Same splay heights but tip and tail splay looks more smooth thru the radius. Not as abrupt. Maybe im imagining it?

Nah, think you’re right. Data sheets show deeper rocker lines tip and tail, so ratio (average) of unit of splay per unit of rocker a little lower on the V2, which looks great.
Wife doesn’t love the idea of me buying a third 116 this month though (fair enough), sounds like my ankle rehab gear purchasing free pass may be getting revoked, for today anyway….Pros and cons to marrying an adult.

Haaa, i sold mine thinning the heard but that new smooth splay addresses the only small quibble i had. Still have the gpo and a bg 116. Mvp 108 and protest are next in line before that new rx but tomorrow is another day

Youre going to have some fun on those. In any snow over 8-10" or soft corn you'll feel invincible. Nothing like them. A heavy wet pow slayer.
Theyre a handful on flatish cattracks though
I regret selling mine. Theyre great to have at the ready

Bummer is they're too small for me, too big for my wife and my spoiled kids have enough skis. PM if you're interested and we can work out a deal or I can post them in GS, but I thought I'd give you guys first dibs for the help. BTW, these come from a buddy who unexpectedly died this summer. He was a charger in every aspect of his life and I'm sure he would want them to go to a good home.

Yeah, I love my 184 rx, but that abrupt tip and tail rise is the only thing I would change, that and maybe some added tip taper.
My rx is the standard version, and I believe the Rocker is 40/18 tip/tail, I've measured it. I would prefer the 45/30 version above with the more gradual rise, that might be just about perfect.
I picked up some used gpos to try out. I'm thinking either a gpo with added camber underfoot, or perhaps this new rx would be perfect.
If anyone does talk to Keith, let me know what he says about the gradual Rocker for the rx. I'm pumped if that is an actual change.

Fresh out of the wrapping. A couple of data points.
Stock Rx 189 cm from the Discount Skis selection. The new profile according to Keith. With a neat little tail rocker, 30 cm as listed seems accurate, moderate tail splay before tail upturn. Tip rocker 45 cm as advertised.
187.5 cm straight pull, 4.47 kg for the pair, a smidge over 3 mm camber per ski.

We could see a resurgence of the rx to top sales spot. That profile looks like perfection. Super smoooove transition lines. I wants!!

Yeah, those slender tails with a bit of rise are quite intriguing. Actually that's a feature (pintail-ish) that I've previously kinda shy'd away from. Looking forward to the experience..!
From what I see, the -8 mount put the center of sidecut pretty much under the BoF...

Spar varnish

Spar varnish is good protection, but it's not gonna hold up to skis knocking into each other. I'd mix up some epoxy in a warm environment so it's liquidy and paint it on thin with a small brush.
