What you described here is 99% what I felt when I was riding original JJ 2.0. Looks like tip and tail splay is a bit less agressive now? Looking forward for the comparison with the original jj’s!
Can you comment on the mount point? You mention it in the preview, but I can’t see it being discussed in the full review. Also, is there any chance to get someone of your more directional guys on the longest version (maybe new AK JJ)?
Knizepan,
I started out with it at the -2.5 mount, and really liked it there, it felt balanced without feeling too short. The demo bindings won’t go all the way back to the other -6 cm mount point with my BSL, so I haven’t ridden it there yet, I did take a few laps at -4 cm and didn’t notice too much of a difference though.
And that’s an interesting note on the longer version, it would probably be a very good comparison ski to skis like the 192 Bent Chetler, which some of our more directional skiers have liked.
Thanks for super fast response Cy.
Did you like it more on -2.5 or -4? I skied line opus and bacons for the last couple of years and really like the centre stance. Thanks.
Hi all, have you tried them with bindings on the 6cm line?
Any comparison to Fatypus D’Riddim?
Any updates on performance in conditions other than soft spring snow?
Are these only mens skis ? Im a girl and would love to get them but not sure if theyd be too heavy
Have you plans for testing the JJ 116 UL?
Hy Cy !
I looked at the photos of the Armada ARV 116 2018/19 Version you posted with your Review.
The bindings canˋt be at -2,5 cm in these photos,can they?
It looks as if they are all the way at the back!
I just had the 2019/2020 version mounted at the „freestyle“ position printed on the top sheet(as opposed to the more backward „factory recommended“ position),
which I suppose would correspond to the -2,5 cm Position. And my skis look almost Center-mounted!
Have I got something wrong ? A comment would be much appreciated ! Thanks in advance!
Did you mix up tip and tail? :D :D :D
I skied several days last year with a guy who was on Armada ARV 116’s. He could leave railroad tracks on firm roughed up groomers at mach schnell. The suspension of this ski appeared to be superlative.
2022 Arv 116 JJ is stiffened up tip and tail and I would be curious how you feel about the new seal tweaks?
