Baller estrom Posted August 3, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 3, 2012 Anybody familiar with this ski? The only thing I can find on it says it was made in the Monza mold which I think was a pretty aggressive ski if I'm not mistaken. Is the NOS slightly softer/less aggressive? Any help would be appreciated. I emailed HO and they have not responded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Wayne Posted August 4, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 4, 2012 If I remember correctly it was the same lay up as the monza and shared the same shale bit had added width for use at 34 MPH. It may have made it into one of the older slalom ski reviews (the useful ones back in like 2006) which are still floating around on the web some where (can't find those at the moment). I do remeber the comments were that it had similar characteristics to the monza or system 8 but bounced over the wakes more (maybe due to the extra width).

Administrators Horton Posted August 4, 2012 Administrators Share Posted August 4, 2012 Was that the one with the fake leather top? Wake crossings were not great. All the new HO stuff in that range is sk much better.

Baller estrom Posted August 4, 2012 Author Baller Share Posted August 4, 2012 @horton, I didn't notice any type of fake leather top in the pics. Looks like a relatively normal exterior design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Wayne Posted August 4, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 4, 2012 I think the fake leather top was only for one of the years it was offered. Short lived offering from HO, I think only 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
