Ugh this thread again.. 
Interested in the Steeple 116 or BG for my tour ski next year. If all goes well, pretty sure I'm gonna get an actual tour set up. Tech binders and everything.
What is the biggest difference between BG and S116?
Just a tour layup and slightly different tail? Man I really wanna try out the new BG/Steeple shape.
Also, just and idea, but I think a thinner, more job oriented version of the C+D would be sick.

Just the layup and tail.
I think if you're going pure tour with the setup, go Steeple 116. BGs are HEAVY. IMO, I'd go for a 108 as a tour setup given that it'd be lighter and still able to ski 99.9% of the stuff you would take a 116 out in.

I'm thinking the same thing. Need a replacement for an everyday ripper.

My guess would be to spread out their demand, they hand make all their skis so it's probably easier being able to make and ship orders throughout the whole summer, without having to make them and sell out right when their line drops and play catch up the whole winter

We're not a publically traded company who has to worry about fitting in ski sales at the end of a fiscal year with half the ski season still left, and we don't believe it is healthy for the industry to be putting out new products that are unavailable for 8 months while right in the middle of the current year's product cycle. As such, you will see us shift more and more to a product cycle that makes sense for a brand our size, rather than the one dictated by a 20 year old, outdated business model.
Glad everyone is liking the skis for next year!
Magnus, Kartel 98, Kartel 116 = greatest quiver of all time. I can't think of anything you can't do on that.
Still pumped that the Wren 88 and 98 became a reality, people on the east coast kept asking for something like that and they rip so hard. I don't know why people were so afriad of the 102s, but they kept asking for a 98 and I would always think "you know that's only 4mm smaller, right?"

The K116 has a tip and tail shape, along with new straight taper, that makes it float and smear better in soft snow than the J114 did. It also has an updated rocker profile that is more gradual and elongated, with a slightly lower tail for stability at speed.
Both are fun skis, but we felt the K116 was the next progression for something that is used in Powder and post-pow, more than not, at that width.
We are very happy with the K116 and why you see it back next year, unchanged, other than graphic update.

Didnt feel like making a brand new thread so ill just post here. Does anyone know how the kartel 98's break in? I just got a used pair that had seen very little park and were in great condition. I got them mounted at true center and they are pretty stiff. Will they become more playful over time?
Know it's the 2018 thread but I'll ask here:
Anyone played around with mount point on Jeffrey's (specifically 114, but I'd imagine OG and Kartel 116 respond similarly).
On the line the only way to go? How about 1, 2 cm behind the line?
Debating whether it's worth mounting these with attack demos, or just do STH2 16s on the line. Both are options

Permanent place in the quiver.

I didn't want another pair of skis until I saw these.
The Beasts just fit it too.

Different than the BG obviously. I spent 4 years on BG's and the last 2 on K116. I honestly could own both. With the BG getting the nod when conditions are hovering near freezing, and tracked out.
I think the K116 still has the float, and playfulness of the Jeffery, but with a better overall design that is better in the crud.
Maybe in the future we will get a C&D a little slimmed down with a BG rocker profile. That would be hot.

Yes please. Not sure what role it would fill in a quiver, but hey, who ever said overlap was a bad thing?

wouldnt go that fat for a tour ski...considering 80 percent of our touring out here includes corn. youlle just be carrying weight.
get the regular BG with alpine bindings and a separate tech setup...steeple 108

Anyone from the factory want to talk about the difference in the customs when it comes to using less carbon or the softer 19oz glass?
Thanks!
Thanks!

if you go softer fiberglass and softer carbon, how much a difference does it actually make?
Looking at getting a pair of kartel 108s to replace my 106's that i sold and I LOVED how they skied after 3 seasons of riding. They charged through anything i took them through and i was able to butter them how i wanted. But I want something just as playful out of the box. My biggest concern is with taking that stiffness out of the ski, am I going to lose a lot of that power and stability going through chop and chunder? It'll be a do it all ski, deep days in utah when im out there, whatever "pow" days we get at home as well as trips up to NH and VT, fat park ski, and something i can haul ass on groomers with. But im just loooking for that same playfulness I had with my broken in kartels.
