Poster: A snowHead
|
I am wanting some rossignol bandits 2. Have read the reviews and look ace. i skied on bandit 1s 2 season ago and thougtht they were good. I used to race and love fast skiing and also off piste so b2's seem the ones to get. Im 5'8" 13 stone so wud size 176 or 180 do me? who has a pair and what they think?

chrisski,
Best to trawl back and cheery pick this as B2 reveiews and comments are very numerous.
But for all that the 178 will do you mostly.
But although they are good on piste if you track pretty quickly you might want a better piste ski.
Off piste they are very good
There is also a post showing what next years B2's will look like. Posted by Enoch

chrisski, I've got a pair of the 176s, and I love them to bits. They're nice to carve on, nice and springy, good in the crud, and pretty good in powder. The only area that I find them slightly weak on is ice, but I've never liked that very much anyway, and just choose to turn at the sides. I've got the last model, not the latest one that has come out this week. I've skied on B2s for the last 2 years, and XXs for the two years before that, so I'm a little biased. With your size and weight I would suggest the 170s would be the most suitable size. The 170s and 176s tend to be a little more difficult to get hold of, often shops can't get them in stock before they sell out.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Hmm. I skied on 170s at about chrisski's weight a couple weeks back. I didn't quite click with them, partly because they din't seem quite springy enough. Maybe I had too short a length.

Nick Zotov, surely it all comes down to personal preference?

Nick Zotov,
I'm over 6 ft and nearly 13st and the B2 in 178 was very good in deep snow.
Not that crazy about it elsewhere but it excelled in the deep which I think is its forte.
And I'm sure the size said it was 178...!!

I'm about the same weight, and about 4 inches taller.
On piste I ski 170s, off, 179s

Wear The Fox Hat, I'm beginning to think that's what I should be looking at, too.

The wife has a pair of 176cm B2s (not the B2Ws) still in the shrink wrap, together with Axial 120Pro bindings, which are surplus to requirements. Would probably be open to offers if anyone is interested.
