Tok me 2-3 months to sell a slightly used pair for $125 here in Utah, where there are plenty of rippers.Quote:

Spur, Rustler 11 and Rustler 10

Bodacious, Cochise, Bonafide and Brahma
Might just be my "shiny new things" syndrome, but those Spurs look super cool.
I'm sure this has been covered already, but what is the difference between the Rustler line and the similarly waisted "regular" ski (i.e. Bonafide v Rustler10 and Cochise v Rustler11)?
The 10 is probably going to be new non-pow touring ski. What's the rock/camber profile like?Quote:

Is that black bodacious the OG w/ an evil graphic?
YupQuote:

Oh shit. I am getting excited. Bod in 196 again. Yay. Rustler 112 looks pretty cool too.
True that the Cochise is unchanged?Quote:

Cochise comes back unchanged
Here's a pic of all the different constructions.
Carbon Flipcore WSD
Found in Women's Traditional
- Black Pearl 98, 88, 78
- Men's Brahma CA is similar to this
+ 1lb lighter per ski than regular Brahma
- Unidirectional Carbon, Poplar Beach
Carbon Flipcore
- Bidirectional Carbon, metal laminate
- Brahma, Bonafide, Cochise
- same construction as last few years
- Brahma and Bonafide just get new shapes
2m more sidecut. Old Bonafide 180 was 20, new is 18. Rocker is maybe 3-5cm less down the length of the ski but tip gets more curvature to help it plane better, less tip dive. Also now a layer of rubber between the two top sheets of metal under foot. Some say they feel more supple now?? Allows the metal to sheer better. Just a little more modern versions of old skis. Molds were dated.
Zero G
- Unidirectional Carbon Frame
- Paulownia Core
- ZG 95, 85
- 108 is slightly different but not much
Carbon Flipcore DRT
- New Spur, Rustler 10/11, Sheeva 10/11
- Uni Carbon tip and tail
- metal laminate under foot and fore body
- ISO, Paulownia, balsa Poplar, Beach core
- Carbon Stringers
DRT
The Uni manages the longitudinal flex but lets the tip and tail twist for easy release in soft snow without the flap. Usually softer tips and tails equals soft in both directions. The metal piece varies by width and by size. In Spur it's shortest, R10 it's the longest.
Both R10 and R11 are around 1850g in size 180. Not a lot of camber, maybe 2mm per ski? Not sure. More rocker than a Cochise but not as much as old Gunsmoke. I'll take a pic later.
Rustler 10
164,172,180,188 (cross fingers for 192)
188 is 104mm under foot, all others are 102
17m radius in 180 I think
Rustler 11
164,172,180,188,192
192 is 116, 188 is 114, 180 and down is 112
192 is stiffest, 188 slightly softer, and down
19m radius in 180 ( gotta double check)
Spur
192 (for now....)
26m radius outside edge, 30m radius inside
50% more sidewall under foot
2250g
Flat under foot, long low rocker
Hope that helps

No fiberglass in the flipcore carbons?
Doesn't that work in firm snow too?Quote:

Why so light on the Rustlers? Seems more like a touring or 50/50 ski weight. Wont they be easily deflected in bad snow resort conditions?
Is the new (OG) black bodacious going back to the 2013/14 flat camber ski or the 2014/15 slightly cambered version?
thanks!

Yup it works on any snow but since the carbon is only found in rockered sections it has more of an affect on the skis performance in soft snow.
That's what the testers always gravitated towards. They'd make the same ski in four or five different constructions and weights and the lighter skis were the ones that won out.Quote:

This is the very first Bodacious construction. Even has the split color sidewalls we did the first year. Same flex, same materials, same everything as year 1.
My green-yellow Bode is at best flat and not cambered at all. It doesn't certainly ski cambered. But this is the 14/15 version, right? Maybe some production bias.Quote:

ZeroG pro and a new 115 Pro Women's will be in Grilamid for next year. Those are the only changes.
Why the change?Quote:
