I have K2 Silencers and want to center mount them. Should i mount them where the company says is center or should i true center mount them? ++Karma++

well it depends. if you ride about 95% park than go true. But if your going like 30% all mtn than get them mounted a little back

Get them mounted +25 from true center.

Ultimate in switch stability.

But seriously. Get them mounted -2 cm from TRUE center. Measure yourself and mark a line on the skis when you get them mounted. That way there is no shop confusion, causing your skis to be drilled unnecessary times.

This. Pretty sure that on k2's, core center is roughly -2 from true.

measure the skis tip to tail, and mount with the midsole of your boots smack dab in the middle of the skis.

You goon,there are going to be acceptions. The disorderly has a symmetrical flex and sidecut, therefore will perform best centemounted.

Yes I am a goon extraordinaire.  I just wanted to clarify thank you very much.  Never can be too sure with those kirschner bro's.  Out of curiosity, any advantages of the diorderlys over invaders?  A little less noodly?

little less noodly, and they dont break as easily as invaders. they are k2s so they are practically bombproof except for the topsheet but it doesnt effect the perfomance of the ski. i personally like the k2s a whole hell of a lot more
