Gleb Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 This technology is getting insane! I can't imagine moving a 20 pound board around. Just out of curiousity, is there anything that resembles this in the ski world? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtrappy Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Yes Hangle has the same plate but for skis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 yup, good risers have been around for about 15 years fir skis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felix Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Well on skis it's not about Hangl but all about Vist plates in the racing world. They incorporate so much aluminium that the're damn heavy too. Couple this with some bindings of the release range up to DIN 18 or higher that are anything but light and some race stock skis and you might end up around 10kg for a pair of skis. Hangl produced a while ago some insane riser plates for carving (not racing) that lifted you up 6-8cm - Dunno the weight of that plates. Oh and then skiboots are a lot heavier than snowboard hardboots. Especially plug boots due to the thick plactics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 here's the ski version of the plate same damn thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Which is good because you go through ruts not over them. The weight makes the board track better. The heavier the board the better it tracks. I could not agree more. Weight is GOOD!! I understand that most riders want to go as light as possible with their gear. I find that the heavier boards mass is a definite benefit. If you are on edge it is both powerful and damp. While most are pleased with their super light boards. I am thinking about adding lead strips to my already heavy boards. "Bar down PLEASE"!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 There are benefits to both heavy and light. I'll agree with www.oldsnowboards.com that heavy boards - such as Tinklers - track very well over and through snow that might be otherwise not carve friendly. But you are trading off some agility (harder to change your mind and change the direction or turn shape of the board at the last second) and when you crash, your body takes more of the impact which is transmitted through the board.

neil sunday Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 KNT stands for Kessler Nose Technology which is the way Hans Kessler designs the nose of the board to reduce vibration.. the whole hangle plate issue i feel is a race related product only.. you really dont need the hangl plate if you are out free carving as, i would hit the lodge before i free rode in conditions that the hangl plate excels in--- icy, rutted up race courses, that are common in todays races.. for free riding i would consider the s flex but not the hangl plate. the advantage to riding a lifted system are there for free riding, but as far as dampening, just stick to early morning grooomers and dont worry about it.

felix Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Well I personally would never use a lifted system for freecarving - in freecarving I achieve much higher angles than in racing and therefore love my very low height burton bindings - I could however allways use some more dampening. For racing adding more leverage means more power to the edge also with fewer angle and is therefore a must. More dampening can't damage either. It's unlike skiing where one main reason for plates in racing and carving is bootout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
