Hey there, I can get my hands on a really cheap pair of Revision Talisman. My Problem is that I am 6,4 tall (I am german hope thats right 197cm) and got 356mm solelength. Tallest Talismans are 182 cm, so I was wondering if they will perform the way they should. Due the long sole and my height. Any suggestions?

Thanks man, I read some of it last weekend, somehow the european Shop says they got the Skis on Stock AND on sale. But I really don't know if the Skis will be to short for me.
Last Skis I had were the line Blends in 185. And I skied a thall in 181 (I think) an they fell a little short.

You are right but they cost like Double the Talisman, nevertheless 182 will be to short and a 185 or 188 sounds perfect.

If I were you I wouldn't buy them even if they are from a different seller. I would be embarrassed to ride em.

Dude why would you want to support a brand that scammed a ton of people on NS. I would also be embarrassed to ride their skis...

I am on a budget right now and cant really spend a ton on my skis, and they are a really attractive offer from what i have seen on these years Roofbox Review.
219€ is very nice, and i don't think that anybody needs to be embarrassed for getting those, its just skiing, have fun!

if he can't afford other skis I'd go for it. If anything he's supporting a business that got scammed just like us. Assuming he's buying them off blind2 they only got there skis like a month ago and I imagine that can hurt sales when you don't have product to sell for a lot of the season.
