Kye 110's

Has anyone skied the Kye 110's yet? I can't really decide between these or devastators, but I don't really like the idea of full rocker. There's not a whole lot else out there in the 105-110 range that's nice and stiff. Bacons and kartels are too soft, and I don't want a fully directional ski either. Any input would help. Thanks

What don't you like about the full rocker?

Due to the fact that the rocker matches the sidecut, when laid on its side for a turn it is essentially a camber ski. But when you put it flat it floats like a full rocker ski. The devs are definitely stiffer and will support you on cliffs etc. I love these skis, and they are my favorite that i have rode so far.

Let me know any questions about them. i will be happy to answer.

Kyes are gonna be pretty directional. But if you do tricks like 360s and backflips with not a lot of park/rails and switch riding they will be great.

Every full rocker ski I've been on ski like light switches, you either go straight or full turn. But with rocker camber rocker I felt I had more control over my turn shape and radius.

I see what you're saying....but I never felt scared just pointing the devs down the fall line and letting them do they work.

Wouldnt mind something in the 103-109 mm range with slight tip/tail rocker and pretty much normal camber. Perfect EC ski.
