Manufacturers description
The Ragnarok is all about travelling at mach speed on any sort of terrain; the ski is a pure big mountain gun designed to handle any snow conditions at any speed. A stiff charging ski with an impressive high speed edge hold though with a 300mm tip rocker for maximum floatation in the freshest powder.
The Ragnarok is for riders pushing the limits of big mountain riding, a ski that likes speed and extreme lines for free skiing and free ride competition.

Strengths:
Super stable at any speed (that is any speed)
Good edge hold on hardpack
No tip flap despite the rockered tip.. because it is too stiff to flap.
Surprisingly versatile and turnable (given a firm regime)
Light for such a ski.
Very good build quality.
Weaknesses:
Not the most nimble ski imaginable.
Will definitely kill you when you ride in the back seat.
Bump ski ?.. not really
Edges of top sheet a bit prone to chipping (i'm not soft on gear).
Summary:
Ultra stiff flex pro level big mountain weapon of mass destruction. Closest equivalent skies : probably the Salomon El dictator, the Dynastar Big Dump (but much stiffer especially in the tail) or the Rossi RC 112.
Needs a firm and committed driver but rewards with warp capabilities far in excess of any sensible humanoids needs, and some very insane ones as well.
Don't be put off by the flex , of utter lack of it, the rocker makes it turnable without undue force making it versatile (for what it is). But it's forte is going HUGE and Scary fast. But for the latter you need some serious space.
If you have the need for a serious tool to go big.. go test a pair
(My weight is not typo but I have sound technique and like my skies bigisch. The flex is not relative to my weight. It is very probably the stiffest burliest ski freeride available)
Riding style: allmountain off piste
Length on the ski: 193 cm
Riders weight: 65 kg
Riders length: 177 cm
