Bombers are just blossom with a bomber topsheet...
First, that wouldn't be a bad thing second, Bomber skis are being produced in their own facility and not Blossoms.Bombers are just blossom with a bomber topsheet...
Do they come with a decent factory tune, or is that extra?Yes, you can get into the $10K range with Zai.
Usually extra because someone who spends that kind of money has discriminating taste. Whether the specific shop includes the tune, that is up to them.Do they come with a decent factory tune, or is that extra?

First up is the Kästle Supra. At 130-93-117, the 177 has a 20.3m radius and is mounted with a Kästle-branded Tyrolia K12 CTI Pro system binding. It has a shape, design, and construction that share nothing, including the location it is assembled, with any mainstream Kästle other than the fact that “Kästle” is embossed on the topsheet. Kästle is not marketing to the Nth-degree skier on the hill; it already builds skis for the Chris Davenports and Griffin Posts of the ski world. The Limited Edition -- yes, limited to 500 numbered pairs -- is meant for the most discriminating skiers looking for refinement. Chances are, they own more than one Breitling timepiece, a Bentley or two, and already have a couple Kästles in the quiver at one of their homes -- one of which could very well be at Jackson.
On the snow, the Supra has the feel of an MX89. The DNA is there for sure, but there is an extra level of smoothness. Where the MX needs 30 mph to get its jam on, the Supra is fine at 20; where the MX wants to control your experience, the Supra is more, dare I say, submissive. Think about a car that needs to be driven versus one that likes to be driven -- but still has the power. This goes back to the Bentley I mentioned earlier. The Supra is not a gussied-up MX; it is a different experience.
$500 new? Absolutely.Would 500 US$ for a Supra ski+binding bundle (all new) be considered a good deal as per PugSki standards?
Looking at the specs, Supra would make an excellent spring touring ski, too bad they sell it with pre-mounted plates.
