Mounting Kartel 98

[duckets]

Im planning on copping a pair of kartel 98s to be used almost solely in the park aside from an occasional groomer run here and there. I have read that the suggested is -4 / -4.5 cm from true center. That just seems to far back for the park. I am currently on true center mounted filthy riches, which I believe is the same camber and rocker profile...would mounting true center on the Kartels be a bad idea? There's no way I am going -4, but -1 or -2 maybe, I am just worried about an awkward swing weight. Help is much appreciated

Id go center if 75/25 park to mountain or more. Go -1 or -2 back if like 50/50 park to all mountain

Recommended is -3.75 from true center. I'm not sure if I would go center, but -2 or -1 isn't a bad idea. Karl rides at -1. I ride my 106s at like -2ish I think. It's honestly not that far back at all.

Id do -1 or -2

The binding platform of the ski and the core thickness are optimized for the mount mark. However, the ski was designed with true center in mind. I believe many on the team do have their personal pairs mounted forward of the rec. line, so hell yeah, go ahead and put them where you want. -2 based on what you wrote sounds prime.

Mine are at -1 and I could not be happier with how they ski In and out of the park
