 Poster: A snowHead
|
tested a pair of the volkl kendo skis at the weekend t the Glencoe EB demo day and feel in love with them but cant really afford the £500 asking price for skis and bindings...does anyone know if there is a older version of these or if there is somthing similar that i can maybe pick up 2nd hand
loved the kendo as it was wider under boot than im used to, think its 88mm and has a 20m radius, it was great on the hard pack the ice and the soft and i ski in scotland most of the time so conditions can be variable
seen the fischer watea 84 on offer but dont know much about them
any ideas??

These often turn up on SportPursuit at around the £300 mark exc bindings. Good ski, alternatives are the Kastle MX88 but good luck finding them cheaper than the Kendos!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I got some previous season Mantras for a good price from sport bittl, German retailer, they were super helpful and fast delivery. Worth a look on their site.

They've been called the Kendos for the last 3 seasons at least, they just change the graphics each year. Good luck getting a pair, they are epic. I really wanted the Kenja ones, the women's version. So pretty...

enduroaid, it's a poor time to try and get bargains on skis right in the middle of the prime selling season.
I bought a pair of 10/11 Kendos in August 2011 for about £300 inc STH12 bindings from SnowFit in Norwich (by phone and post - excellent service and great skis). Their current price for the 2013 package is about £480. Edge and Wax have a 2012 ski only for £325 so with a bit of haggling you could probably get them for about £400 ish with a suitable binding.
Best bet is to wait until the summer and pick up a deal. Unless you can find someone with some old stock (which seems easier in Europe and almost impossible in the UK)
