Where and what do you plan on skiing? Basic answer is FR if you are 100% out of the park and FS (or even center) if you are 100% in the park. If you are 50/50 the go halfway between the two. This is just a basic guide. In the end it is up to you.

I just mounted mine +2cm from the FR mark and i like them. I ski like 40% park and 60% all mountain. I havent skied them in the park yet but for all mountain they were good.

The karmas FR or traditional midsole point is REALLY Far back, for a twin , it is more inline with a highseed ripper, like the rest of volkl's skis.
I have mine mounted at +1 and its still pretty set back compared to other twins "traditional" mount,
Id say if you plan to do any park split it and mount it in the middle of that scale, or closer to FS
But what ever you dont dont TRUE CENTER mount it, other wise you could have just got a park ski for half the price

I did +2cm which is right in the middle. I've only skied one day so far but I really like it. I didn't do much mark but I tried some small 1's both on jumps and just playing around on the trails.

i mounted mine at 3cm+ from the fr mark and i've only had the chance to ski them once on groomed. they are solid as hell. I didn't get a chance to ski pow or park yet. But im wondering if anyone has them mounted at the fs mark (like 3cm from true center) I mounted them myself at a shop and immediately regretted not mounting them a little closer to the fs mark. up in AK, i skied 90/10 all mtn/park but here in CA, im skiing almost the opposite. for those of you who mounted closer towards the FS mark, did they perform well in pow?

I mounted mine at the FS mark, and they still kill it on the groomers. Can't comment on pow though cause I don't don't see it that often to even care.

i mounted mine last year +2. since they were a BIT short for me i could have done just +1 but the +2 has worked fine, no complaints
