New TS ski

[Hawkster]

At 11.5" about an 1.5" wider than the previous I'll be more than curious to see how this actually affects the way the track performs in the real world ?
Comparing to the bike world a fat tire on the front works in very limited conditions and causes sluggish response times .
The lip on the outer edge , from the front of the ski to the outside trackers , seems like it could be constantly battling with which direction it wants to go but without it the ski would probably bend and not go back willingly ? Than there's arm pump from a rigid ski ?
How's that for nit picking ?
Anyone been lucky enough to try one out and have a non sponsor opinion ?



Almost over looked this one , the approach angle to loading and logs will beat the holy dog doodoo out of the plastic in front of the wear bars .

Don't have mine yet, but looking forward to trying it out. I suspect it's going to be more sluggish turn-in on the hard trail, BUT..... the track is narrower. So while the overall leverage of the wider ski works against you, the narrower track will increase response. Think about going from a 200mm to a 280 or 300mm tire on a bike not meant for it (Harley?) - bike handling goes to ****.

When you get going and start leaning it, I'm betting it become more predictable and handles better. We'll know in a month or so!!!

Hope it does well for you , I'll be more than curios to find out what you think of it .

I'm not gonna get this one without a little feed back to see if it will fill in the void .
