Nano One change 2012 to 2014 ?

[fpjl]

Has the nano one changed from 2012 to 2014?

Have opportunity to get a 2012 but didn't know if there waere any changes made from that year to the present year model.

The new ski is the Nano OneXT, which is definitely different from the Nano One. I don't know all the details, but it's certainly more than just a "model year."

@fpjl @Than_Bogan‌ I think what he was asking, is if he wanted the Nano One if he got a 2012 used would it be the same as ordering a new Nano One from the factory. My guess is yes, but if you were to order a new ski, you should try the XT! Just my 2 cents.

 

To get the whole story call GOODE and ask. Ext 155 is Rick.

[GOODESkier]

@OB how did you measure the EVERY respect? Or was it a feel thing? Just curious.

@OB Jump on the D3 Helix ...

@fpjl‌ The XT also approaches LFF and RFF bias differently. The N1 used different layups and the XT has different rocker on each side.

@SkiJay‌ Doesn't that make it a "twist"?

[SkiJay]

@Wish I've heard that, but Goode calls it "asymmetric rocker."

[Than_Bogan]

Perhaps there's more than just symantics at work ("twist" vs. "asymmetric rocker"), because I recall that the Twist was polarizing -- some loved and some hated -- whereas it seems like the XT is almost universally well-liked? Or maybe it just hasn't been out long enough for the honeymoon to end and me to hear from the folks who don't like it!?

@SkiJay @Than_Bogan‌ It's kinda like the label Global Warming has turned into Climate Change. Same thing but one has gotten the stink eye so say it differanty.

[ForrestGump]

If the tip and tail are level, you can't have two different curvatures in between without it being twisted somewhere.

[Wish]

@ShaneH‌ that's what I was thinking. Doesn't make sense.

I am with @OB, I have a very early N1 and hope to get another season or 2 out of it.

[Than_Bogan]

If I'm understanding @scotchipman correctly, yet another way to think about it is that the Twist features a "net twist" -- i.e. the angle of the surface continues to rotate in one direction. Whereas the XT might be called a "bend" or a "ripple" or ... how 'bout "asymmetric rocker" -- i.e. there is some change of the surface angle in the middle but then it rotates back.

So I guess I agree with Goode's terminology: Typically when we use the word "twist" I think we mean a continued increase in angle as we go. Apparently the XT doesn't do that (taking scot's word for it).

I can't bear to read the wacky speculation in this thread. Makes me want to jump off a roof.

 

(I am actually on my rental house roof right now. I hate ladders and heights.)

We have had at least 5 Nano one skis made in different time frames ( within 14 months) and as long as I measure with tips, not jaws, they all ski almost identical. If we set the fin up with jaws it's not the same, which means the fin settings were coming up dramatically different. (I have written about this before) I left one in South Africa and one at my house in TX and if I wouldn't have had one made in green to be different, I'm not sure I could have told you which was which. The two skis were made almost 12 months apart. Changing liners actually seems more significant and messes with me. I carried those back and forth when possible.

@OB‌ you don't want my job. It has proven to be extremely bad for my skiing scores. We didn't need 5 skis. Two of them friends grabbed and just replaced ours with a new one.
