whick is lighter?

which is flexier?

which is more durable?

WHICH IS BETTER? (for 65% park, 30% all-mountain, 5% other)
 
whick is lighter?

AR6 is probably a little lighter, haven't held them at the same time to compare weight.

which is flexier?

Karma is stiffer by far!

which is more durable?

toss up.
 
if you are a smaller rider, i'd suggest the ar6 because it's considerably softer. if you're bigger or you charge pretty hard, get the karma. it's super solid and really really fun.
 
not to be a dick, but please, just buy your gear no questions asked. one thread is fine, but you have like, 9, that are easily found using the search tool
 
whick is lighter: id say there fairly similar

which is flexier: AR6

which is more durable: by what ive herd on NS karma...Ar6 aint doin dat bad eider do
 
i just got a pair of karmas and they do great in the park and are very very fun in pow and crud. they are preatty stiff but i heard they soften up alot.
 
i'd say that the karmas are both heavier and stiffer but probadly more durable and ski better all over the mountain

 
the ar6 were made a little stiffer than the ar5 was last year. this is mainly to make it a better all mtn ski. it is also very light. i recommend
 
i would reccomend the karma, but i am biased as i have only skied that, dope on rails, dope in the air, KILL the powder and crud, dope in trees(as long as you are strong)...stiff though...but if u like stiff skis...(like me) then you have no problems!
 
no they weren't, you obviously haven't flexed or skied both, cause the AR6 is softer than last years AR5, no question.
 
i own some karmas and they rip the shit out of bc and anything like that. but park i don't think they are so hot on. but i have heavy bindings also they are really stiff. lighter i'd say ar6

more flex i'd say ar6

more durable: my karmas are pretty durable, a little chipped though

i'd say go for ar6, that is the next ski i think i am going to get. they sound great especially for park.
