2009 vs. 2010 Hellbents

[markdykstra]

I'm looking into 2009 or 2010 Hellbents because 2011 seem not different enough for the huge price jump. There is also a jump from 2009 to 2010 but it seems like they are almost identical. I would appreciate it if anybody knew about a big downfall with the 2009s compared to the 2010s.

08-09-10 Hellbents are all identical apart from the topsheets and maybe the rivets in them. Same plank.11 and 12 Hellbents are 1cm wider over the whole length, have early taper, are stiffer, have slighhhhhht camber underfoot, and have carbon stringers.
Having skied both, the '11 is a better ski than the '09s I was on.
