Hey. I was thinkin about buying a pair of Madtrixs but I've heard they are a bit heavy. If anyone has skied them before and knows anything else about the ski I'd like to hear it. Thanks

well, i have the 1080s, and they r a bit heavy and stiff, but wut is good about that is that they have great pop and still kick ass in the park so if that is the kind of ski you want, get it

armada claims they make really durable skis, but the madtrick is amazingly durable, also look out for the 06' model next season, new graphics and more jibbyer, along with a mojo boot and mojo binding

^Cool. Tyrolia is finally gunning for the newschool market, huh? They're not bad bindings, but you never hear anything about them on here. And I agree with the praise for them... I bought one pair of madtrix, skiied them a few times, and went out and bought another pair so that I could use one for a beater ski... because they're invincible. Also, amazingly stable and perform ridiculously well on groomers. It's hard to find a decent deal on Mojos, unfortunately. But great skis, nonetheless.

Stiff and heavy. Very stable through rough snow, great edge grip, great feel. They make you feel confident, and you will start skiing faster on harder terrain.

If you are light, they might kick your ass in the park.

i still claim on those skis...i have never bent, broken, delammed, or ripped an edge out of a head ski...they are heavy(er) but if you want a ski you can stand on...go with head. they have an incredible reputation for durability. next years madtrix is also a little different with the graphics and the flex pattern


When in doubt...FSI

i thought the same thing... good luck!

the only thing that gets really f-ed up are the edges. the weight is a good assurance.

I have two pairs... and I wouldn't if they weren't a durable, well priced, and a really fucking good ski.
Yes a little heavy, but don't be a bitch. They rock my fucking socks everywhere on the mountain. GET EM!!
