londonskier Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 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". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted October 24, 2011 Administrators Share Posted October 24, 2011 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.

Baller rq0013 Posted October 25, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 25, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ The_MS Posted October 25, 2011 Baller_ Share Posted October 25, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Horton Posted October 25, 2011 Administrators Share Posted October 25, 2011 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?

Baller Ed_Obermeier Posted October 25, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 25, 2011 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.

Baller Ed_Obermeier Posted October 25, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 25, 2011 I'm with you on the other numbers John but 0.810 is way forward DFT in my experience.
