That's a lot of variety in the skis you listed and it sounds like you would prefer a more traditional mount point. That leaves out the Anima for sure which is -6 and seems like a soft and centre biased ski. C&D for deeper pow bias or Billygoat for more versatility. Spurs too if you're thinking C&D but at your weight/height the ON3P may be better suited.

I sure as shit hope it is a sizing issue for you as I am 6'4" and 210 lbs and have a brand new pair of 192s with sth 16s ready for their maiden voyage... I was looking to go with 116 Woodsman, but because of the great reviews from this board I went with Rustler 11s... I do own 193 Gunsmokes and love them so hoping the same for the 11s...

I'm about to mount some Rustler 11's. Thinking -1 is where I want to be. Anybody played around with moving points?

What length? On anything shorter than 192 I wouldn’t go back. The mounting point on R11 is very dialed for how it skis, IMO. No need for experiments. If you picked up the right size, you don’t have to fear tip dive.
This ski has to be rather upsized if you’re going to charge on it.

I have 188's. I'm 5'10" 175. Have 185 Cochises for charging. Protests for deep. I just happen to like more traditional mounts.

What's Blizzard up to?
Funny people are talking going back? Or funny to me as I don’t like far back mounts.
Just sold some 181cm Lib Wreckreates (sorry Mt Baker). Used the $ to get some Rustler 11s (last year’s green ones) in a 180cm.
Going to go +1.5 to + 2 to get them to -6 on the ski. I think rec is -8?
Mounting in a few days.
I’ve skied Faction Candides at -5, Opus at -2.5, Libs at -5, Rens at-5, Bibbys at -5, InThaynes at -5.5, Nomads at -5.5.....
Never had tip dive on any in the deep. I ski pretty centered.
Interested on hearing from Rustler 11 owners who have gone forward +1 or +2?
I’m 5’7”, 165 lbs.Last edited by kc_7777; 12-29-2019 at 10:49 PM.

Ski the 192s at +2. Makes them more playful and I think you will like them there considering you history with other skis.
Personally I wish I had mine at recommended now, feel a bit off balanced at times when skiing hard.

I had hole conflict at recommended, and the um mounter put them at -1.
I'm moving them to +1. Will report back after skiing...
Skiing 188s at 6'190#. As some (roqer and others) have noted, size up. The 188s almost feel small for me!sproing!

What is the experienced mount point on the new (19/20) Rustler 10 in a 188? Factory is +1 I believe but reading several different opinions. Also, this has metal under foot so are do it your-selfer's tapping when mounting or will drilling alone do it?

Regarding the rustler 11: After owning a pair of 188s for half a season, I don't consider them a dedicated powder ski. I have original spurs and spur-ed bodacious from a few years ago and they both ski powder better with their tip design. The R11s are definitely more fun for chopped up powder, steep trees, powder filled chutes and other tighter terrain. I definitely get tip dive on deep untracked powder if I don't stay centered. For me, I have to concentrate a bit more in deep powder as the tips don't stay up as well as my other powder skis. But they are just so much fun all over the mountain, I find myself wanting to ski them as much as possible. I didn't try the 192 before buying. Would like to get on the longer length at some point for comparison.
For my day to day 2-ski quiver for LCC, I am very happy with R11 and original cochise. I do like to get on my spurs for the first half of really deep days, though. Those ski untracked deep powder so well.

I think Leo skis his 188 R11s at +3 from recommended. I reached out to him to confirm. He's not a big dude by any means.
The mounting points on Rustler are definitely different than the Cochise/Bodacious/Bonafide, quite a bit farther forward.
I ski the 192s on the line and have no issues. Never experienced tip dive. I probably would on the 188 at my size but have only skied it a few times and never on a deep day.

I went 1.5 or 2cm forward on my 188 R11s and have been really happy with them there. I mostly ski OG Spurs on really deep days but have never noticed any tip dive issues on the R11s at that mount point (5'6", 185). I'd like to ski the 192s for a comparison.

Anyone experience top sheet delam / separation at the tail (where tail TPU meets top sheet)? Less than five days; serious bummer. I tried wood glue and and a clamp but that didn’t work with tail vibration.
I will say the steeper the terrain gets the better the 10s perform.

Rustler 11 192 mount point
Hi guys, i`m a R11 192 owner, Alps skier, 184cm for 88kg.
This year i moved to Dal Bello Lupo HD from Dobbermann 150 and, considering i use A LOT foot to ski i`m feeling a little bit less strong on my Rustler!
It`s like now the horses are for giving me less than the past with race boots.
Probably i`m one year older and weaker legs than past year ), but i was wondering if could be an idea to move +2 the bindings (Jester 16), to have my Rustler more playful.
What do you think?
