Really buttery, not as good for jumps. If you do rails all the time and thats it, go for it. But if your 50% rails 50% jumps get thalls. But if your more jumps than rails get ar7's.

In my experience the rocker profile and sidecut where just bad feeling when skiing. The underfoot width was to thin and my 2 friends that rode them broke them. Get filthy rich's.

Best skis I've ever owned, super playful, light, and durable. They get kinda shifty at high speeds (especially if center mounted) but I hit 50 footers on them and they handle it like champs.

Not as buttery as people think but still really fun skis. I love mine and they are geared more towards rails but handle fine on jumps

They're pretty stiff. Not nearly as buttery as people say. My friend sends 30 footers easy on them.

Carve soooo well. Not that buttery and theyd be nicer if they were a touch wider... Swing weights ridiculous though.
