assume the following : 171 Invader 08, 169 Fujative 07

How do they compare in terms of the "butterzone" vs "unique flex pattern" ie flexiness?

also how do they compare in terms of weight?

invaders perform the same way infront and behind the bindings, very buttery, whereas the fujis are softer in the tip, stiffer in the tail, and more poppy than the invaders.

yep i have tried them both...as said above the invaders are lighter, but the fujatives have more pop to them, and fujatives are alot more durable and stiffer in the tail.  The fujatives have alot more side cut or something to them and they carve alot harder where as invaders are fully symetrical and handle well switch but they suck for skiing anything other than the park.

o rly? fujatives actually don't have much sidecut and nobody in their right mind would argue they carve well on piste. that said they are great fun jib sticks.

Maybe I'm not in my right mind but I feel I've laid down a few nice turns on my fujis

I actually would argue that they carve really well.

yeah mine did well on groomers you just have to be careful not to over power them, super easy to make nice relaxed carves
