New 2020 Syndicate Omni?

[vtmecheng]

@savaiusini it looks like the Syndicate version of the Omni has changed a bit. The top now looks to be flat from the front of the front binding back, instead of having the cut-outs running down each side. Am I seeing this correctly? If so, what all was changed and how do they change how the ski rides?

Flat top would be great. Biggest struggle in omni is binding placement

@BraceMaker I agree but only because we are using the MOB front release system. If I used a traditional front binding, it wouldn't be a problem.

True but same issue for XL reflex Goode powershell FM etc

@vtmecheng Yes, we actually changed to a flat top mid-2019. Running surface remains the same. Flat top makes the ski a little more torsionally stiff and gives the ski a bit more top end acceleration off the buoy which is something we like in a Syndicate-level ski. And yes, the flat top also makes the ski a little more compatible with a wider assortment of binding systems.
