i know they get stiffer with bigger sizes. could anyone who's ridden or at least handled the hellbent compare it to a ski of relative stiffness? i know that comparing flex is a bad comparasin, but are they invader/fujative soft or stiffer? i'm wondering specifically about the 179 length. thanks to anyone who can compare it to another common ski on the market...

anthems are a few notches stiffer than the invader. thanks to everyone who's replied so far, this is really helpful.

I have the 189 but havent ridden them yet, so this is going off of hand flexing (is sometimes much different than actual riding). They are super soft in the tips and tails, very comparable to my T-Halls tips and tails.
All times are Eastern (-4)
