For fucks sake what are the dimensions of the urban triplet?

it seems no one knows, according to www.atomicfreeskiing.com
the side cut is "111-84-104"

according to freeskier it's "111-84-104"

i think Skiing says the same

BUT!

according to Rex himself they are "108-84-108"

i messaged Ced about it

ontarioskiing...* --> quebecfreesty...*$
hold the phone, is next years triplet urban NOT symetrical??


quebecfreesty...*$ --> ontarioskiing...*
it is symetrical


now i want to believe the atheletes who are actually riding the ski, but when several major ski publications AND the atomic freeskiing website say differently i cant be sure.


So to whoever knows FOR SURE: When I get my pair of 06/07 Triplets in the mail, will they have a symetrical sidecut and flex pattern?

No, that's not true. It is to a degree, like some companies will press a ski with reverse camber, or slightly softer/stiffer for athletes, but Atomic will not make a ski with a sidecut built to fit for a rider

i never ordered them, when i said "when i get them in the mail" i was being hypothetical because i wanted to know the dimensions of the actual prduct being sold and not the ski the pro team is using.

and even so, it matters because we have a lot of people who dont know the dimensions and this thread could clear things up for them.


now that i know for sure that they are symetrical i am going to get a pair.


thanks for the help evryone

OK TO CLARIFY!!!

the Urbans are symetrical, the 111-84-104 is WRONG!!! it's a screw up on the websites that I've addressed and am waiting to get it fixed

the 184's Dimentions are
108-84-108

as for custom skis being made for the riders, alot of companies out there do that but we're NOT One of them, if you buy and atomic freeskiing ski then you're getting the exact same ski that all the pro team is riding, It's my firm belief that a customer should get the same product as the riders are getting.

any more questions?
