Hi great review of the ski I agree with everything you said. I did buy the 110 180cm with shift bindings fitted at -3 cm from true centre but felt the front of the ski is really short and that i could go over the handlebars. I'm 5'9 80kg not that interested in skiing switch just wanted a floaty ski for trees and powder. My previous ski was black crow atris which i found hard work it was 188cm so went shorter this time. My question is would it be worth mounting the bindings a little further back to give the ski a longer nose and stop the feeling of going over the handlebars and if so how much further back would make a difference? Steve

So about the glasses. Is that a vibe?

Some seriously short skis right there.

Could you elaborate on what you mean by suspension?

is the arw 116 vjj ul built the same as the zero arv 116 jj ul?

have u tried the new ARV 112 yet? Whats your impression of it? Techbinding? Hybrid?

Swiss versus Austrian. Nice. Top of the crowded field of skis.

The 2014-16 ish BMX- FX lineup was Kastle's best era of their freeride designs - so if this a trip back to that design idealogy I am in especially a 107 at just over 2000g! My wife is still rocking the 2015 FX95 non Hp. Bought her the womens FX96 she was not a fan, too skitish, less manuverable - sold em. Last year bought a Sheeva 10 2 days in she punted them, back on the FX95 and happy as can be. That FX95 was way ahead of its time. Will have to demo and see if Paragon delivers.

How does Volkl Blaze 106 vs K2 Mindbender 106C? Both has deep rocker lines.

Cast system still the 🐐

What is the white and gold ski? And the grey one please ?

Somehow lucked into getting the Sender Free 110 closeout demo with bindings for $500. Used them for 3 hours in late spring skiing last day. Loved them. Not as good in the flat runouts but really liked them especially in the slush. Can't wait for next year! May not use my Mantra 100's anymore.

what did they change?

Will the forward pressure indicator actually work this time or am I still gonna have to Stevie Wonder it?

It was mentioned towards the end of the line (looks like the 24' laser Orea) that they are the 'fancy monteros'. Is that matte gray ski actually a fancy montero or a different laser?

Hi, is this the regular length medium? Just trying to get an idea of sizing

Hi, I got my hands on a pair of Enforcer 99 of 179cm. I am 173 cm tall, advanced but not expert, 67 kg. I won't get to test them until next winter. Do you think it's the right length for me? I think 173 would have been better, I like to go fast on the slopes so I believe the 179 will good and stable but I am wondering how they will perform in off-piste, in the trees. How tall are you, what length did you test? Do you think they will feel good for me? Thanks!

Interested in the Decliv X 102 changes. How much splay in the tail? Just wishing it was a loose and not locked in. Also , is theARV JJ gone now?

RX didn't get any attention.

Was hoping for bigger graphic change on AR! AX look great

Did you ski the volkl revolt 104 and of so how do they compare?

I am looking forward to your on snow review.. I have watched a couple reviews and it looks like the ZX line did change top sheet unless it is different in Canada or something.. I am also confused with the FX line.. You said that the FX 95 was a shop favorite and it sounds like that had 2 sheets of metal.. I had the 2021 FX96 HP with no metal and I traded those skis in.. I skied with someone on the HP 108 ( i think, might have been 106) but he could really ski those skis..

What about Manas?

Nooooo, don't change the fit!

I have not skied in 20 since I left CO and really want to get back out again. I still have an old pair of Volkl Carvers and loved them. What would be a good upgrade in the Carving range, those Volkl Deacon V Werks look really nice. What's a good binding for those Volkls?

Is this essentially a bib version of the chemical pant?

😀 Promo SM

Stoked for the shift 2.0! I never got the 1.0 cause the reviews were lacklustre. Eager to hear people push the 2.0 and make reviews

Any changes to the S pro alpha 120EL? THANKS!

New color on the QST 106 looks insane!

you missed the best feature ever

When will the Steadfast 80 dc be released? Can’t wait to have the information on this new Steadfast. I would like to buy the 85 but i will the 80 dc information 🤗

How do the prodigies compare to QSTs? I’m thinking of the QST 106 vs the prodigy 3 - are there any real pros and cons to both of them? Thanks

Ski line up looks fantastic.

any comparison of the black pearl 97 vs the Santa Ana 98?

August

I wonder why they don't sell their addikt line in north America. The reviews from Europe are great.

These skis look like a good hard charging freeride ski. How would this compare against declivity 102 and enforcer 104 free of 2024 in terms of speed, stability and maneuverability in chopped up and crudy post storm ski conditions. Thanks for your inputs!

Thanks for the review. No 118 next year?

When you decrease the swing weight is it easier for the ski to get caught up on something?

I'd say they are very soft, but certainly not floppy. If you size up one length, and mount at around -6 from center, this ski is super versatile as a directional all-mountain "charger". I was blowing the doors off the boys on their Enforcers, and Stormriders yesterday on my 184 Reckoners. New version even comes in a 191. Can't wait.

Icelantic is terrible and heavy.

Great preview!

What have they done with the AX 🫣

I was just about to buy the 2024 MX88, but took one last look and realized the 2025 are out now. Wondering if I should take the 2025 now, I kind of liked the white and orange, but don’t know if there are any other updates besides color

Have you tried the new MX88? I was about to buy the 2024, but now I’m wondering if I should take the 2025

Have they solved the problem of the Stormriders blowing out at the heal?

Unless I missed it, I didn't see the Montero AS. Any changes there?

No more ash stringers in the core? Looks like the 106s are going back to the previous version before the smear tips and ash (2019-2021). Hopefully they still charge like the current ones. Regarding the hookiness, I too experienced a bit of this when skiing on flats in several inches of warm slush (trails back down to base at Whistler in mid-March). Anyone know if this is a result of the smear tech tips, or do I need to detune the contact points a bit? The edges do extend a bit beyond the contact points so I imagine it should have some impact. Loved the skis besides the hooking.
