Comparing FTX and Rabb in the shop it is hard to see any difference in flex. Testing with a paper cheet both skies seemed to have the same "wax pocket" and Nordic rocker when fully compressed.

Re: Falketind 62 X with Scales

Re: Which ski for heavy skier?

Chriso I purchased my Falketind X the first year it came out. The Rabb was certainly not available at 196cm at the time. I have been quite pleased with the performance of the Falketind X at 196cm for my 190+ pounds. I’m not sure if I wouldn’t be too heavy 20 lbs heavier. The suggestion I am offerin...

Re: Which ski for heavy skier?

We have forgotten to ask what skis you have for the alpine touring setup? A friend of a friend uses EVI Fury as bc/xcd ski. It is 86mm wide, but weight is actually lighter than Rabb and very similar to Falketind 62 XP. It is a much more expensive ski though: https://www.eviski.com/ski-advisor (you ...

Re: Which ski for heavy skier?

I too managed to test my Falketind 62 XP on two short tours this weekend, after mounting them on Friday. Mine are 180 cm though, so shorter, lighter and more maneuverable. The conditions were a mix of hard packed snow and deep corn/loose snow with a thin crust on top. On Saturday with hard snow it ...

Re: Which ski for heavy skier?

@Chriso nice that you had a good time. Flotation comes from stiffness along the length and width underfoot mostly. Agree that wax vs. mohair skins gives comparable glide in powder, more difference on hard snow or prepared tracks. The NATO is a good ski but i would say it's closer to the gamme than ...
