Salomon 1080's. durable?

[cool_catskier]

ive heard alot about them losing there pop after like 20 days, due to the foam core, is this true?

 

[Skipig25]

hahahahaha

i am on my 3rd pair since the second wave blue and white teneighties, and they have all held up really well.

I've sold hundreds over the years and never had one come back for going flat. New Spaceframe reinforces the structure anyway and Salomon's powerfoam has been used since the late 80's.

 

[cool_catskier]

so would u say last years are comparable to last year ar5's?

 

[jpro]

my 1080's broke for no reason the first year I got them...

so if you break them the first year salomon will give you new skis loll

 

[dirty_dreb]

can someone say delam?

 

[Matty.]

All I know is that they delam easy, and the edges are weak.

 

[Summit1]

everything delams when you stomp 50 gaps and nose press boxes. if the manufacturer is standing behind it thats all you can hope for - and a good local shop to hook it up.

 

[Pklink04]

see you cant compair the 1080s to the AR5s

AR5=Good Ski

1080=Bad Ski

New England Armada rep works here. Wants you to know they won't blow up. I'll give you his cell if they do

Armada's construction has become tighter over the years and they're still improving; always. Either way IMHO the AR5 and the 1080 are the two best AM twins on the market.

armada>1080

Id go AR5s hands down if i were you!

 

[ski-or-die]

1080's shouldn't fall apart if they do the shop that sold them to you should hook you up with a new pair or at least help you out with any warenty issues.

i dunno though i find there is something about riding foam cores that just doesn't feel right.

 

[LeBlanc]

dont get 1080's. thats all I can say. Please, just get something else, like PE's or AR5's

 

[matthasaurusrex]

the old school 1080s, (blue) were absolutly durable

 

[cjgncjgn]

i had the 1080's the edges come right out. they are light and spin well but are TERRIBLE for switch landings. Save your money, buy some invaders. They are better than 1080's by far and cheaper too

line invaders!

I had the spacefram 1080's a couple years ago and they delamed for no reason.

 

[wgjibber]

I have the orange 181's from 2yrs ago and they have been freakin awsome. I put them through hell and back, both on the mountain and getiing thrown around in the back of my truck and garage. They are no good for jumping anymore, cause i smashed the edges in multiple places, but they still are gettin the job done on urban rails. This is the first pair of skis that has lasted me longer than one season, i'm impressed with them.

 

[jambone]

they're durable if ur a light skier. I was 120 when i used my 161s and had no problem. my friend had the 171s and he was 170 and he broke the core

 

[madmasta_jib]

the foils have a totally new construction. They are much wider and seem to hold up better. The thrusters are just the same as last years specs. Besides... the new foils look wicked sick

 

[cool_catskier]

so far, ive heard negative and positive things about 1080s, no negative about ar5, i think i shall get the ar5!

 

[pinner-]

salomon has the best edges out there. i havent broke an edge and in 3 years riding on them..
