Whats the flex like and does the durability live up to the hype?

A guy at my hill saturday broke his keys in half right behind the binding. They seem durable to me.

I love mine. Soft in the front, stiff in the back for landing jumps. Great camber makes for killer all mountain shredding. I have a full detune on mine and hit atleast 100 rails everytime I go out and have Zero edge cracks.

Ofc ppl are gonna break them, park skiing is abrasive asf to skis, but the keys are built really well. Just detune them tip to tail if you plan on hitting rails, that’s very important

They are a lot softer than you think they’re still super fun skis tho. I didn’t detune mine the first day I rode them and they carved surprisingly well

Dude right? I couldn’t believe the performance of the factory sharpened key. It bounces out of turns better than anything I’ve ever been on. Almost didn’t wanna detune, but ofc you gotta.

They're softer in the tips than I expected since I kept hearing they're stiff. I think my wet + are stiffer.
They carve nicely. I'm still getting used to them though.

If you're in WV this was probably julian orlando snapping three year old wets, he's a good fellow and hit me up and we worked it out. If it's not julian and you see this person again tell them to contact me please?

Skis with three seasons of park skiing on them are going to break eventually, it happens. OP if you are going to buy keys you should do it soon, I have less than 10 pairs of 180's left total and every other size is gone.

I feel like a lot of people don't size/fit themselves correctly either for v's. The amount of heads I've seen just at mount snow riding wets that are too short, or they should be riding plus's is insane. Totally wheelying out of jumps and rails
