2011 Hellbents - Pics and Comparisons

[rozboon]

Just picked up my '11 Bents.179cm mounted at core center with Jesters.
Sorry if this has been done already, searchbar'd and couldn't find shit.Here's some pics with my old ones for comparison:

Side by side

Tips

Tails

Sidecut comparisons

Camber underfoot

Tail rocker

Tip rocker

Carbon stringers? I think.

Height and side by side tip comparison

Side by side tail comparison

Other stuff:They seem stiffer and maybe a little livelierA bit heavier, not sure you'd notice since the old ones weren't exactly feather weight either.

I guess that settles the huge dispute about the new wider dimensions actually being wider.

 

[birdshake]

I doubt they're carbon stringers if they were they would be a straight line woven into the glass. they just look like part of the graphic

 

[Ghini]

Uhm sorry, but you got new hellbents, but they are smaller?? whats that??

 

[Mt_Baker_Man]

dude, killer pedo rapist clown = creepy

I like the early taper, but I'll stick with my 2010's w/out clowns haha

 

[MrLarsen]

Interesting comparison pics! +k

Looks like they've added some early taper and given it a larger sidecut radius..

 

[Session]

Old ones barely look skied.

im curious what was wrong with your old hellbents from 2 years ago? id like to know how much of a difference that 10mm underfoot is making.. lawlz
enjoy your new skis anyway, legit set up.

 

[schmies]

It is carbon.

I found this to be quite funny.

 

[steep]

do want

you should measure the actual length of them, be a bit interested to see what it is

 

[rozboon]

Long story short, the core on the left one got water damaged and turned to mush, they won't hold on to a binding any more. They've got about 50 days on them.The southern hemisphere season has a couple more weeks left so hopefully I'll get to ski them in some spring slush and give some feedback on them.
mrstskier, what measurement do you want exactly? Chord length tip-tail, actual length, contact length? I'll break out the measuring tape later.

 

[Balto]

actual length, Bents have always run about 5cm long, and they look shorter then the old ones in your pics

 

[evanheath]

send em to me! ill pay shipping

 

[-ShredTheGnar-]

k2 is supposed to be running true length this year right?

 

[DHogg]

Yes.

 

[T.DUDE]

gawd, that is such a dope lookin ski.!

 

[shr@gler]

fuckin sick skis. I just mounted my 189's and cant wait to shred them!

 

[Ghini]

Sooo they still are shorter when you buy them at the same length?

 

[fuck.your.tits]

my 159 domains are actually not 159. They come to the top of my head and I'm 163. But just to make sure I broke out the measuring tape, and they measured at 163.

 

[zerospinskier]

Man those things are sexy. I still can't believe they made them wider though. My old 189s already feel like I'm skiing with windmills on my feet.
