Invader's or AR6's?

[MacDaddy]

Just wanted to know some pros and cons on the 09 Invaders and 09 AR6s.

AR6's are stiffer, heavier, wider and non symmetrical, so pretty much more of an all mountain ski. Invaders are lighter, more narrow, symmetrical, and softer. Invaders are more of a jibbing ski. As far as durability Armada trumps the Invaders.

ar6 if your not 100% park.

 

[MacDaddy]

well i ride park alot like 95% of the time. and i ride urban a few times a year. I only ride pow like twice a year so thats not a huge concern of mine.

 

[Balto]

ar6 for sure. then you wont have to worry about getting new skis next season

invaders if pure park but ar6 if u 50park 50groomers

 

[ice_mike]

if you like a very flexible ski go with the invaders but i would choose the AR6's

Get the chronics then. Something in between the two.

i disagree with the heavier, i own both and my AR6's with marker jesters are easily lighter than my invaders with look p10's

 

[MacDaddy]

thanks. now the next question is center mounted?? or not?

 

[CFSGabe]

Invaders you have to center mount there is only one position on them, for the AR6 you can play around with it more, but since you said 95% park I would go more toward center. what size are you looking for, I have two demo skis from last year in mint condition 161 and 171
