Another notable change is the base.
What Salomon has done on the NFX is combine the two.
This means is you get a fast base which should still hold up to the abuse of park skiing.
Flexing the ski showed promise too.
Everyone seems to be interested in edge size these days and the NFX does pretty well.
This pair were no exception.
I gave them a couple of groomer laps to see what they could do.
After a few laps I had to try them in the park, regardless of the stupidly sharp edges.
Compared to the Suspect, the flex is much more progressive and they are also a more forgiving ski.
Back in the shop I gave the skis a quick detune.
Over the next few days I spent some time just riding the mountain.
Back in the park it was time to see how they handled the jumps.
I constantly surprised myself how big I ended up going off things.
The swing weight is also really low, so getting the skis around is no issue at all.
I can certainly see where the athletes input have gone into these skis.
I’m sure you all want to know about the durability.
One thing that has really impressed me is how durable the top sheet has been.
Only time will tell how they survive long term, but so far I am very impressed so far.
Luckily this is not the NFX.
I have found I am spending much more time on them then I expected.
Unless it’s been dumping, they are my go to ski.
Next week the in depth review will be something a little less park orientated.
I have been skiing the Atomic Waymaker Carbon 130 and next week I will be releasing my full review.
If you missed it check out the rest of this weeks new reviews including Eira, Dragon and SkullCandyhere.
Lastly thanks to my mate Peter Walker for helping me get these reviews into decent English.
