[Horton]

 

The acceleration, the snap of the turn and the lightweight feel combine to create a crossover skiing experience second to none. Our Superlite Collection of skis utilizes transformative crossover ski shapes, the CX and TX, united with the industry’s most advanced carbon construction. For those looking for a one-ski quiver built for courses AND open water skiing, look no further than the Superlite CX and Superlite TX.

There's some confusing marketing going on here, pitching the ski as a do-all weapon for open water skiing and occasional course work. I'm all for a company selling more product, but what caught my attention was the video suggesting that we 15/22/28/32 slower speed slugs might be better served on this ski vs the top-end quivers. Anyone care to comment on this scenario?

Capable up to 41 off for some people lol.

Yup. He could run the course on a 2x4! I guess what I was asking is whether high end skis are working against us mere mortals as we struggle for 28's and 32's and at slower speeds.

@sudsysul I think at slower than 34 you want something with a little more width

@sudsysul I believe what he is implying is try both a syndicate and a superlight and see what your body likes best out of the 2. That is what I plan to do next summer is demo the CX and either the vtx or vtr at the same time. I started learning the course at 22mph on my TX Superlight, now I am finally to 28 and 30mph at 15off and the ski is coming to life.
