the flex on the pe is stiffer than the scratch but not as stiff as the mad trix...also the 179 is more like a 183 i'd say and then tips are really wide, much wider than the dimensions say...they are the sickest skis ever i'd grab a pair if you can

ya, i had 165 concepts and i just picked up a pair of 179 pe's. so sick. ride real well. i was kinda wary on jumping so much between sizes but i definitely made the right decision.

yeah, they are über huge! the 179 is 2cm longer than 180cm v-pros! the tip is actually 117mm, not the claimed 112mm! they are MUCH fatter at the tip than the 113mm tip of V-pros.

the flex is really sweet. tip and tail are stiffer than concepts, yet flex very evenly. I think that they are lighter than the 180cm Scratch FS, I felt em both in a shop yesterday.

I just brought my PEs home today (so happy) but yeah they are a little stiffer than the scratches and the tips and tails feel really solid. I'm hoping to ride this weekend. I was surprised how big the tail is. I thought it was a lot like the 1080s but they are turned up a lot more. Reminds me almost of line!

That's good that they're tanks, but are they light too? I'm 5'11' 140lbs. Would the 179 be a good size for me?

i'm 5'9'' and 145 lbs and I went for the 169 cm model. i like a shorter park ski but isn't it based mainly off of your weight? also what size skis are you on now?
