It's interesting because they are not stiff tip to tail. The Dx has a noticeably stiffer tail vs tip, so mount point really matters. Perhaps that's what you're experiencing?

You mean the 192 Dx or Ranger?
If it's the Ranger, I'm still kicking myself for not getting the 182 once I saw how rockered the shovel was on a modern "pow" ski. -

WTB: Fischer Ranger 107 ti 182cm (PNW)
I have the 175cm but I can't scratch the itch of trying the 182cm at least once in my life everytime I ski it. I know there's a new Fischer Ranger out there, but I'll stick to one thing at a time.
