You seem to have done a bunch of this already, but the article may have something new:

Duplicate Post from 105 thread.
- The Carbon skis receive a subtle full reverse profile across the line. It is essentially the same for all skis in this construction.
- The FL113 reverse is unchanged. The FL105 has 3mm per ski camber new, that will ski into about 1.5mm per ski with a few days. The FR110 is full reverse.
- Production weights for the 187 C113 is 1750g, the 185 C105 is 1650g, the 184 C90 is 1525, and the 177 C90 is 1420g.
- Production weights for the 194 FL113 is 2500g, the 192 FL105 is 2425, and the 185 FR110 is 2350.
As always, holler with Q's! Lots of QC and shipping to do in the coming weeks
My target is to have all preorders shipped by the end of AugustComment

Thanks Marshal! Beautiful skis! Adding the C105 or 90 to my wish list for next year

Wait, will the FR110 ship in August, or are they the run after?

Good Q! The 186cm FR110 ordered to-date (and the 4 pair of unclaimed skis) will ship in August. The newly added 192 and 180 are currently slated to ship around X-mas/New Years.Comment

Damn those look fantastic! I am psyched I could jump back on the FR110s since my doc thinks I might actually get to ski this season.
Also the C90s look incredible. I 100% see that ski in my future as my long day/spring ripper.Comment

Awesome! Hope you're feeling better, too, not just doctor good. [emoji846]

This koolaid looks tasty.
Most of my days are on with 186 OG LP or 184 LP 105.
I used to crush the 192 LP 105 (and 194 XXL prior to that) but I guess I’m getting old and had to downsize. I still giver pretty hard (I think?) and aspire to lay super-G trenches wherever I go.
Which Heritage Labs am I?
185 FL105s seems like what I need but can they super-G like the LP105? Are they a modernized LP105?
188 R99 looks like a pretty good fit too. How do the Comp and AM flexes compare to the OG LP 186?Do what you like, Like what you do.Comment

I rode my 187 xxl's for the last weekend of my season, and damn are those srill good! I rode the fl 113 most of the season and would call those a modernized xxl. I have some 185 fl 105's headed my way soon, so I would guess those are modernized 186 legend pros by extrapolation (only demoed the LP once before starting a 15 year relationship with the xxl instead). The 188 r99 comp sounds like an unmodernized (and probably a more actual match) to the old 186 LP from what I see others postThis koolaid looks tasty.

Honestly, I think you'd enjoy the FL105 the most, in either length.This koolaid looks tasty.

1) the 192's sidecut radius is right in between that of the Xxl and the LP105 (actually much the same as the 189 b-squad).
2) the 185's sidecut lies super close to that of the 192 LP105 AND the OG 186.
What differs is the flex pattern. The 186 had a fairly stout uniform flex, and the 192 had a pretty strong tail combined with a solid mid body and a softer shovel.
The 105 flex pattern and layup is based on that of the FL113, only uniformly softened a bit, which means that the front and mid section is stout, and the tail is a bit more forgiving, based on Marshal's old favorites, the Head Monsters.
Now, there's no metal in either the 105s or 113s, but the sweet, sweet layup makes that point moot, at least to me.
Honestly, all of these skis are meant to go really fast, designed to excel in varied conditions, and I think you'd be happy with either length. The tails of the 192 will make it more forgiving if you mess up a landing than either the 192 LP or the 194 XXL, as will the 185 compared to the OG 186 or the LP105 184. Make your choice depending on how relatively young you feel.
Chewski is right. On paper, the 188 R99 looks really similar to the OG 186, and some reviews say they feel very similar, but as I've neither been involved in the design process, nor skied them, I can't really comment.
