Gimmick IMO. Didn't try them myself at the mondial but others did and the switch between soft and hard seemed to be ridiculously easy to flip leading me to the conclusion that many people would accidently end up skiing with one soft one hard. Proper GS or SL skis if she's really all abouthigh speed pistes??

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

I haven't tried them but my feeling that skis get too much of a bashing to have anything 'flick' into another mode inadverently.
Dynastar Legend Power Pluses get good reviews all round, I think

Mike Lawrie, tried them at the PSB and as fatbob says the switch was far too easy to move. Having said that they were great skis for on piste carving and I think they are also available at a lower cost without the switch?

The switch is supposed to be easy to move! Have you seen the effect on the rods throughout the ski it has?
If you put them in your hand on soft and flick the "no effort" switch you can genuinely feel the difference on piste and in store. The switch is easy because the rods only need to travel up the ski by a few millimetres to change the flex of the ski-Anymore and(imo) they would be like iron bars under your feet!
Volkl advertise that it changes the flex by 11%, a substantial increase, particularly if you are sensitive to flex changes.

letitsnow on the pair i tried at the psb the switch was so loose it was virtually swivelling around by itself which to my mind is far too loose
i agree that you can easily feel the difference but you may not want the skis to change from one setting to another by themselves!

You say your wife likes skiing off-piste, these are very narrow-waisted skis.

Alexandra, Up till now we have always skied on long and skinnies. She was on a pair of Voelkl P30 race carvers (185cm) for the last eight years, so these are absolutely obese in comparison
