Strengths:
Extreme carving--almost scary g-forces when you lean into the turn and they hook up! Unbelievable holding power! This is really great ski for fast groomers, hard-pack and ice.
Weaknesses:
My pair are the longest in this series--173cm, with 16.4m radius--and they are truly happiest in GS-length turns unless you work to make them flex significantly. Even so, they feel a bit nervous in fast flats--keep them on an edge for joy. They will make stivots and blended-skid short turns if the snow is relatively soft, but tend to hunt a bit doing so on real hard pack or ice.
This is not an all-mountain or bump ski.
Summary:
Great, precise skis for GS carving and high-g-force shorter turns, but if you want to carve shorter turns comfortably, go with a shorter length, or better yet, the Racetiger SL Titanium.
Riding style: On piste, best if well groomed. (I ski all-mountain, but have other skis for that purpose.)
Riders weight: 127 kg
Riders length: 173 cm
