Yup, for sure, every single pair made will break upon flexing the ski, no questions asked. It was part of the design process. You tools, obviously that was a huge mistake or Pep has really been rocking the 'roids:) Don't judge every last pair cause of one incident. Ski them and judge the flex for yourself. You can't tell the true stiffness of a twin by flexing it. The Seth Pistols feel flexable, but in reality behave much differently on snow, same for the PEs.

dont get me wrong, im not trying to diss k2 or the PEs (im getting seth pistols myself) but thats just what a little birdie told me. anyways, i doubt that anyone on this site rides half as hard as pep does, so the skis should be fine for all of you

alright even if he did break them theres always gonna be a few defective pairs, im sure they tested them thoroughly before shipping tens of thousands of pairs of them from the factories. Dont make big desicions based on little rumors you hear on the forums.

We did test the skis in our lab before they were sent out to the shop. The test uses a machine to flex the ski until it snaps the core. The ski is more resistant to breakeage than the Enemy when they were tested.

seth's felt like would break when I flexed them in the shop. They're a powder ski mainly so I'm guessing ice would not be good. Havent tried them because there are no demo pairs.

there's nothing like preditct how a ski will ride/break by flexing it in the shop, eh guys?
ARE YOU FUCKING IDIOTS? do you even know what you are looking for when you are flexing a ski and where to flex it? you can't tell shit unless you compare it side by side with another ski! any one who judges a ski by how it flexes when they push on it (''it felt like it was going to break right there'') should be bannished from life.

you guys that either have PEs or are getting them where do you ski? what are they designed for? cuz if they rip up pow and can kill park and pipe that'd be sweet. also what bindings are you guys putting on?

id imagine they are sick all moutnain...the enemy was based on the old explorer, which was k2s powder ski and they were sick all mountain and i can only see them improving on that design.
