Sooo the 2021 stuff is incoming, volkl has their revolt lineup, and I'm buying the 121,104,95,87 just to have matching pairs as I love the skis, and the graphics... my current revolt 95 really needs a refresh... and I need to have something looking equally nice on top. The jester 18 pro's looks awesome and will match the colors/theme it seems.

Does the 18 pro have the same safety features as the 16? at 190cm and 100KG'ish I'm big enough that I have to crank griffon, more than than I would a jester, and hence I usually run jester 16 (maybe thats just in my head). How does the 18 pro differ except 15 grams more weight and a higher DIN start setting? Say with both set at 10, will they have same release?

They will react identically. The only reason that you need to go with the Pro is that you want to, it doesn't sound like you need to.

I think the pro has a metal bar on the toe piece for some reason.

I know I dont need them, I want the colors so they match the graphics ;)
If you’re going to do it, go all the way. No bounds, no limits. Some possibilities

87,

I’m thinking

or maybe those Markers

95,

perhaps the black Shifts,

104,

you get it @karlo the pivots would look sick on the 121 for sure!
I'm going with the new duke pt hybrid 16 on the 121 though, but hey, more pairs always an option!

I have a set of blue shifts at home, but on the 104 with my height/weight that binding has 0 chance on that ski for me and my use! same with the revolt 95

The revolt 104 is so black the regular jester 16 might work, but you can see they rock the 18 pro in videos, with the il moro, it does look rather sharp.

Seen the 2020 dynastar menace with a forza look pivot?ohh yes! thats the stuff.

@anders_nor, nicely matched skis and bindings, and the Lange’s to boot. But, what’s the point of all it all if you’re just going to click in with those blue Salomon’s?

It’s never my “fault” for anything unless it’s a good thing! Lol

The Menace 98/yellow Attack 13 pic is mine but the Look pivot/menace 98 pic is from a Ski Essentials video.

I’ve since stolen those yellow bindings of my Menace 98s and put them on my Fisher 102FR. Got kendo 88s after and put matching yellow bindings on them as well. Green Atomic Hawx 130 boots to make it interesting. Haha

Going yellow Attacks on my new 2021 Wildcats too when they are available. :ogbiggrin:

2021 stuff hit local store yesterday, so here we are :D

This seems to match up very well and looks better than a forza?!
