Line Honeybadger Or On3p Magnus

c_chungI am having a really hard time choosing between both skis. I want a very durable and light ski which both have the qualities of, but I really don't know which one I want to go with. I ski 60 % park and 40 % all mountain. Help me out here!

If you go ON3P the Kartel might be more up your alley, and both aren't very all mountain oriented. Id look near more the Blend from Line if you do more than groomers.

Yah I've been skiing more all mountain but I want to ski a lot more park this year, I forgot to say that. What would you recommend then?

The Honeybadger looks like a fun ski, but if I had the honest choice and money wasn't a concern, I would go with the Magnus any day over it

Definitely go with the magnus.

Magnus

I have the filthy rich and it can definitely hold up on some groomers. Get it on the longer side though, I got mine pretty short and am regretting it.

Stoked to see the intrest in the Magnus. The ski is super agressive, it turns fast and pops hard. The full skis is easy acsessable so you gan go from The tip of the nose to the tip the tail easy. It also butters well. If we compare it the the mc world It's like trail bike you.
It's also insanely durable.

Haha - Magnus with the sales pitch!

The Magnus is badass, they simply go hard. I was worried when we first started talking about an asymmetrical park-oriented ski, but they have delivered. The ski is able to withstand whatever you put in front of it, first of all. 2.5mm X 2.5mm edges, 1.8mm sintered 4001 durasurf base (means thick, fast, and durable), bamboo core (will not break, super poppy, super fun), and UHMW sidewalls - my boss once said if a nuclear bomb ever hit our ski mountain the only thing left would be the cockroaches in the pump house and my skis. So they've got the durable portion down, that's for sure. The benefit to no longer being symmetrical is that now they ski even better than the FR did, both forward and switch - meaning they'll still kill it all mountain. And in the park, they'll butter, press, pop, noseblock, and spin super well. The elliptical rocker in the tip and tail gives the skis an almost hing point (without bending the ski so much), meaning the ski doesn't have to flex as much to get up on the tips or tails, allowing for a stiffer core, which makes jumps and all-mountain skiing much more enjoyable. It's like having the abilities of a noodle ski, without the noodle base.

But seriously, let Magus' skiing do the talking - no kicker nollie lip 2 onto an urban rail...?

I like line and the honey badger looks cool but if you have the $$$ get the on3ps

definitely gonna go with the magnus, thanks for the help

Also considering people that ride/work for a company actually help and chime in on the ski community should give you an idea of how good the product is.

We may be biased...but we believe in our skis.

Buy the Magnus, be happy, don't look back.

I hope you believe in your skis. I feel like Line doesn't as much. I believe in your skis, but my wallet doesn't haha. I just don't have funds, trying to find a used FR though, if you guys have any demos left Id be interested

Swandog7I feel like Line doesn't as much.

What makes you say that?

freshiesbrahWhat makes you say that?

Well, for one it seems no one actually chimes in on here, a lot of people complain about their durability (I've seen like 10 pairs fall apart in front of me), all of their reviews come from riders on their website, there just isn't a lot of backing the product. That being said I've heard Lines are a blast to ride, they grt best pretty quick though in my experiences.

Yeah I guess you're right... but they're a lower price point brand than the smaller companies.

They figured out a pretty good line up a few years ago with the Blend, Chronic, Pollard skis etc. so not a whole lot has changed in recent times which makes them appear quiet. They do put effort into doing line up videos every year and are definitely a more 'fun' brand than the other big players like K2, Volkl.... their pow and all mountain skis review well and their park skis are a 'go to' option if you don't have a whole lot of cash.

I'd say they are putting some effort in with a new ski just about every year.

I love my Blends and they seem pretty solid, super fun to ride but I can definitely see where they might fall back in terms of durability longer term. They were less than half the price of an equivalent ON3P/J/Moment etc. so you can't really compare though.
