New Strada 2012. Any different?

[londonskier]

I'm cuurently enjoying my 2010 Strada, (Silver). Is the yellow / grey ski any different or just graphics. I know the ad says different carbon layup, but anyone experienced it? By the way, tried the Nano mid last week and hated it. It bit really hard on both side turns and was not that quick cross course. So should I try the nasty coloured yellow Strada? As my Italian ski friend says "1st rule, you must look good".

I rode the 2011 and 2012 Strada back to back last weekend. (back and forth for a number of sets) The new ski is faster and "Crisper". With the exact same fin settings, it gets wider and takes more angle. Not a radical change but not the same.

 

I need to sell the 67 2012 ski I rode last weekend. Only has two days of skiing on it. Anyone want it? Send me an email. Get it before I keep skiing in it. (Please stop me)

Interested is it a 67. Tryingto get better angle on my toe side. I have a 67 silver strada. Do you feel any thing different there. Thanks

Toe side is where I felt the most difference. Yes 67.

I agree with horton. I have a 2012 and it is a bit faster and does feel "crisper". Tie side angle is imporved for me because the tip stays down easier. Im able to run stock settings to keep the tip down instead of adding alot of tip with the fin on my 2010, getting me wider, easier.

I cooked some new settings for 2012.

29.5/2.495/6.851/.813

Not kidding. I like a lot more than stock. I need to try back some maybe. The dft is a little radical but feels good.

I see that you backed out some tip with bindings back 1/4. I guess I did the same thing going forward. Hmmmm

Actually on both my 66 and 67, the DFT was the most critical to have dialed in. The fin depth could range from 2.495-2505 without much change. The length at or around 6.840 is good but DFT needs to be in the right spot. For those of you dealing with the Strada, make sure to play around with the DFT.

When I tried the ski with stock numbs I was not very happy. I moved to my 68" numbs and then took out depth. There was a point were I was super unhappy, then I took out .005 more and it was MONEY!

 

If I was to keep the ski I would explore moving the DFT back only because my numbers sound crazy.

 

Will someone please buy this thing from me so I can stop for the winter? Email me -the price is right

So what are your 68" numbers John?

@Ed Obermeier 68" 30 (or 3/16ths back)/2.505/6.851/.810

NOTE - I fat Fingered DFT up above - Fixed it a minute ago. Sorry. My DFT for the 67 is .813 (maybe MS is right that I can not be trusted)

Can someone explain the effects of moving the fin back/forward

[Ed_Obermeier]

Fin back = ski tip more down, fin forward = tip more up. Moving bindings gets the same effects but in large increments. Moving fin forward or back is a fine tune after you get the bindings in the right place.

I'm with you on the other numbers John but 0.810 is way forward DFT in my experience. I ski on the back of the ski too much I guess. Mine is 0.750 to 0.765 depending on water temp.

I know someone wants that ski. Only has a few rides on it so a few hundred off list.

 

Selling because I am not going be able to review it this year and have a STACK of other skis.

I do not have time to sell the ski for what I should. Price just went down.

Hot Pink Strada for 2012

[thager]

Sorry Richard, That looks as goofy as a linebacker sporting pink. Cause is cool but I am so sick of the pink!

[auskier]

i have been told the pink whitney signature version will be softer than the yellow ski? or is there simply a limited edition mens flex ski for the cause?

[RichardDoane]

thager - breast cancer awareness and support is about as PC as it gets. auskier -flex is consistent no matter what the shade of color, you just need to be in touch with the feminine side

[eddie_roberts_jr]

The pink Whitney Edition is the same flex as the yellow. To each their own. We have lots of orders for the Whitney's, even up to and including the 69.5 Strada.

Anyone tried the new Strada bindings with the front strap/buckle?

Yea. the new thingie you see is a cover for the laces. More important is that the new boot seem to fit a better. The liners have been redesigned. I like um.

 

Now will some one please buy my darn 2012 67? I am going to have to break down and put it on SIA.
