Nice to hear. Just bought a pair of Rustler 9 188, today. Heard so much great about them, including in this great video. Can't wait to try them out. Regards from Sweden.
First use with my Bent 90s in New Zealand this year and loved them, I’m probably lower intermediate and found them so easy to turn and user friendly in my first experience in powder
Hey there! I am planning on buying a pair as well. Could you specify on how are they on slopes in general? I read that they are fun for trees, moguls, park and some powder, but I worry that I will lose the fun on slopes if I buy these. Thanks in advance!
@@eugenedvorskyi4944 hey mate, they’re really light and easy to manoeuvre and I found them really nice and soft over bumps compared to everything I’ve ever hired..on the groomers I thought they were good considering my technique isn’t great yet at carving properly so someone with good technique should be happy although there are better carving all mountain skis out there. I was always going to get the Blizzard Rustler 9 before these came out and I’d still like to try them to compare especially to see if I’d notice any differences in carving at my level..ultimately I chose the Bents because they sounded just a bit easier to turn off piste as that’s where I struggle the most and the reviews said they carve fine and they look sensational haha..I’m 5’10, 97kg and got the 175cm for reference, I did notice a bit at speed some chatter of the ski tips so I’d also be interested in comparing the Rustlers and also the Elan Ripsticks as they sound similar just not as playful but better at carving at speed especially at my weight. But the Bents honestly felt strong enough for my weight at speed anyway..I didn’t have the opportunity to try all 3 which would’ve be great but I’m pretty happy overall anyway and think I would’ve been happy regardless which ski I got out of those.

@@eugenedvorskyi4944 they’re a lighter ski than I’m used to, so you really feel everything, super controllable, you should have a great time in any conditions, about to go test them some more in Colorado this week!
@@eugenedvorskyi4944 also, there’s a video of a skier (forgot their name sorry) using the Bent 90’s as a racing ski and they were killing it, for the money you can’t beat it
At our shop we put lots of customers on the Rustler 9, Volkl Kendo 88, Brahma 88, Enforcer 94 and Mantra M6. My personal favorite is the Deacon 84. For the customers that want to skin in the resort the Blaze 94 with Shift binding. My personal ski in that category is the new Blizzard Hustle 10. By the way Blizzard has a total redesign on the Rustler/ Sheeva series for 2024.
We definitely see a lot of our customers go out on those skis as well. The new rustlers are great! Definitely going to be a top pick for us next season
I appreciate reviews like this as there are soooo many skis out there so thank you for that and the nod to new comer products is clutch. Do you have a video for reviewing women’s skis?
I'm on the 82Ti's....a blast all around...I can ski full tilt fast zero chatter, full on carve no fear and make ruckus through the bush trails and trees smiling the whole way....
I find it amazing that younger skiers think they have to have something 100mm under foot to ski powder. If you must have something that wide you really can't ski powder.
I live in NY and just bought the Nordica Enforcer 94. Where do they fall in this list? I got them to replace a 2014/2015 Volkl Kendo which chatter too much and I find myself overpowering them on hard pack. That last straw was hitting Okemo last year on a VT trip and being absolutely miserable skiing groomers all day because there was no snow in the glades.
I would put the Enforcer 94 in with the Rustler 9 for all mountain one quiver ski. However it has two Titanal laminates and will feel more damp on firm conditions. I have both in my quiver.
Thanx for the video, I’m a advanced to expert skiër 176cm and 84kg. 40 weeks experiance. Wich ski length for the Montero AX 173 or 178 cm? Thanx you very much for the answer
@@whoisthe1412 Hard to say but the Captis is a bit more stable at speed and we found that the Bent 90 was a bit more manageable at lower speeds. Hopefully this helps
The AX's are the closest to a magic carpet I've ever skied. Love them. But, because of price and also just out of curiosity, I got Bodie's new Peak 88's. They handle any terrain and conditions effortlessly and responsively. I'm very happy with them. BTW, I put Tyrolia Protector bindings on them.
Just bought and tried my Rustler 9. By far one of the best all-around skis out there. Highly recommend
Good to hear. Just purchased the rustler 9 today. Have the Bushwhacker. Was between the Rustler 9 and the Brahma 88

Been running the Elan wingman this season, very easy to initiate and will rock when laid over for the groomers
absolutely love my Bent 90s for bumps and trees! they're so reactive, light and fun.
Love my Bent 90’s

For the budget option, why Wingman 78 TI vs. 82 TI or 82 CTI?
I ski the East. Can’t beat the Salomon 84 stance for price and performance. All mountain all weather no problem.
How would you say the Line Blade Optic 96 compares to these? Is that as still as the Nordica Enforcer, or not quite?

173 or 178 cm?

I'd go for 178
I've skied for over 60 years. As a front side skier, I love Volkl !! I have 3 pair.
Volkl has more than 50% of the world wide market share . . .
That’s great! What is your favorite Volkl ski
@@winteriscalling3063 Volkl Racetiger SC
Deacon 84
@@winteriscalling3063 Racetiger sl & Kendo
Can you review women skis as well please?🙏🏻🙏🏻
No Volkl Kendo??!!
What about the Black Crows Captis?
The Captis is great! Shares some similarities to the bent 90
@@winteriscalling3063 which one is better?
@@whoisthe1412 Hard to say but the Captis is a bit more stable at speed and we found that the Bent 90 was a bit more manageable at lower speeds. Hopefully this helps
What about k2 mindbender 90c?
Not a bad option if you are a bit on the lighter side. An option with metal will offer more stability
Nice top, but please next time show flex on camera and compare skies for flex
I want those Stöcklis soo bad why are they $2000 😢
All Stocklis have always been overpriced. They are very well made but don't ski any better than the other top brands.
kauf dir augment die sind besser und nicht so teuer
