they are the exact same as the cr, just a different topsheet. they're a little stiffer than the teneighty, and i thiiink they may use a wood core instead of foam but i'm not sure on that one.

399 sounds like a good deal for them but they probably wouldnt last you more than a season if yo uride them hard. the core will break down over time. i would still probably get them though

they're 1mm waiste NARROWER and 2mm tail NARROWER then the 1080's, and yeah, stiffer foam, very nice to ride, I wish mine weren't center mounted tho

I've had them for a month and so far they are awesome. Obviously great in the pipe. However I have kept them off rails so far.

^^Huckasorass, when you say center mounted, do you mean the factory mounting point? Or are yours true center? I have factory mounting and have thought about moving them back a bit to the normal 1080 mounting point. Is this bad for the ski?

yeah mine are the factory point, it's pretty damn close to center, I wouldn't really worry about moving them once, just plug the holes, I wouldn't remount more than once tho

My friend has them and I took them for a few runs through our park and they were way nice, you can definitely get a lot of pop off of lips with them and they feel stable when landing. I still like my STL's better for the way I ski but they're for sure rad.
I dont know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
