
Riding style: Powder / therapist

Strengths:
Extremely easy to go offpiste, randonee, top trips and an experienced skier also have fun in the piste.
Weaknesses:
May be a bit complicated to ride in ice-caves, but it's just too hard to drive and run fast.
Summary:
Line Sir Francis Bacon a ski I can recommend to anyone who wants to cushion easy and fun, but an experienced hard driving rider can ride a little anywhere.
Both my wife and I Line Sir Francis Bacon, we often go on top trips and use them as randonee skiing, which means stigh's driving. My wife has a Marker Duke F12 on her Line (168cm and 56kg) and I have Mark Duke FPS Extreme (182cm and 93kg) on my which fits perfectly. We have now used these skis in Sälen, Åre, Hammarby Backen, Valle Di Fassa area and Sankt Moritz the latter for 4 weeks.
These are the optimal ski i would say, buy it you do not learn to be disappointed!
