First year and second year were the same dimensions and sizes. I haven't flexed the first gen but I think the flex is similar to the second gen. Last years had slightly bigger dimensions, and a bigger variety of lengths. The flex on last years IMO got stiffer, and shittier. This years have the same dimensions as last year, a super soft flex, softer than my second gens And definitely softer than last years.
You must have absolutely zero arm strength and weight then. Because, yes they are incredibly super soft. I flexed potoons, aks, dogens, and every single other soft major twin that is practically on the market and the 07 ARV's felt very very soft.
'04 Armada hits the scene with medium flexing 90 waste ARV. It was aight, but the fact that the 5 were behind it made it cool.
'05 Armada starts building in a real factory (Elan), quality goes way up, materials change and the ARV still medium flex sells out in October.
'06 Armada moves production of wide skis to Atomic factory in Austria, makes all new ARV that is much lighter than AR5 and is softer than Invaders, it looks cool but sits on shelves because the soft flex is feared by wide ski enthusiests.
'07 EXACT SAME SKI AS '06, new graphic, still softest 90ish waist ski ever, especially now that the Anthem has officially been killed. Seriously folks this ski is Fun but makes the PR feel like an Explosive.
