Salomon Suspect vs Volkl Ledge vs Atomic Punx

My buddy has punx and loves them...rants and raves all day

Punx are the lightest of the three, but bridges will have more stability at higher speeds since they're a little heavier. The Punx are also more buttery whereas the Bridges are stiffer

He's talking about the Ledges.
Personally I think the Ledge is an absolute piece of shit, but that's just me. At least it's not a ski you can grow on too much, so I wouldn't consider that an option (again, that's just me)

About the Suspects people are gonna say they'll break apart within a week, I have no experience with that.

I own the Punx myself and love them, but I have never skied the Suspects so I can't tell you anything about them.

As for the weight of the Punx: They're really light, which I love, but they're also not the stiffest ski. I can carve on groomers if they're not hard just fine, it's really fun, but once it gets icy it gets trickier (maybe also because I de-tuned my edges and they're as blunt as can be...)


I don't think you can wrong with either the Suspects or Punx, I would just advise not to get the Ledges.

You should be looking at the Volkl Wall as opposed to the Ledge!

The Wall is bomber!

agreed, the walls r bombproof, ive owned 2 pairs, the newer ones soften up a little bit since they first came out, and such a durable quality ski, def check it out

about the durability of the Suspects, all over NS there are rants on the durability and how badly it cracks up, but I feel its a really hit or miss ski in terms of durability. Also I really like how the suspects are a really poppy and responsive ski with nice flex points allowing buttering. Altogether I wouldn't call them much of a jib ski, but aside from that they can slay most everything else (besides pow, but that shouldn't be a problem). PM me if ya got any questions on the suspects. I can tell you pretty much anything ya need to know.

I am thinking of getting the new atomic Punx or Rossignol scratch or Scratch Pro's? any one know which one best for jibbing and jumps mainly only a little of pipe?

the suspects are nice but the topsheet is very weak, the ledge and the punx are very flexy and fun parkskis but not so good for a havier person. i had the suspects and now i have the volkl wall. the wall is the best ski i've ever ride on. in your opinion i would pick the punx or the suspects !

i love my punx to death. they are super buttery, and crazy light. i havent had one problem with them so far.

I own suspects and punx

Punx are really light , pretty soft, i have my dins set higher on them because they are so soft, its easier to break out of the bindings. Super Light swing weight , you can throw them around all day. They carve ok up to a certain speed then they get quite squirrly, im a bigger guy so they may be ok for a lighter person , pretty bomb proof, i have the red/black pair, pretty stable on landings

Suspects , are a stiffer ski , the weight is pretty good , not as light as punx but they are wider so you would expect them to be a bit heavier , they carve really well , better than the punx, they feel really solid when landing on them, super stable, i did lose a chunk of my top sheet first day with them , but its coz a snowboarder ran over my tails. other than that they seem solid, ive only used them like 6 times so i cant comment on durability yet.

i use my punx strictly for park , and suspects for everything/everywhere

so if i had to choose 1 ski to do everything id choose the suspects, they seem to do everything at least as well as the punx if not better.

Punx are still awesome , i would say if you are a light weight person get punx , heavier get suspects

PUNX
