my friend has been riding his new Reno's a few weeks now and he swears by them! He says they are some of the best skis he's ever been riding on. From the looks of things, they're pretty flexy - on a similar scale to the old invaders i'd say.

They are as flexy as the Anthems? When I had mine I wished they were a little stiffer, and if they really were the perfect all around they probably wouldn't be as flexy. Whatever still really sick skis.

in one of this winter's SIA videos the Moment guy mentioned that the 2011 Reno Jib will not be as stiff as in past years.

going on my 3rd year with them,

not even close....to the flex of the old invaders, maybe if you mount 2 invaders on top of eachother thats the stiffness of them.  ^Also stiffer then the anthems by a good amount, ^ if were doing a line comparison id say stiffer then the blends, FSB (last years), and afterbangs, maybe close to the cronics (havent played with them in a while)

there stiff skis, by no means 2bi4's, still supper supper poppy and fun, most bombproof skis ive ever been on, they do break in well though mine have loosened up after a while

personally the only thing that would make them better is a slightly softer flex patten, that apparently that is what they did this year

^ wait to see the stiffness of this years models, if i was only 100 pounds and skied previous years jibs, when they were stiffer,  my personal opinion would be no

to OP, they are indeed stiffer then the fugitives
