Strengths:
Awesome ability to hold edge on icy/hard packed snow. Really responsive carve ski, you can get right on both edges and never feel like it's going to let go!!

Weaknesses:
Slightly twitchy in straight line at really fast speeds. Definately suited for on piste, sink a fair bit in powder.

Summary:
Great ski! have had them for 3 seasons now and have never regretted the purchase!

Strengths:
Great intermediate/advanced and all conditions ski. Made mostly for piste but can be used on some off piste surfaces. You can ride it whole day without any problem and with more aggressive moves you can use it like lower racing skies. Precission and stability in turns. Higher back binding forces you to stay in the right position.

Weaknesses:
Takes few days to get used to it but thats not weakness in fact. For racing turnes at higher speeds you must use right positioning of your body and higher strenght (correct carving technique) which is for most intermediate skiers preatty hard to do. Unstable when not turning (riding just ahead at higher speeds).

Summary:
I have it second year now and I'm totaly satisfied with it. I can only say that this skies are not designed for begginers. I would recommend it to advanced skiers. Great price compering to Streetfighter 10 which are better skies with fully wooden core but also almost 50% more expensive. If you have advanced skills take it for allday skiing. If you have more money take Streetracer 10.
