Salomon foils

[leone]

i just demoed them a couple of days ago and i loved them. they hold a great edge and are nice and light and snappy. i'm just curious about the durability and longevity of the ski cause i know they have a foam core. is it gonna lose it's pop after a season or two?

I never had a ski *not* lose its pop after a season or two.

any ski will lose its pop over a course of 100 days on the slopes and just because the 1080s have a foam core it doesnt mean the suck, why would such a well known company make something that is shit, i just got a pair of foils and the are just as poppy and spingy as my fujatives

the foam makes the ski feel realy nice n lite but if u ski alot after a year that will all be gone

Tried out a friends this weekend for a few funs...felt alot different than the 1080s of past..in my opinion seems like they are steppin it up!!

wait for next years 1080s... you get an illin ski and SICK graphics.

well the reason the foils are sooooo much better is because they adapted the spaceframe technology ontop of the nose and tail and it makes the ski torsional more stable........spaceframes are nice because they have like no swing weight.. like when you 270 onto a rail or box you will tend to spin but with the 1080s you wan really control that rotatio its nice, plus i mean i get new skiis every year so it doesnt matter if the lose pop after 60 days cause ill just get new ones

where can you see the new 1080 graphics

 

[skibummer]

I saw them too they are white with wicked red and blue graphics on them.

The Foil boots are the same colors as the skis.

Impressive.
