I'm quite happy with the Lenz 6.0 with RBC1800 batteries.
Hit up PTEX1 ( Tim ) and he will surely give you the best price. The 6.0 are definitely thicker than my other 2 pair of "ultra-light...

I'm pretty sure there is no duty on skis.

Hit up PTex1 ( Tim ) for some deals on Lenz, and more.
I grabbed Lenz 6.0 socks with their largest RCB 1800 battery for myself for next season, along with some Thermic heated Mittens for my wife. ...

I believe the 2018 SR95 with the blue plaid topsheet is the stiffer one.

Hey Marshal,

I have the R87 175 on order so am curious:
Any ballpark weights on the R87 in 175, in both Comp and AM50/50 build ?

You posted:

Getting older sucks -> Lenz heated socks for me, and heated Thermic Mittens for my wife.
Highly recommended ! :biggrin:

That R120 will be one serious ski, way out of my league, but cool that such a ski is being brought to market, Great Stuff !

Hey Marshal,

I've been following Blossom for several years and owned a set of their White-Out ( 77 wide ), now called AM77. They finally have some decent distribution in North America so...

This year I've gotten into the habit of looking up any skis of interest at Soothski -> very cool info there, all for free.
Here is the current FR 115 and Rustler 11, both in 188.

I mostly ski on hard-pack so I'm not your typical TGR'r. I find moving up 1cm ( or even 0.5cm ) can alter the feel of tip engagement on a groomer, or the feeling of less tail. As the skis I'm on...

I put Demos on everything, mainly to futz with mount point. I can't sleep at night knowing that 1 or 2 clicks forward or back will bring me to ski+binding nirvana. Plus when I travel, I bring 2...

^^^ Thanks for the detailed explanations using the above examples, very informative as always !

Marshal's website still shows the original $699 price for the Carbon & Freerides, whereas the price for the Racerooms are up $100. Fortune Favours The Brave -> get your order in ;)

How about the Fischer RC One 82 GT ?
I have it in 173 ( love it ) and chose it over the 86 GT 175 as I wanted something a bit lighter -> I never tried the 86 GT so only speculated that the 82...

Marshal, order just placed for R87 175.

Is this the LV or HV version of the Gara ?
Or does your version with Sidewinder predate separate LV / HV versions ( per Zipfits current website offerings ) , thanks
