Yes, I have seen them. They are amazing.

But yeah, just to say "I ride night trains" would be fucking funny alone.

Casey Jones anyone? haha.

Deadhead refference half of you might not get.

Yep ... new model.


Not the most in-depth review, but a quick blurb from someone in Italy who had a few turns on these:

"Fantastic float" that is better than the JJ (only similar ski that could be used for comparison). Uniform flex. Very agile in the trees. Not the greatest on groomers but that was probably attributed to a bad tune. 9/10 in crud. Stable at high speeds, but with a "good limit".

hmm, in terms of intended use it sounds like a fatter jj that's designed more for charging...i think they would be overlap with my jj's

Also, the rocker profile on the Night Train is modeled after the 186 Bibby.

You could sell the JJ's. ;)


But yeah, a bit wider in the waist but less sidecut towards the tail. Also, the Night Train has early tip & tail taper which helps reduce drag and hookiness in powder.

well bents and jj's have very different flexes, bents are soft and jj's are by no means soft
the ruby is pretty soft but nothing like a bent
