These bad boys shouldn't be reccomended to just the lighter riders, I rocked a pair of 170cm's and I'm 6'2 185lbs, and they owned the entire mountain...park, groomed, moguls, absolute domination

Best all mountain twin of '06, Foam-core Shrmoam-core...Foils rip it up, and if you guys have doubts to the strength of a foam core, I snapped a pair of Force FRX's in half from just a backseat landing, but I didn't see the Foils snapping like twigs
 
some because of the foam cores.. i think you'll be cool with them, but i hear next year they're goin to wood cores.
 
Uh... you're 6'2 185 and you decided 170 was the length for you?

Because they make a 182... and I agree... pretty much anyone could ride them... they're just soft.
 
im also 6' 2" 185lbs...wierd....i have the 176 cms and their okay...chatter on the east coast ice like a mofo though...thats the lighter rider comment
 
I prefer shorter skis, and they're 176 actually, my bad...I don't find them that soft at all, but I guess I'm coming off a pair of Force FRX noodles so anything would seem stiff
 
ya my friend is the same size (6'1 180 and hes 15 kinda weird dont ask) and he rides them fine on the 174s. whoever is sayin ther for lighter riders is crazy
