KcSwerver Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I was on their website looking at stuff to fulfill my addiction... And I ran across what looks like a silvretta 500 release but is actually labeled as a "reflex 750 waterski" release. Wonder if there is a difference? Anyone heard anything on it?

Brewski Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Silvretta discontinued making the 500. It appears that Reflex has bought the tooling and is making it themselves now. Same release, but a couple of nice changes to make it easier to read the spring torque settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller MattP Posted June 18, 2014 Baller Share Posted June 18, 2014 Reflex bought the tooling from Silvretta for the 500 and call it the 750 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef23 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 At least they won't keep changing now. I bought three complete setups the last year of the 400 two for my son and one for my trick. Now he needs a new boot and the old boots aren't around. I know you can drill the cleat off on the back and fix but it is a pain. Replacing the releases and buying a new boot for him is a $450 expense which I am trying to avoid. I know the new releases are stronger but I keep an eye on things and I have some backup releases around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mark Petrie Posted June 18, 2014 Members Share Posted June 18, 2014 What size boot does he have? I have 2 size 9 left foot forward that I no longer need as I upgraded to the new version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef23 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 @Mark Petrie he needs the size 10 boot in a left. We have one I decided to go back to the Strada I have instead of spending the money right now. I wasn't totally convinced the Reflex was better for my skiing anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
