I'd say average. Not softest but not stiffest. NS memeber Lemuel has a good review that probably says that and more in better ways.

TheDoughAbideswhats their speed limit?

Els have no limit for real. Could charge like crazy on those.

SharkoCan I do quads on them???


If you can do quads then yes. These won't prohibit you from that but they wouldn't give you the ability to on their own.

Tough to say since they haven't had a tuned edge in 3 years haha, but I've never over powered the flex of the ski. I've bent the tip of a QST 99 in half while mobbing, could feel the limit getting close on some Walls but they were short. There are pretty stable skis at speed for sure, even with dull edges. They won't be an enforcer but I never felt super sketchy at speed.

I'm 5'10" ish, 155 lbs and I used the 178s for a bit. I had this years stingers and you can see that I wasn't really struggling with size at all.

I was 5'9" and 130 lbs in the 2nd edit and I definitely noticed weight, but it didn't really hold me back from anything except super tech rail shit, but even then I managed it if you really get a good lock in.

This feels like shameless promotion to the max...
