22/23 gear rumors

[WhetherMan]

ATK bringing out adjustable front release values for next season. Called the raider evo and comes in 11,13,15. And they have gotten rid of the push in button for the brakes as well.

This is pretty exciting. Releasable ala tecton vipec? Or just variable clamping pressure or something? ATK has been killing it, if they can execute well on that and keep the weight down that will be impressive. And they will sell many.

Also, PICS!!!?

It's variable clamping pressure from what I've heard. Just waiting on the full specs.

How about a Head/Tyrolia binding with 'knee saving' lateral release in the heel:

Is there a pink Fischer Ranger next year? Cause holy crap it has good resale.

Cause I bought this year’s pink FR 102. Skied it a day and then listed it on FB marketplace/Craigslist and had 5 people wanting to buy it ASAP. The seller paid my cost (even with a mount and one ski day) without negotiating. I was even offered immediate deposits to hold it by two potential buyers.

Never seen that before so makes me wonder if Fischer are offering two colours (like pink and blue this year)? Cause man people love pink.

PS - great ski just wasn’t “better enough” than my E104 to warrant keeping it.

Had the same experience this weekend. Someone tried to buy my (non pink) r102s out from under me.

I'd love to see pics or hear more of how they are doing brakes.

Will lateral heel release fget on base with this one or finally strike out? Line reactor - Strike One. Knee Binding - Strike Two.

Blister really liked it + a lot of other publications fluff "awards" always seems to help with that.

Nope, only bland colors:

Agree. A Revolt 112 would be fantastic. Also, where is the Black Ops 110? Not happening this year? This photo has me confused. Looks like the 118's with two different topsheets? Also, here is a look at the new Rangers (courtesy of SkiTalk). The tail notch has me wondering if they are more 50/50 weights which would be a bummer.

Man, is anyone else devastated that the trout graphics are only on the shorter length? I was so excited about that ski......

[old mexico]

Yeah I thought I was finally going to try out the black ops. Then I while back I heard that graphic was only for the shorter size and I was sad

Looks like Alpride is coming out with version 2 of the super capacitor airbag system. Scott, Deuter, and BCA, Millet (and maybe more?) have packs with it. Some details on Alpride 2.0 vs 1.0

40% more compact: 1.19L (E1 1.0) vs. 2.05L (E1 2.0)

15% lighter: 1140 g (E1 2.0) vs. 1280 g (E1 1.0)

Larger 12 liter tank: 162 L (E1 2.0) vs. 150L (E1 1.0)

Increased charging speed: USB-C (E1 2.0) vs. micro USC (E1 1.0)

New compartment for AA batteries

Added an LSD screen to check the charge level of the super-capacitor and AA batteries

New deflation button with access to the outside of the bag

Addition of an automatic vacuum valve to remove the pressure from the airbag, 3 minutes after inflation

Easier to remove from the backpack, for off-ski use

I'm...excited about the bent 110. I know I'm not the only one.

[kid-kapow]

Also, ON3P should be pretty close to launch the new Mango 90, 100 and 110 series - aka the next step in what used to be the Magnus line. If you want to call it a late 2022 model or early 2023 is kinda potato potato.

They also kinda hinted that there were more surprises coming this winter in the Blister podcast, so perhaps a second pro topsheet ski, a reworked C+D, restocking of Jeff118s (those who have been on them thus far in the ON3P thread have REALLY been liking them) or something else. Time will tell.

Ya me too. Could be my Tecton ski.

When are they gonna be available?

That silly Atomic/Salomon binding is actually pretty legit. Skied on it today. Feels good.

Would you rather have it on your feet versus an STH or Pivot? Curious about the elastic travel specs.

That heel looks like a knee binding.

[Bandit Man]

Snagged this from the FWT IG…M-Pro 108. Second shot shows the tail rocker profile. It’s a video capture but the best I could do.

[detrusor]

Didn’t my Tyrolia 360 RD’s have diagonal heel release…but no elastic travel?

Yes, and they sucked

[North]

Added an LSD screen

Say more! Stoked to see this system becoming dominant. Looks like next year will be a good time to buy.

[mr_pretzel]

Anyone know anything about the kastle boots?

Looks like an older Lange to me

LSD screens can be difficult to read:



Should really use a technology that allows for better legibility for such a critical piece of equipment.
