i heard they were lighter. Line 1260 is supposedly the lightest twin for the size, and i hear the concept is pretty light at as, so is the tweak.

Concepts are really, really light.

PE's are light for their width. I felt them and the 174 scratch and the 179cm PE felt lighter.

Concepts are super light, but they aren't very fat. from what I've felt in terms of weight:

180cm V-Pro > 181cm 1080 > 180cm Scratch > 179cm PE

my friend neil is letting me choose between the concept or some ghetto blasters for 50$ each. i think the concept has been used a few times as a demo and the blaster is brand new. the concepts are 165. if i got the ghettos they would be for my little bro.

Most of the time it is the binding that makes a ski heavy or not

I can't remember how heavy my concepts felt witout being mounted, Now with look pivots on them they feel kinda heavy, but I haven't really compared them to much. I held a pair of PE's in 169 unmounted and they felt incredibly light.

im not a dick, but your all wrong. The Troublemaker is the lightest ski out. I have the TM mounted with the ZRR 18, which is a pretty heavy binding, and they weigh the same as my buddies Candide's. The Candide's are still in the plastic.
