I have a pair of chronics right now and my top choice for next year are probably a pair of frankenskis or maybe some mangos. Does anyone know how the flex would compare to my chronics or just there flex's in general?

Chronics we’re my first ski. I ski the Mango 90’s now, and love them. Subjectively, I don’t think the flex felt too different, probably like a ~6/10 for both. That being said, still a completely different ski. The rocker profile and shorter effective edge on the mangos make skiing so much more fun for me, but it all depends on what you’re looking for, I guess.

I don’t know anything about the Frankenski that you can’t read on Moment’s website, but everyone I’ve ever seen riding them loves them, so there’s that.

Frankenski is a pure bamboo core so it’s gonna have a lot more rebound and snap. Chronics feel pretty soft overall with relatively little rocker. Frankenski will feel a bit more stout but bamboo is fun when you’re used to it
