Does anyone know anything about the ARMADA ARV?

I have looked online a lot for some info about the arv and havent found exactly what i am looking for. Edollo makes the ski look so buttery but a lot of companies say otherwise, also i have searched for the weight of the ski for so long and havent found anything, i want a 165cm but dont know how much they weigh! i like buttery but not too soft skis, nice and light so i can spin well too.

Arv sounds good for you. It's going to be harder to spin then a skinnier ski but you'll be fine with them cinsidering people have used them in slope style and big air. They are a soft ski that you will be able to butter for sure. It may be hard to find them since they stopped being made, (replaced by the arvti). The ti is a stiffer version pretty much and designed a little more for charging rather than park.

Sounds like you should just go for the 168cm Al Dente.

As the previous poster mentioned, the ARV is done and is really hard to find in stock these days.

Armada is replacing it with two different models: the Al Dente and ARVti. Both have the same dimensions, but the Al Dente has a softer, park-oriented flex vs. the stout flex of Titanal in the ARVti. Additionally, the Al Dente has a regular S7 base for durability in the park vs. the Race Base of the ARVti.

Saw this on untracked when I was browsing around. ARV 165. Wish they made this in a 178-181. 185 to long and 175 to short for me. I'm sad to see this ski go. Armadas last full cambered, full sidewall ski.
