It isn't the width, it is the shape (the difference between 88 and 92 isn't really the story). I don't agree that the V92 is the "holy grail" for you but for the fact that it is 92 instead of 88. he knows this line of skis really well and is giving you the right answer without necessarily "showing his work" or telling you explicitly what he is picking up by intuition. #VMT CONSTRUCTION HOW TO#But if you don't know how to do that or engage the ski properly, it will actually be worse (initially) than a looser shape with less tip engagement which would likely be easier, more fun and make you feel like a hero. For example, I think it is true that the V92 is "better" for carving groomed terrain if you have some basic, modern carving chops. There is no objective "better" - it really depends on a bunch of factors, the individual skier being a big one. and some of your assumptions aren't resonating with reality. I think that part of the problem is that you might be over thinking this a bit and that some of the language being used here, in magazines, etc. And the Evolv will be easier to manage off piste if your narrative is really cruise the blues, hit some soft snow, hit some bumps from time to time. On the other hand, if you are standing on the center of the ski, "cruising leisurely" I think that the looser shape of the Evolv 90 is better suited to that style, without giving up much connection and having comparable stability and snow feel. IF you are driving the ski and actively pressuring the tips. is right that the V92 is "better" and more engaging on groomers. The Evolv 90 does so many things well, you forget its limitations even trying to find them is a stretch.īased on what you have said in the other thread, I actually think that the Evolve is better suited for "your preferred style of skiing" which you described as "leisurely cruising" blue groomers. Many including myself have concluded that if you are going to have one ski to do most things, 90 mm is not a bad way to go. Why choose the Evolv 90? You want one ski to rule them all.Why choose the V92? You have a PSIA or other technical background and want a wider ski - but you still want the tail to follow the tip through all turns in all conditions. #VMT CONSTRUCTION SERIES#Liberty's designers knew they had a good thing going with the VMT construction, so they went to the well once more and used it in a more off-piste/all-mountain shape, melding it with many of the attributes that made the Origin series popular. What did Liberty do as an encore for this season? Well, it smartly offered the V76 and V82 in women’s models, and it complemented the V-Series with the Evolv 90 and Evolv 100. The V92 (as well as its narrower siblings, the V76 and V82) quickly became a darling not only of our testers but of you the reader, too. How did this newfound love come to be? The V-Series boasts its Vertical Metal Technology (VMT) construction and a unique shape with an extended sidecut and low tip profile. why can’t we all just get along? No more long car rides with “He’s touching me” or “She’s looking at me.” As we discovered last year, Liberty became an overnight success with our readers, and it only took the company a bit over a decade to do so. ![]()
