Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
I have just returned from a trip, and really got in well with the Redster x9wb and wk dered what skis are equivelant in terms of specs.
I can't seem to find any of the X9 available to buy.
Thanks in advance.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

The standard X9 is a mid radius "punter" race ski, it is in between the S9 (slalom) and G9 (giant slalom) in terms of radius. It is a very common high performance piste ski here in Austria.
The X9WB is a "wide body" version of this ski that claimed to be a little easier to handle in softer snow. I'm not sure that the extra width underfoot with the same stiffness as the regular X9 is a particularly good match and I believe they have dropped this ski from the range this year.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Are you UK based? A very quick Google search “X9 for sale UK” threw up about 5 options….couldn’t be arsed to look further.

Agreed, one does see quite a few of them over here. An Austrian mate of mine (ex-Austria race development squad) reckons they’re superb….guess he should know.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

If you're interested in a non-WB second hand pair of X9s in 169cm, I have some for sale...

The Q9 is the current model equivalent.
