Cobra R8 springs compared to SB and SB X2?

Post by hyung » Sun May 08, 2022 6:53 pm

Does anyone know how the Rottefella Cobra R8 springs compare in stiffness to Voile Switchbacks or SB X2s?
I have the Voile TTS bindings with stiff springs and am curious how the longer spring action on the black Cobra springs would compare. I know that TTS kits offer longer springs but I have access to the Cobra springs and might try them. It throws off the size with my rods because these springs are longer than the short X2 springs that I ordered for my Voile TTS with stiff springs.

The SB is the softest by far.
The X2 and R8 cartridges are very, very similar using a hand test pull standing on the skis.
