imagine a rocking chair, but on your feet. when you lay normal skis on the ground the noses and the tails are both resting on the ground wit rockered skis when you lay them on the ground the tips rise off the ground usually about 6 inches or so before the ends of the ski. and when you look at them sideways they make a slight u-shape almost.

So basically rockered means no camber or a negative camber?

negative or reverse caber. flat is no camber. but actually rockered and reverse camber are slightly different. rockered skis have a raised tip and tail, but generally a flat underfoot area. reverse camber are just that, reversed camber. the length of the ski is bent upwards, like a surfboard.

Pretty sure its 175 and 185

Being a volkl I would guess that its going to be a little stiffer than the current rockered skis, but thats just a guess.

And I have heard that the rocker is a little less than bents and eps

But don't hold me to all that....

it is a 175 and a 185. It is slightly less rockered to perform really well on groomers. i had been hearing that it is softer than your avgerage ski.

I rode the 185 on a slushy stratton demo day and it was awesome.  Favorite ski at all of on snow.
