Favorite place to ride: Mammoth
Riding Style: All Mountain/Freeride
Product Year: 1997
Summary: Powerful, stiff, edgy, yet Stable. More tiring to ride than Alp, but that's not the board's fault. It definitely imposes a more aggressive style on the rider. Takes practice to gain complete control of this board; don't let your soft booties friends just take it out for a spin - a buddy of mine almost killed himself on it
Strengths: Stiff & Stable. Great edge hold on ice. Feel like I can better trust the edge hold on this board than the Alp at high speeds and icy conditions. Quicker edge-to-edge transition than the Alp due to the narrower waste. Very snappy & energetic, hence less forgiving than freecarve boards. 57 length makes pretty tight turns. Short length allows for ease of manueuverability in tight quarters despite its stiffness.
Weaknesses: None. You get good performance on the groomers in exchange for versatility over varied terrain.
Summary: THIS is the board for all people who are searching the ultimative carving and speeding machine!!
Strengths: You`re able to make your turns at any conditions....doesn´t matter if it´s hard pack or soft snow!!!!!
Weaknesses: Can´t live without my factory prime (during the night it is in my bed)!!!

Favorite place to ride: France
Riding Style: Groomed/Slalom
Product Year: 2001
Summary: Made my first Vitteli's on this board. you don't need to be concentrated all the time like on a Silberpfeil. This board is not very stiff but it has great torsion control. Very stable at high speeds but still..... sometimes it feels a little weak
Strengths: The real strength of this board is that it is quite easy to ride but you can dig trenches anywhere
Weaknesses: It sometimes feels too weak and when i dig deep i am afraid it won't hold.... but it still holds the turn.

Summary: Not for the faint of heart. Super fun in the correct situation. Tough work in the incorrect situation. Strictly for speed and carving. Submarines in snow but in Eastern hardpack and ice it holds an edge like a magnet. Unforgiving and once committed to a turn you must complete it. I use it for the first few runs in the AM and then switch to an easier ride when the sun softens up snow. A whole day on this and I'm crippled.
