DYNASTAR 2004 Inspired By J. Nobis
DYNASTAR 2004 INTUITIV BIG
Legend 8800
Blizzard Titan 9

Inspired - these are white
INTUITIV - these are white too, but I think they have a dragon, or maybe its the Nobis that does
8800 - these are orange
Titan 9 - these are yellow (I think)...

[Tri-Ungulate]

No performance difference between the Dynas - they're the same ski under different graphics. Great skis, though a touch on the soft side for heavy hard chargers.

Yep, the Blizzards are yellow. That's about all I know about them.

Inspired=white
Big= white with snake
8800= orange

All are exactly the same contruction

Titan 9 = Tad stiffer + more shape, a bit more girth, and a full sidewall

[Snow Dog]

The Bigs are white with a dragon. Wood core with a cap tip and tail -- stiff in the middle and soft at the ends.

Intuitiv = Big without the dragon. Different markets got one or the other.

Inspired by Nobis is stiffer, costs more and has slightly different dimensions.

Inspired = Intuitiv Big 2004 while the Super Nobis is a different animal more like the Intuitiv Big 194 of 2003 - ( orange greenies) or the 4x4 bigs 194 from years before.

I was confusing Super Nobis and Inspired by Nobis. I don't like how they use the same topsheet on different skis and different topsheets on the same skis.

[gramboh]

Yeah the 194cm Inspired by Nobis is the Super Nobis, the 188 and down is the same as the Big/8800. The first run of the Legend Pro was the same ski as the Super Nobis I believe, or at least it was the same dimensions (90 waist).

i've skied both the big and the 8800 which in theory are very simiilar, but i much prefer the big. 8800 edge feels a touch vague to me but is maybe a bit more stable at speed?

Could just be the tune differences. I was wondering did you mount the 8800 a bit back like the Bigs? 1-2cm ? Was wondering as picked up a pair of Bigs that haven't mounted yet and was thinking of doing same thing.

[ulty_guy]

yeah, definitely could've been the tune, but i would've figured the 8800 would've had the better tune. anyways, i had the big, mounted at the mark and i'd have put it 2 cm back if i did it again b/c i felt too far forward in crud and windbuff. the 8800's were mounted at the mark as well.
