Did they change the flex of the SPK pros?

I was looking at the site and I thought I saw the SPK pro flex jump from 95 to like 110???

Is this true or no?  Also, if it is true has anyone noticed the stiffness difference first hand?

It's true, and I'm not completely sure it was a good idea, just from backyarding, it feels like the flex just isn't progressive enough, time will tell, especially when the cold stiffens them up...

The dude at my ski shop said nothin has changed. He just said you pay more to add weight. I don't know how accurate that is though.

well I have the SPK pro from last season, flex is fine for what I do cuz im not too crazy, but it just seemed kinda strange for that big of a jump in flex  if its true, unless salomon changed their flex rating system...

i have last years pro's and im pretty stoked on them, if your that concerned then go with the kaos of whatever is the lower end one, in the pro all your really paying for is like a nicer liner and like i think 10 more flex
