What model did they stiffen up the tail in? was it the 05-06 or the 06-07?

er i should say, does it make the ski a lot more stiffer, or is it still a really flexible ski. like scale from 1-10 type thing.

umm yeah they are stiffer than the invader, the red fujis were a 7.5 and the invaders a 9 on chris' softness scale. the newer ones, granted iv only flex them in shops seem to be about a 6.5ish.

the flex pattern on the 05-06 and 06-07s are the same. they r very flexible at the tails and a lil stiffer at the waist. there isnt really a diff between the skis cept graphic and the rivots
