I just bought a pair of armada arv 96s and i was looking at the mount points and it says factory recommended. Does anyone know what that number is? I looked on the website and couldnt find it.

Are there two lines? On years past there was a mark at -4.5cm and -2.5cm.

Do you have a measuring tape?

I had the shop measure it before I got mine mounted (cause I don't trust myself either lol) and they said the factory line is -3.5 cm from length center. I mounted at recommended and I've really been liking it so far

4.5cm is for all mountain, 2.5cm is factory standard mount for all types of skiing. Theres few posts about ARV's mounting points you can look through and decide for yourself. I have mine mounted at 2.5 so this way because i go off piste sometimes

2.5 sounds right to me. i forget the details but i think the ARV used to have two recommended mount points, one at like 4.5 or 5 back, and the other at 2.5 back, and now that they have only one recommended line, i think it's just the 2.5 one (which is a great mount point for the type of skiing youre probably looking to do with the arv96)

177. You've asked this question at least 10 times.

You’re 175cm, right between those two sizes. So go with your gut. Are you novice, prefer shorter skis, etc? 170. Are you pretty decent and like the stability of a longer ski? 177
