I am in the process of putting together a first hybrid/touring setup as a
way to get into touring. I am 1,69cm and around 68kg and would describe
myself as an advanced skier. Currently hesitating between the Bent 110
at 172 and 180. For reference I have skied the bacon 183 as a daily
driver for the last 8 years without issues. Thanks in advance for the
help!

Thanks! Counter argument from a few people with touring experience was around additional weight and help with kick turn - any experience you can share on this?

It might be a bit annoying at first but you will get used to it.
