They seem to work real good for me. I have never had a problem with them on rails.

awesome ski..

can hold an edge ok when on groomers, pretty stable on rails, a little heavy in terms of swingweight (but you easily get used to it)

good reliable construction, topsheet chips very easily though

i'm keeping mine, im happy with them

the AR5s are awesome all around skis, i have last seasons, and the are smooth in the air, a little stiff though if you want to butter, are decent on rails, overall, i would recommend them
