The stranger looks like a super interesting ski. I want to know how it compares to the something like the ct 2.0.

More directional, slightly stiffer, heavier, even smaller turn radius. Looks like a real fun ski
 
Bumping this thread. Been trying to find more info on it. Might be full sidewall? There’s a clip of hornbeck hitting park jumps on them on ig. Wonder what the edge thickness is gonna be..?

I have a pair, but I haven't skied them yet and I won't get to until summer/fall. They don't have a full sidewall, it's a semi-cap with the sidewall extending to the rocker zones as with the new ARV models (AR75 Sidewall). I believe the edges are the same as the ARVs (except that they aren't full wrap), that's also what it says in the catalog, but I don't have them in my hand right now to eyeball it. What else do you want to know?

How do they hand flex?

How flexible Are they? Thanks
 
They're damp enough for a soft ski to really ski it anywhere with some confidence. I was a big fan of them during a test event they did last December.

Does it ski super directional? The rocker profile looks pretty symmetrical, but there's a pretty big difference between the tip and tail widths. Also, whats the recommended mount point? Wondering if this skis more like a Sakana, or an ARV.
