But I have heard that they are obviously a great pipe ski and are awesome on jumps. They can also destroy groomers but if i were you i wouldnt want to hit many rails or ski near rocks and stuff, becuase they have a race base and I wouldnt want to damage that.

Same edges as thge AR6, but with the race base...
Need waxing more often, but faster than others

I love the Pipecleaner. Fast, stiff in the tails and under foot, soft enough to press and butter, and typical Armada durability. Highly recommended.

had the original pipe cleaners- hit rails on a daily basis- just maintain your skis properly and your set- my only reason why I hung them up was my bindings ripped out after 2 seasons

highly recommended

some of the best skis i've ever ridden. i have the og model and those have thinner edges, so i've gotten a couple cracks but nothing big, and the base holds up pretty well too. the flex is perfect. stiff enough and with enough of a sidecut to lay down some big gs turns but soft enough to ollie really high and butter very nicely. i'd recommend them for sure.
