Let’s get the hype rolling! New ski designs from Volkl and line so far that I’ve seen. Yes as discussed in the old 24/25 thread there is a brand new boot entering the market from armada! It’s unlike anything else that’s out there. Exciting times in the industry for sure!
Brule.Wouldn’t be surprised if the Salomon comp athletes are still on a NFX. Unfortunately I’ve never seen the newer NFX’s for sale in North America…yet.
its not an nfx based on the construction
the last nfx had a sidewall construction not this kind of bevel construction
The fish/swallow tail be looking a little gimpy and vestigial.
Maybe it's just for the proto, but visually I prefer the full-commit fish tail of the sakana or the little concave end on the blade. This one is just somewhere in between in no-mans-land.
BallClapperSkin cutout. Like you see on touring skis. So assuming it's a lighter layup.
Usually skin cutouts are not so recessed, usually a rubber tip with a square cutout in the end that matches the typical width of a tail clip. This one is too rounded IMO to be useful as one of those since the tail clip might just float around a bit. If this is a new mindbender, it doesn't make much sense to me why K2 would put a skin clip on it as it is not a ski designed for touring (they have the wayback), unless the 'c' version of them are filling in the hole left by dispatch, but unsure with that.
Standing firm with my "it looks cool" idea.
Looks similar to the one on3p does but a little deeper.

This is what K2 been doing in the past, I see no reason why they would move from it. Clip like what K2 does also adds some durability since it is a rubber insert.
Like a lion!! Nice to see a Tanner graphic again. Also heard a rumor he got dropped by MGG and starting his own clothing brand. I guess it’s called Bomber Cloth (pronounced bomboclaat)
scratchskier321maybe just arv112 with different graphics?
Nope it’s a new magic J UL, now if it’s a regular release idk about that. The arvs for next year have the madsteez graphics. T likes the light weight skis
No you’re not, a saw a reel of him on the same skis with a black base. Probably updated top sheet graphic for the 110, but they haven’t made samples with the new base graphic.
