I'm having trouble deciding between Salomon 1080's Spaceframes.. or 1080 Foils... does anybody know anything about them? Do they have a good pop to them? How well do they put up with a foam core? Are they durable? Other pros/ cons? (i know they aren't new i just found a good price for both pairs)
+k for some good help

spaceframes were sick back in like 2004. i would be shocked if u could still find a pair in decent shape.

rossi pow grinds!

To the OP, they are essentially the same ski. Get whatever is in better condition and is cheaper. Unless you can find the salomon 420s. Those were boss.

What i can remember, the 1080 spaceframes were probably one of the the softest and lightest ski on the market in that era.
