Is the on3p magnus a flexy ski?

So, I'm thinking about buying the on3p magnus, but I'm pretty light (43kg) and I don't know are they too stiff for me.

Theyre not noodles like everyone thinks. They are actually pretty stable. It is very easy to initiate the flex, and the flex is very smooth, flexy, and poppy if that makes sense.

They won't be too stiff for you at all. Super fun ski:)

I've ridden my 181s for half a season, and imo they are fairly stiff, I also ride a softer boot which life add to the equation of not being able to butter them a ton, but imo my brothers k98s seemed to flex way more than my magnus

You should consider to rethink your choice of ski, the Magnus is some pretty heavy skis for someone who weighs 43 kgs. Look at some Icelantic's! Super fun and buttery skis, super lightweight also!

It's more a snappy feel than a flexy feel. You can push into it and get a pop from it on the way back out. They're still very butterable, they just require a more consistent pressure than some of the super soft skis out there. This is kind of the trend skis are starting to go with. This way you get a butterable ski that is stable on big jumps. The energy required to initiate the butter is a bit more, but if you practice it and go fast with your weight transfer you'll find that you have more control over your butters (note Magnus and LSM edits) and you'll get that pop coming out of them which will allow you more air time for aiming around (instead of a need for a shuffle which sometimes happens on smaller butters).

They are flexy but you have to put all of your weight into the skis. They are surprisingly stable, and not to mention heavy. Now I traditionally ride factions so I'm used to super light skis but that was my take away. The edges also rise about the base under the foot, its an interesting idea and it really hasn't affected how it skis, but I went pretz front 4 i ate shit cause its hard to grip your edges on rails. It was an interesting ski to demo and I love the idea behind ON3P, the people there are amazing and there business model is honest and perfect for our industry. I just wish their skis weren't so damn heavy, otherwise I would totally invest in a pair.

The raised edge tech isnt a production option to the public, but all Magnus are factory detuned underfoot.

The new Magnus 90 is softer according to their website so you should be fine.

Snappy, not flexy.
