They're symmetrical but I doubt you mount center, or do you?what did you guys mount them at142 128 142 are the dimensions I think
 
symmetrical skis should always be mounted center, thats why they are symmetrical. my friends are center and they ski fine
 
There are two mount lines, core center, and suggested. The suggested mount is like 5 cm back from center (where mine are mounted at). I rode a pair last year at core center, and they had a constant going over the handle bars feel in pow. If you do nothing but backcountry booters, center might be fine, but if you ever ski the pow instead of jumping over it, you should mount them boot center. I mounted mine this year at boot center, and I have been told the feeling is much better in pow.

Hope that helps, since unlike the two before, I have actually ridden them.
 
i have mine mounted in between the two mounting points and it is great. they will ski switch very well there but like someone else said they have less chance for tip dive than if they were at true center. i really like them there, let me know if you have any other questions
 
Same mount as him^^^. In between the mounting points. Only skied em 3 times in the spring but they seemed good. Stoked to try em in some pow.
 
i guess i will never understand why everyone thinks its such a sin to mount a symmetrical ski somewhat back. volkl has 2 suggested spots and depending on the way you ski you can choose where you want them. if you ski a ton switch and are constantly landing switch in pow then obviously go center, if not go back a bit cuz they will ski much better with a little extra tip.

i just dont get why everyone thinks its so bad to mount slightly back when everyone tries to center mount non symmetric skis. its the same thing
