When you measure your ON3P's are you measuring "as the crow flies" from tip to tail on the top sheet, or are you measuring from tip to tail along the base, including all curvature?
And, I'm curious, for those of you on 182cm (or similarly sized) BG's...do you find that they fight you at all when trying to take longer radius turns on hard pack or deeper snow? Or are they happy? I've been on shorter pow skis (~185cm) from other manufacturers that are not happy when i try to lay down a superg/downhill length turn in open powder bowls...they always try to force shorter ones.

I think some of you may be confusing pro form with spancership.
But then again, the first rule about pro form is...

Nice! No brainer if they are reasonably clean.

I got into a Wren 108 phase today out of nowhere, with my manic shit..It's not the hottest deal around, but I feel good about the price. 30 days, one mount, barely any damage to topsheet or base. Bindings not included in that price, and eBay charged me 25 for tax after all was said and done, but I get twelve months to pay and that's honestly more important for me right now being broke (er well I dumped ALL my money into investments)
Ridden under another clydesdale over 220lbs, so maybe a bit softer than as-new, but I prefer that. I remember these being pretty fast, I put a few runs on the first year model Wren 108s. I think this 2019 year model is slightly lighter but also stiffer, IIRC, but maybe that was the following 2020 year. I will probably tune them too, I need to get better about tuning skis myself this season.
I didn't give these as good of a chance as I did other Wrens/flat taild On3ps, and I want to get them their fair shot now. I want to put some days on them and get a real feel for them. They are going to battle the Declivity X for mixed snow daily driver too, until I demo something else that will replace. The Dynastar LP105s are a bit much for everyday.Last edited by AEvospace; 08-17-2021 at 10:16 PM.

If anyone else is looking, I have a pair of Wren 108 184s with demo bindings in Gear Swap.

I love my 2018 108s but not enough days on them or knowledge of differences to the 2019 to help get your stoke up. Definitely that unique blend of plenty of stability to charge but not overly demanding such that you can’t get loose and playful on them. Generally easy to shut down speed but they do demand it when they find the fall line. Accelerate quickly. All that said I tend to spend more time on my 2019 W96 given snow conditions here in the east and the 108s feel like a lot more ski. Also not enough time yet on my WD108s to understand the W v WD nuances. I don’t yet see a whole lot of difference from the Woodsmans to the 2017- 2019 Wrens I’ve skied. Love all around.

thanks for the referral Waxoff. I have a pair of latest generation Wren108s in 184cm (2019-present) with custom Jeffrey 96 topsheet. They are quite minty. Skied about three days on them. For my size they have no speed limit and are insanely fun in open terrain. However, I'm specifically looking for the previous generation (2017-18) because they are slightly softer and should be more manageable in the tighter terrain I generally ski. If anyone has a pair in 184cm I'd be happy to take off your hands or do a trade/partial trade for mine (image below).

I have to say I really clicked with my 114s last year. Felt like the silver surfer on them, so slarvalicious. I went stiffer but they don't feel too stiff or difficult to ski by any means. Great skis.

I have these Declivity X's that also get rave reviews, albeit not many. 2500g/ski, but they seem accessible. This is what X said two n a half years ago
However, if a Wren 114s were available, I'd have gone that route for sure. Probably still will, and just enjoy the overlap.

What do the 114s do better than 108s?
Wish you coulda skied those 191 Wren Comp things I had, for sure they would have been some of your favorite skis. They were much, much stiffer and more confidence inspiring at speed through different snow conditions, than those 196 governors I came down and skied with you on.

My gripe with the Wren 114 is that I can’t really justify as many pairs of skis as I want. They just crush everything and are stable but can also pivot surprisingly easily in tight terrain.
I think about a Wren 96 or 102 to go with them but honestly the 114 carves pretty damn well and is likely more stable… they also float great so it’s hard to say I need Billy Goats given that I’m skiing continental snow. Maybe I could do some Jeffery’s as a mess around ski for a change of pace?
Of just ski the 114 and be stoked

Hey AEvo, not to dirty down this thread, but since the Armada's are already mentioned... If you can't source a pair of Wren 114 and if you wanna go down a somewhat more personal route, don't overlook a +1 cm Praxis BC 190 (i.e. 191). The pair that Keith built for me fits all the bills you're contemplating. I've got a pair of Wren 108 as well, and the overall behaviour is similar. The fat BC's are keepers!
