I'm assuming nobody has ridden these but damn do they look sick. Thoughts?

Already answered your own question, and yeah, yeah they doQuote:

Holy shit, a twin tip that's... fat? The wacky things ski designers come up with these days...Quote:

I'm not claiming their pushing the envelope, but a ski that's basically a twin tip renegade with carbon stringers (even though this year's Rens have them too) sounds like this forum's wet dream.
Only 25 pairs made? That's not very many.... I don't know, they look cool, but the name is kinda lispy
Thayne is making them himself so they're only doing 25 pair. They're also only doing a small production to see how people like it and how it sells.Quote:

That ski looks damn nice. I'd be all over that in a longer version.
They already had 8 skis in the 105 to 125 waist range, what's one more?
Theyre all pretty different though..Quote:

Have you seen many of our quivers?Quote:

Not complaining. I think its rad what they're doing.
4FRNT does funky things. They focus on skiers and each ski rather than the product line. That is how you end up with the same company making the KYE 120, Renegade, YLE, and INTHANE.
Accidentally started a new thread on this...I believe I may be one of the 1st to have these on the forum so I figured I'd post some pictures and initial thoughts.

Looks: The top sheet is spectacular. The texture almost resembles the top of a skateboard. I'm very happy with how the ski looks. The fully rockered profile is awesome...zero camber throughout with consistent rise in tip and tail.
Flex: The ski is MUCH stiffer than my previous Bent Chetlers. I prefer a stiffer ski and these skis are skiff with a consistent flex pattern throughout.
I'll be throwing a pair of Jesters on these and I cannot wait to test these on the mountain. I'll update everyone after I take these for a spin.
Anybody fuck around on these yet? Still contemplating picking up a pair for the end of the season...
My eye sees too much tip rock/early rise.
Lack of effective edge is a real problem. Most companies are coming up with unique ways to deal with this.
Asymmetrical cuts, left and right skis, etc...
more edge contact, more better.
LOL its a renegade, it doesnt need to be dealt with. Get over yourself.Quote:

I'm interested in real world feedback on these as well. Who has put in some days on these? Anyone with experience on the old Rens and the InThaynes for comparisons sake?
It looks like the layup on these is the pre-2017 heavier core plus VibeVeil. If these ski like a Ren but with better damping in shitty 3D snow, and have the ability to backup in tight places with the raised tail (my old Rens would auger in anytime I tried to slide back in 3D snow), then color me interested.
So...anyone actually skied these? Looks like they're sold out on the 4FRNT website so someone must have a pair.
I'm with Toddball. Where are the real world reviews of this ski? I recognize they only made 25 pairs but still, someone on TGR must have some days on them now?

Sick year for graphics for both, and should make a killer quiver or two.
Although my quiver of EHPs and Renegades, both in various lengths is serving me well.
P.S. I'm just waiting for Thayne to come out with a longboard slide wheel called InThayne Thayne Thane.
Does that say mount 89cm from tail, so -4 from center? Should spin well....Quote:

I skied my buddy's pair for a handful of runs and I really liked them. Felt like a looser Ren, and I didn't notice any drawbacks to the turned up tail, although I didn't ski them on mank or crud. Very solid feeling and fun ski. Light enough to set up as a side country rig too.
Anyone else get on these?
Said "fuck it" and bought a pair today.. obviously its gonna be a minute before I get on them. I'll be sure to come back and write a little review on it once I ski them. Especially if no one else has posted any real feedback on the ski. I've just heard little info here and there on the ski, not too much. It's not like its gonna suck tho, just a ski thats been praised time and time again with a raised up tail..
And I went with green..

Look forward to reading that review, think with the recent changes your timing is spot on as well. Good call on the green.

Good for you man! Those look so sick especially for any deep day when it is 3D snow all day.Quote:

But I wonder if that when all the Inthaynes will be ready to ship, and if there are any orders they might complete a pair and ship them out earlier? IDK, we will have to see. Only live a few hours north of the 4FRNT factory so even if they do ship out the 18th, I should get them the 19th/20th, which is no big deal, I can wait a couple of weeks haha.Quote:

Anyhow, Ill come drop some feedback as soon as I can and hopefully all the skis aren't gone, so if you like what you hear you can pick up a pair.
Haven't received skis yet, but will post pics when I do.
Thayne said there are changes coming to the Inthayne, not sure if those changes will be in effect this season or not until next season.
Current ski as you know is just a Renegade with a turned up tail. 122mm waist, 35m radius, reflect tech, etc.
New version of the ski is supposed to be 117mm waist, 30m radius, new tip/tail design, and softer flex. Wonder if it will still have reflect tech or not.
The next iteration sounds more my speed but I've already got my pair of the 2018s. They look great, light for their size, quite stiff. Have a set of Blackops for resort/sled pow so the thaynes are gonna get some Ions. Gonna wait til the lifts are spinning before I take them out for a tour, I'll post once I get some days in.
Have you skied the black ops? If I hate the Inthaynes for some reason I want to pick up a pair of those..Quote:

Yeah I had the BlackOps all last year. Mounted with STH16 @ -2. I think they are the best pow-twin tip I've ever used. I really like them. They are now #1 on my list of favorites skis followed by the 186 Rossi Sickle. Super damp, powerful but easy to slash, stomps drops, skis switch like a dream. I do think that the rec mounting point is really far forward for most people. I'd have to get the tape measurer out again, but I think the rec line is only -3 or -5 of true centre. But at 2500g per ski, its a bit much for my 140lbs to haul up hill very far.
Hm... I'm really considering selling/trading my Inthaynes for a BlackOps. Inthaynes haven't even been mounted, and I wanna try them, but based on specs and the few reviews of the BlackOps and Inthaynes I think the BO will be more suitable for me..Quote:

Yeah.. I'll most likely end up trying the Inthaynes. Made a FT thread to put the idea out there though... have you skied ON3P Jeffs/4FRNT YLEs? Those have higher stated weight but I didn't think they were too bad in the air..Quote:

Yeah I have k116s, and skied 191 caylors for years. Black ops feel more sluggish than both.
Hmm. Good to know, I'll def give the Inthaynes a try before getting rid of them then.Quote:
