Great review and purple pivots look good.

I’ve got my BC ST 187s awaiting me when I get home. What binding is my biggest debate right now…

ATK Trofeo Plus on sale from Oliunid for $300. I was planning to order a pair of ST120s in the BC layup/shape and then talked myself into a pair of c132s, I think those will match up with my objectives better. Anyway, Oliunid has good deals on ATK and Trab bindings right now.

Loving all the ST120 reviews. @Marshal or others with time on these, why should one opt for the R vs. FR? Where does the R shine against the FR and vice versa?

R=More directional, tail support, better in chop/at speed.
FR= MOAR pivot, MOAR drift, a touch less work.

I think its really just a stability vs maneuverability choice, but I'll let others tell me if im wrong on this.

Agree. Both do each well and have overlap on the Venn Diagram, but to summarize:

R = more of a smashy personality
FR = more of a video-gamey ride

[Full Trucker]

So, three rocker/camber profiles?

FR = Fully rockered
R = long low rocker
FC = cambered?

And the FC is not available on the swallowtails, just the FR and R in the freeride construction. And most anything with the BC construction has the R profile? I feel like I need a graduate level course to get all this straight.

[Marshal Olson]

You just passed the test!
With the exception that the BC reverse profile is more like a flat tailed FR rocker.

I definitely like the modular approach, but also realize its a bit more convoluted that way too. Longer term, there will be 1 profile for each shape as the "mainline" offering, and do limited editions for the other stuff.

Anyone gotten on the R105 yet?

I believe, until the preorder ships in the fall, I have the only pair. I did a write-up over in the FL105 thread, but if it's something you feel I left out or forgot to address, just let me know.

Gawd damn. Only got to fondle them for a sec before getting pulled away but as with my FR110s I’m incredibly impressed. Mine came out to 1792 and 1839 each. Not bad for a 120 underfoot 187 length ski.

SWEET DUDE! Dying for real world feedback on the Swallowtails.

I got a chance to get my BC Swallowtails dirty for the first time today. Couldn't have a bigger buzz.

Maybe this weekend, 5” forecast for Friday. Not the deep pow experience but maybe worthy? Scared of rocks though.

I skied my R120 comps pretty extensively the last few days in fantasy storm conditions and they are so dialed, thank you again. No tip dive, plenty of heft in a flat tailed 185cm package, easily manageable in higher density and in tighter spaces, but unbelievable in blower, chop and crud on edge. No hangups.

[pfluffenmeister]

Love that topsheet!

I tried to get Marshal to press my R87 in pink ala the R120.

[K1mJ0ngTr1ll]

Got out on the R120 tonight at Brighton. Jesus Christ these things wanna go fast. Can’t wait to get them out on a pow day. I have a feeling will be skiing chop at speeds not yet seen in my skiing career (Still probably not that fast).
Really really please with the R 110/120 1-2 punch. Makes me want to try that FL105.

[enginerd]

WHAT!? That top sheet is out of this world awesome.

^Nice Bry. Instant classics.

Makes me want to try that FL105.

They’re fuckin rad.
Been making up quiver slots to fit em all in. Breakfast laps, Thursday, rest day laps, Shrooms anonymous, Boxing Day. A ski for every occasion.

[Upinsmoke]

Taking my r120s out today! 6” overnight on 9” from the day before, should be good testing conditions

The Boxing Day quiver slot got me lolol

[The Iron Horse]

^ You want the FL105. Trust me, you'll find yourself making up reasons to ski them.

[riff]

Was somebody on here going to pass along a 186 pair of FL105’s?

Great to see the Comp R120's getting some hype. I skied mine this last Tahoe storm cycle and would with everything @bry says here.

Anyone able to compare the FR120ST to the Moment Wildcat? The latter is basically one of my favorite skis (both regular, and tour version) but my only complaint is I do get some tip dive in deep snow (in the “190” length, which is probably comparable to the 187 FR120). Curious if this ski would fix that shortcoming while otherwise skiing similarly (not sure how much the full rocker would change that)

Woop! Woop!

I think the tip dive that folks get on the wildcat comes from the stiffer flex and the -5.65 mount. The shovels done flex enough to have them plane up but makes them really great in chop. The Chipotle Banana has the same issue in my Opinion. Both me R and FR 120 seem to float better than the Kitty. My FR is -7.5 and my R is -8.5. Both of them flex softer than the Wildcat but make up the suspension in their weight 2280g vs 2450g. The R has just as much if not a touch more stability in chop than the Kitty. The FR maybe a touch less stability than the Cat but it’s stupid easy to drift and pivots easier. So yes I think it would solve your issue lol.

187 BC120 next to a 192FR110

1810 & 1812g flat measured weights

XL pomoca skins work just fine with the modded tail attachments Marshal kindly gave me
