Dice Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Can anyone give opinion/review on the difference between the two? I have a T6 164W and thinking to buy the Nidecker Ultralight 163W. But I am not sure what I will gain in terms of performance. I know it's lighter and possibly faster due to it's base. But ride wise... is it a smoother stick carving in/out and trenches? Also, the fact it's lighter and medium flex, would it be easier to handle in the trees & do jumps with? How does it handle in chuncky snow & crud? Any feedback would be appreciated. Cheers...

The highest grade graphite base, with the best wax absorption. Complimented with a Nidecker stone grind team finish that equals pure speed and velocity. I think it's the same base they use on the pro team boards as well. Cheers... </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Sintered N2O WFO Vision and High Speed 8000 Sintered are both cryptic. rossi was selling some base they were calling r12000 or something but it was actually the same as electra 4000. the numbers on bases are not that much help. the really good stuff I guess does not make it onto most boards because it has so much graphite it's real soft and it's hard to get anyway. That is what I've heard anyway. The virus guy made a couple comments awhile back talking about the high graphite bases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dice Posted February 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Thnx for sharing. I am also hoping to learn more about how the board (Nidecker Ultralight) will ride as well. I guess I will know soon enough if I get to demo the board and ride it back to back in teh coming few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
