Basically what the title says they just came in today and off the bat they feel super solid just holding them they are also insanely light so I’m getting them mounted with squires tmr and I’ll ride them and let everyone know if there good or not since no one really has done a review
Bought a pair of commencal absolut park skis
- Thread starter AXBOSS77
- Start date
So basically earlier in the year I posted a thread asking about a pair of super light skis and after getting multiple responses such as the arv 86s etc someone commented and said commencal makes a super light park ski and did some research and found out it’s a bike company from Colorado who also makes skis and once I look at the weight being 1260 grams per ski I knew I needed to try them so I saved up and ordered them and got them today gonna be honest I don’t know much about them and went off on a whim and trusted someone from new schoolers but I’m getting them mounted tmr and I’ll let everyone know how they are

Andorran mountain bike company now making skis. Bikes are a little heavy so kinda funny to me the skis are so light
So here is the official review of the commencal absolut 176 ski
TIPS BEFORE BUYING
if you ride park please get them de tuned they are incredibly sharp. I went to set a front 270 and cought my inside edge and ended up sacking the rail because how sharp they were.
PROS
stupid light obviously
very springy espically doing flat ground Ollie’s you pop a lot higher
sharp which can be good and bad
great on jumps ( completely opposite of what I thought they feel amazing in air)
good feeling on rails
easy to get used too ( coming from the guy with a 22lb previous setup)
very flexible underfoot
dont chatter
full side wall
dope graphic that looks 100x better in person
Overall after just one day there are by far my fav ski
CONS
the 176s are actually 175 after measuring which isn’t that big of a deal
right Out of the box they had bubbles under the top shear in the tails (makes me worried for the future)
def not a downhill ski after riding down hill and park today I can tell there made for park
sometimes there so flexy they feel uncomfortable
very very sharp
OVERALL
if your thinking of buying them honestly I’d say go for it the pros way out weigh the cons and for the price they are overall great and I highly recommend and honestly I’m not sure why they aren’t as popular.
