Suspects VS AR6 +++++k

[swanton]

I've narrowed it down to these two skis for my one ski quiver this year. I ski east coast, so I will be using them in a variety of conditions. I'm wondering what the pros and cons are for both skis, and which you would recomend. I ski 70% park and 30% all mountain. I'm 5'8" and 130 pounds. So which ski is better?

go with the ar6

i had this same decision a while a go to and went with the ar6

 

[swanton]

Ty, +k, any more opinions?

 

[MarkieR]

i really like the suspect. i've skied them both and i think the suspect is far superior. especially if you want a ski that can do everything well. it's wider, more stable, and i think the graphic is really sick. shouldn't even be a question, suspect all the way.

 

[sirskizalot]

im about the same size as you and i ski ar6's

they're a really fun ski i think but i have never skied the suspects

 

[swanton]

+k, anyone else?

 

[p-oskier]

I would go with the ar6 cause I just love armada skis and how they ride. You will not regret it. But ya they are both great skis.

i love my ar6s

they are suprisingly versatile and obviously dope around park/jibs and stuff

 

[gnarrr]

You'll enjoy both but personally i'd go with ar6.

Thanks guys, +k to everyone. I think I will go with the AR6, but if anyone else still wants to put their 2 cents in, it would be appreciated.

yah my friend got hte AR6's and we were skiin his backyard setup and he loved them so much.

 

[gabfreeski]

if you only do park go with the AR6 but if you do all mountain/park go with the suspect

me I have some suspect and I really like them best ski I ever own

 

[MayorWest]

i had this same situation... i went with the ar6 because they have beefy edges and the suspects dont i put i thread like this up a while ago and people said that suspects get trashed after a while on rails!armadas are pretty durable so i hear so yeah...armads all the way

 

[swanton]

I got it off the Line website. I'll change it though cause it seems like you've been on here longer than me.

 

[JEWbacca]

there both really good but go with armada just cause these are salomons first side wall skis. armada has been doing it for way longer.

 

[gnarmada]

my cousin has ar6 and they are jst about 30% all mtn and 70% park

 

[swanton]

+k, bump

im going to vote ar6, one becuase i rode them last year and loved them, and two because i love armada.

but im looking into getting a pair of suspects as my pipe ski for this winter, ive got 09 thalls right now, but the park i work at is spancerized by salomon and bonfire, so i get huge discounts with solli.

but yea, i vote ar6

 

[swanton]

AR6 It is, +for everyone who replied. Thanks guys.
