Anyone skied both of these skis. I have only skied hellbents and wondered how they compare, almost exact same shape and turn radius. Is the rocker similar? How much stiffer are the royales?

You will find that the Faction Royales are a little stiffer and won't bannah you out or flop you onto yoru back when landing like the Hellbents will. I just started riding the Royales this last year and all I can say is that they are unreal and its cool to support the smaller ski companies trying to make honest good quality skis without the hype.
Hope this helps you buddy.

Another vote for Royales, I found they were a lot more stable and manageable than bents without sacrificing float. I also abused mine for 50+ days last year and they don't have much to show for it.
All times are Eastern (-5)
