Just picked up my '11 Bents.
179cm mounted at core center with Jesters.

Sorry if this has been done already, searchbar'd and couldn't find shit.
Here's some pics with my old ones for comparison:

Other stuff:
They seem stiffer and maybe a little livelier
A bit heavier, not sure you'd notice since the old ones weren't exactly feather weight either.

I guess that settles the huge dispute about the new wider dimensions actually being wider.

I doubt they're carbon stringers if they were they would be a straight line woven into the glass. they just look like part of the graphic

Interesting comparison pics! +k

Looks like they've added some early taper and given it a larger sidecut radius..

you should measure the actual length of them, be a bit interested to see what it is

Long story short, the core on the left one got water damaged and turned to mush, they won't hold on to a binding any more. They've got about 50 days on them.
The southern hemisphere season has a couple more weeks left so hopefully I'll get to ski them in some spring slush and give some feedback on them.

mrstskier, what measurement do you want exactly? Chord length tip-tail, actual length, contact length? I'll break out the measuring tape later.

actual length, Bents have always run about 5cm long, and they look shorter then the old ones in your pics

my 159 domains are actually not 159. They come to the top of my head and I'm 163. But just to make sure I broke out the measuring tape, and they measured at 163.

Man those things are sexy. I still can't believe they made them wider though. My old 189s already feel like I'm skiing with windmills on my feet.
