Exactly ! On 100+ waisted skis I find the difference noticeable whatever the conditions

Shit googles but R10 did just fine [emoji1305]

You should definitely try the 191 before taking the plunge

From ATK the word is no. Cheapest I found here are around 550€ but if you have better options I am in the market for one extra pair in 108 !

They ski a bit loose like the R11 OG, really worth it !

Might have to take the spurs straight away [emoji1787]

R11s or green spurs otherwise !?!

Talking empty slopes too so full throttle ! Bones or bodacious would be great but I don’t have wider than Brahmas with 2+ sheets of metal !

Yeah it goes all the way up to 3600 meters and it might be hard for an hour or so early morning, so not even sure we are going to make that ! Firebirds might be pointless and I was kinda thinking...

Off to Tignes for the closing of the season. Sunny weekend ahead with 15+ degrees Celsius so it’s more about apres and bbqs…
Still what skis would you bring ? Firebirds for early morning rounds on...

Compared to the new R10 ? I have spent quite a few days on it now and it really feels like the livelier R11 I was hoping for when I bought the first gen. Really happy with it (talking abt the 190+...

Yeah I was actually thinking abt that too…

I’d like to have two pairs so I can switch skis if needed (approaches are way more rocky with warmer winters here). Thought inserts could spare me a second set of bindings, just moving them from one...

I have been ski touring a lot this winter on Zero Gs 105 and I was so impressed by the new construction of the ski that I bought a second pair to double it - although I found the build quality very...

Does anyone here has ever mounted his pin bindings on inserts to switch skis ? Any change on the skis behavior considering how light touring skis can be ? Considering this options for some 105...

Retails for 700€ here, deals at 560€ so you should def get it !

FR15 on ZeroG 105 are money but I would not mount them on anything heavier than 2kgs.

Talking abt options to tour and shop guys not paying too much attention I just thought I’d double down on the last Zero Gs (thank you Greg) and the extra pair I got from them had the carbon drive...

The spacer is really worth adding for better control on the way down. I found it makes a big difference with fat skis. It is included in the freeraider EVO for a few dollars more

I find the green one pretty surfy and smeary with plenty of float at 127 ! Also it starts at 159 all the way to 189 so you might want to check it out.

Looks like you are talking abt the spur here, asymmetrical or green one


Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant Tapatalk

Decided to switch from tectons to freeraider 15 evo and it’s like night and day on zero Gs 105.

Sorry I was actually talking about the updated zero G 105 [emoji51]

Dunno abt the R9 but the new R10 does ski longer than the previous gen and that’s a good thing considering the rockers.Although...

It does indeed ! Actually did the upgrade and they do ski way better [emoji1303]

Thought too the new R10 (in 192) is much closer to the R11 than the previous one was. Definitely the 10.5 I was expected [emoji1305]

I’ve had a few days already on the new R10 in 192, mainly in soft snow conditions and I it’s exactly what I was hoping which is a narrower 192 R11 when it’s not deep enough : super strong au patin...

In Tignes this morning… First day on the new 192 R10. Will report back [emoji6]

Curious about the new R11 vs the OG in 192 length. Construction is obviously different but length remains the same while side cut and turn radius are slightly shorter.
Since it was such a great ski...

Thank you greg ! I am either in cochise or zero g 130 and they are both great at what they do [emoji6]


Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant Tapatalk

I will ! Thank you guys for your help ! I reckon I was probably too much on the back seat on the first gen - glad I sold those skis anyway it was a bit weird skiing them following the ACL crash...

I am 6’2 and 209 lbs, my BSL is 335 mm and the skis are 188 cm. Won’t be doing any butter or straight lines with those in pow (did my ACL a couple of years back on the first gen doing just that...

Thought I’d asked again here so everyone can chip in or benefit from the answer. Just pulled the trigger on the 2024 version of the 105 but I noticed the two bumps are back ! Since I have always...

Looks like the carbon drive has been updated in this year zero Gs (3.0 vs 2.0). Does anyone been on the 2024 version of those skis yet ?


Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant Tapatalk

Thank you ! Had the chance to hand flex the 186 and considering the rocker I think I will go for the 192.


Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant Tapatalk

How different do you expect them to be from the 186 ? Might have to choose one of the two by the end of the week so I am curious to know what you are looking forward to ?

I am tempted to go...

Indeed, I am all Blizzard from long ago. Skis are like wine or car seats… I loved and got used to what we call here « le touché de neige » of their skis from the start and I try to support the brand...

Does anyone has any intel or had the chance to try the new 192 Rustler 10 yet ? Green 192 R11 is one of my all time fav and I was wondering wether the 192 R10 would follow a similar path (192 and 188...

Couldn’t care less abt the new R11 but dig the weight, size and radius of the 192 R10 already. That and the orange sidewalls ;)

Considering the current snow conditions in Europe a beefed up 186 R9 is promising. Curious abt sidecut and turn radius !
...

Happy to stick to the current 188/192 R11 which are perfect if that means getting a righted R10 in 192. Should be able to try them all in a couple of weeks and report back.

New length
New construction
New rocker profile
New titanal frame
New trueblend woodcore

= New Cochise ?

Precisely !

I agree with Greg, i quite enjoyed the C106 but found the tail stiffer that the R11, which is a bit of a downer when it gets deeper. The tail is to me the stand out feature of those skis and wish the...

Had some time on the 185 but I need to try the 192 as it is probably quite different in the tail department

190+ R10 would be a welcome addition !

To be fair I was holding both rustler and hustle 11 with the same bindings I could hardly feel the weight difference…

I actually own and ski both R11, 188 with Duke PTs and 192 with Pivots. Both mounted on the line. I found them to be quite different, the 188 (second orange gen) eventually turning into what I hoped...
