Tdub Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Need some input here. I just took delivery of a new HO Superlite CX. I had my heart set on a Senate Lithium but my local shop is no longer a Radar dealer. So far I really like the ski but being a skier in my mid sixties my research has shown that the Senate Lithium is a breeze for deep water starts and skis very well. As good or better than the Superlite. Am I being too picky? I ski at 32mph and rarely run 28. I could put the HO on SIA and move to the Senate if it would make my ski life just a bit easier. Any thoughts? Much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted July 6, 2017 Baller Share Posted July 6, 2017 In the same length I believe the Senate is wider than the CX which should make it easier to get out of the water on. Without seeing you get up I don't know how much of your energy getting out of the water is using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller OldboyII Posted July 8, 2017 Baller Share Posted July 8, 2017 @Tdub since last summer I ski CX because my previous ski Goode XT fell apart. Front of CX sits more in the water and makes the ski more stable/less agile. I did not ski Senate, only had it in hands and it looks wider than CX and has bigger rocker (this is only my impression - I did not have them side to side) Theoretically - In addition to easier start and if rocker bigger, Senate must have less turning radius. Nevertheless I stick to CX - I like it in all aspects and also it looks "sharp'n'classical" )) It is also incredibly unbreakable ski - there were a couple of accidents in which many other skis would hardly survive.
