But to add to the thread, GOOD LCUK FINDING THESE WITH BINDINGS FOR LIKE 500 DOLLARS UNDER WHAT THE SETUP WOULD COST.

I'm sure 168 was referring to a preferable size not cost.

So to the original poster, you want 169's
Remember they will ski much shorter than the size states because of the reduced contact area so 179 could be an option

Yes I'am looking for some that are 168cm with bindings. My local ski shop can order some in for me but they would be arouns 650. If I don't find anything cheaper I guess I'll go byt them. Justa seein what else there is out there. It's a big world you know.

Generally a 179 in all the factory team skis will run around 182

Even still, the 179 Bents ski more like a very low 170 and there is probably only around 150cm of ski touching the snow

i see.

thats really informative, because i myself have been looking for a pair of bents and i was having trouble deciding what to get because im sort of 'in between' sizes, but if they really run like you say they do, maybe ill go for the 189 vs. the 179.

I guess it depends what you want them for and how big you are
The 189 will measure out to about 194 chord length but will ski so much shorter than that..i'd say over 50 cm of that would be off the ground.

well i know quite a bit of it will be off the ground due to the gigantic rocker, but i never really added it up like that.

but when you think of a quarter of the ski being off the ground, thats quite a bit.

169 bents run about 174, but ski much shorter due to the rocker, and the fact that most people mount them really close to center
