THAT must've been a contrast and a half.
Do those ^two. The others are fairly known quantities.
Yep.
The V10's felt like a Monster 88 light. A bit turnier but nothing crazy like the specs suggest. I preferred the Monsters for sure but the V10 is a REALLY good ski for a LOT of folks.
The MX99 felt somewhat similar to the Bonafide (a hair more refined) but the tip of the MX99's seemed better suited for softer snow (I suspect since there was not any to be found today). The Bonafide is a tad turnier but still happy when going really fast and making large turns. The Bonafide was more maneuverable at slower speeds and was more willing to slide while still having tenacious edge grip. Love that ski. It makes even crappy hardpack seem fun. Its a ski I can trust.
The Ruster9 188's I didnt love but its a good ski. It should be great in 180cm for bumps and tight trees at moderate speeds but as speed increases and terrain opens up the Bonafide is worlds better obviously. I preferred the Enforcer 93 185's. Damper and smoother while still being pretty fun and quite good at speed in rougher hardpack.
I LOVED the MX89 180cm. Tenacious Edge grip and speed when u want it and easy and fun when you want to take it easy. Super versatile and has a large performance envelope. It reminded me a lot of the Monster 88, call it a slightly improved version of it.
