Baller ALPJr Posted May 22, 2016 Baller Share Posted May 22, 2016 This has to be one of the most underrated skis. A ski buddy has improved his average by over 12 (3 to 4 at -28 up to 3 to 5 at -35) buoys in one season (2015). He turns 73 this month, went out today for the second time this season and right off the dock - 22 28 32 and 3 @ 35. This ski should be on top of the list for course skiers at 30 to 32 mph. Was on a Monza prior to this as he transitioned from 34mph to 32 to 30 mph top speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ralph Lee Posted May 23, 2016 Baller Share Posted May 23, 2016 I'm intrigued Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ALPJr Posted May 23, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted May 23, 2016 Edit, with my contacts on I accidentally wrote... 20 buoys... Was 2 full passes 12+ buoys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller savaiusini Posted May 24, 2016 Baller Share Posted May 24, 2016 Agreed! It's got all the guts of a Syndicate ski (PVC core, carbon fiber layup, adjustable fin block) in a shape far better suited to 30-32 mph! Bob LaPoint is still crushing -38s on his Superlite TX...

Baller Bill22 Posted May 24, 2016 Baller Share Posted May 24, 2016 @ALPJr thanks for the info. My friend just got a 67 TX (not superlite). I think it is going to work great for him at 64 years old, 30mph, -15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motoxchp Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 How does the SL CX ski compare to the TX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller wtrskior Posted June 19, 2016 Baller Share Posted June 19, 2016 @motoxchp one is wider, and I can never remember which one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Wayne Posted June 20, 2016 Baller Share Posted June 20, 2016 TX is wider than CX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ejj Posted June 20, 2016 Baller Share Posted June 20, 2016 TX is the old Triumph basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller savaiusini Posted June 20, 2016 Baller Share Posted June 20, 2016 TX is roughly the same width as the old Triumph but totally new mold. TX also got updated with Clean Edge in 2015. @motoxchp the CX and TX are both made in Superlite versions. These are about 20% lighter than the standard versions due to their lighter weight PVC cores and full carbon layups. These have a livlier feel similar to the Syndicate skis but in a more user friendly shape for 28-34mph.

Baller OldboyII Posted June 20, 2016 Baller Share Posted June 20, 2016 If TX is shape of Triumph is must be very friendly and forgiving ski. When my NanoXT fell apart I took from garage old white Triumph and was amaized how much fun I got without losing performance, though I mostly free skiing (do not have much access to course). If HO added more edge grip (look at my pic. on Triumph :/ ) TH might be a ski of choise for many intermediate skiers (I'm the one of them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Bill22 Posted June 20, 2016 Baller Share Posted June 20, 2016 @ALPJr my ski buddy is really enjoying the TX. Now he just needs to get his powershells setup correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller pgmoore Posted June 20, 2016 Baller Share Posted June 20, 2016 @savaiusini Both the CX and TX seem rated for roughly the same speed. Any comments as to why a person would choose one over the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller savaiusini Posted June 20, 2016 Baller Share Posted June 20, 2016 They both have a top end of 34mph, but the TX being wider is better suited to bigger riders or slower speeds.
