Salomon 2012 Preview

thank you salomon! this years enduro is a fantastic ski shape wise, and seem more rugged than the rossignol equivalent, but too rich for my pocket. i will stay on the crossmax 10s for another couple of months and go for something mid range here unless the rossignol experience floats my boat.

What are the sizes/ dimensions of the 2012 shogun?

When do the new 2012 models come available for sale? I want the new 2012’s so bad. They look hot and the Aussie season is only 3 month away!!

Owen - the 2012 Shogun has the same sizes and dimensions as last year.

Length (cm) / Dimension (tip-waist-tail - mm) / Radius (m):

164 / 126-97-116 / 20.6 173 / 128-99-118 / 23.1 182 / 130-101-120 / 25.9 191 / 132-103-122 / 28.7

Dan - In the northern hemipshere, some Salomon models are already in the shops (e.g. the BBR) but won’t be released en masse until around October this year ahead of winter 2012. However I have no idea if you guys down under get stuff early given the timing of your winter.

Hi, What´s the weight and the price of the salomon suspect 2012?

hello, what’s the price for 2012 enduro xt800

Are the Salomon Lady skis (153) going to be available in NZ in July/August?

Some of Salomon’s 2012 ski range including Shogun and Lady are available on Basenz.com.

I have those twenty twelves i got em just a week ago;)

I just got mine last Thursday. rode them at Perisher on the weekend and they are awesome.

Light and poppy with awesome swing weight. The best ski I’ve ever used!

Hi

I found my perfect ski last year the

X-Wing Tormado Ti Powerline…. LOVED IT !!!

was definitly going to buy this version for this season, but its gone !!!!!

Is there a direct replacement ?

Thanks.

I demoed many pairs of skis last winter. I loved the Salomon Shoguns the best. I’ve never got a chance to try the Salomon Sentinels.

What ski is better? Im an all mountain skiier who usually spends more time in powder, trees and bowls but craves the occasional high speed carving. Loved the shoguns for its stability in high speeds.

Whats your take on Shoguns vs. Sentinel? what performs better in powder and whats better in high speeds (more stable in high speeds)?

thanks

@ Colin.

No direct replacement. The XWing line has been replaced by the Enduro, so you should look look at the 800 XT depending on your needs. The 24 Hours in a 178 has similar dimensions (though narrower in the waist - you can also look at Daytona or Mustang or even the X-Cart), but stiffness is a personal preference.

If I were you, I’d go for the Enduro and embrace the early rise for a lot of fun (no real downsides), or if you ski quick and mainly on the piste, go for the 24 Hour cruisers or something form their piste line. Next seasons website is up now.

@Jacob.

They are very different skis. The Shogun is more playful, “fun” whereas the Sentinel is for charging steep and difficult lines all over the mountain, but holding it’s own elsewhere. If you are a strong guy, go for the Sentinels, but you won’t go wrong with the Shogun. More stable at high speeds? - I’d say the Sentinel for sure.

@Dan

Thanks for the help. I ski 70% piste, but love off piste and getting better each year. The Enduro XT 850 sounds like it may be most suitable for what I need. I’ve heard it’s better for the slightly heavier guy !!!
