@lilcliffy you are welcome and thank you.

tkarhu yes Svartisen 75 mm + Rotte ST cable it was. It is a balanced combination with Nosi. Stiff enough but not overgeared. The difference to AT skis/gear is big. Our AT skis are on the bigger side (Extrem Fusion Carbon 106). You can (and also need to) ski with a lot of higher speeds with those. T...

@stenu Thank you for posting that excellent diagram from J Skis. That is a more sophisticated diagram than the ones I posted from Voile- the J Skis diagram illustrates the ski in a pressured-flexed shape- indicating the effective edge extending beyond the section of the ski with positive camber- VE...

lilcliffy I have always thought things like for example in this drawing (by J Skis) below. With modern rockered skis the effective edge can be somewhat longer than their running length. Or in some cases a lot longer if you think fully rockered skis. When the ski is leaned to curve, ski’s contact le...

@randoskier yes for sure there are a lot of Xplore users who have experienced zero problems.

I ski mostly in Norway/Sweden/Finland and do not see that. I see a massive explosion of Dynafit AT skiing (topptur in Norwegian) in Norway. Even with global warming there is plenty of skiing in Norway and Sweden, where it gets difficult is down in the valleys and lower altitudes during long distanc...

lilcliffy visually gen 1 FT’s tip rocker looks about same as Nosi’s but FT is a lot more softer and has less camber: I compared the rocker-camber- profile also to my wife’s 180 cm Falketinds (original white/red) and it seems to be quite similar with the shorter Nosi but Falketinds have still a coup...

lilcliffy what do you mean with ”effective edge”? I understand it as the measure bethween the widest points of the ski i.e. the length of the edge when the ski leaned to a curve. Basically the rocker does not affect (atleast much) with skis that has more sidecut than rocker. Center of the effective...

Here is a tip rocker photo, both lengths are about similar. There is a photo of both lengths’ tail rocker on the previous page.

lilcliffy here comes the measures: -172 cm Nosi eff edge 139 cm, bc mark 63 cm from tail (center of eff edge 69,5) -180 cm Nosi eff edge 147 cm, bc mark 66 cm from tail (center of eff edge 73,5) Compared to the center of eff edge both bc mark and bp is further back on the 180 cm Nosi: -The pinline ...
