Newschoolers' Review:
The Bash 116 is a tricky one to review. It's versatile, it handles pow and trees well, carves pretty effectively, is solid enough to charge, balanced enough to jib and generally does a good job of everything. But, as Volkls often do, they feel a little heavy and damp. And for that reason, they didn't really inspire me. They are a perfectly good ski but I found them just a little dull. -Twig
Characteristics: Playful, Floaty, Stable

The early taper in the tip and tail allow the skier to maneuver with almost no effort. A playful powder twin tip ski for easy, drifty turns and tricks, whether you ride forward or switch.
