Strive 115 brakes also work just fine, FWIW.

These showed up today…
And will be put on some of these in the fall…
Giggity.
I picked up a pair of those last week to put on the same skis. Good choices.
There will be a few of us sporting that combo!
Post it horse!
I am trying, but it appears posting pictures is beyond my pay grade. I will keep working on it.

He-Man. Anyway, that's dope as fuck.
I am starting to eye the HB's. I do not think I am getting on with the FR ST quite like I wanted. I jumped between them and my Renegades this week and the Renegades are just pow missles. A bit lighter on foot and require a bit more active skiing in soft bumps, but they also rail smooth groomers where the ST requires dialing it back. I thought the FR would be my resort preference over the Ren, but the Ren is so drifty and quick in the trees and just rail when it opens up. We have 17 more inches coming this week. I am going to jump back on the ST before I decide if I want to try something else. I am under the impression that the FR is just too rockered for me. I will say, it could easily be the ski I would pick for motorized back country. Heli or cat skiing.
The HL build is second to none. They are so nice to handle and look at. I just need to find the shapes that speak to me.
That's hot.
Really hoping to hear some beta on how the v2 skis, particularly from anyone that's spent time on both. But with the v2 only being the shorter version out in the wild it makes sense no reviews. I had a v1 I've skied once this season because sadly, this just hasn't been the year for me to get out on them. So I sold them (to fund the v2 as I've surely mentioned) to my SIL's boyfriend who's favorite ski of all time was the OG Hell Bent, and then he promptly wadded hisself up and broke a rib the day after he took possession. Something something next season, eh?
The V1 is absolutely insane. Just skied 4 days in a row on them at Targhee and Jackson. I guess I have about 15ish days total on them now. Plenty of deep deep pow and one afternoon at Targhee where the sun kinda came out and it was fall line wide open deep trench chop. Fucking unmatched. Pure weaponry just charging super fast and blasting. Best chop ski I have ever had hands down. In the super deep untracked they go exactly where you want them too and make various densities of snow a joy. I will probably have to pick up a V2 at some point because these are my go to skis for pretty much everything I want to ski with at least a few inches of new snow.
Yesterday at JH was everything from deep cold snow up top to pure melted snow cone down low and they ski that stuff amazingly as well.
I have the HL FR110, R120 and HB 122. All three are pretty damn exceptional skis IMO…the FR110 is special inbounds but the HB122 is so fun too. The HB is great when you have new a fair bit of new snow that will get tracked out quickly or if it warms and the slush is soft and deep.
