WinterGold Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hans, your the best!!! The graphics are good, but not really spectacular :D I guess the orange tail is the team edition and the white tail is the ´normal´ full race. According to SG there are slight changes to the chamber and the flex of the race models ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Any specs on these. I have to admit I am not fully taken with the blunter nose designs yet. Those black and white all mountain profiles look pretty sweet. Are the next ones over BX boards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapster Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Looks like the next ones are the Soul, the Cult, the BX and the Freeride. Was really Jonesing for the Soul or the Cult, but I need a higher salary first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those black and white all mountain profiles look pretty sweet. Are the next ones over BX boards? I would also like to know if the specs changed for the next season. BX - yes, the one with the ´team graphics´ (same as the raceboards) is the BX model. For next season there is a new length - 162. No other infos ... Some teamriders use BX boards with a ´hammer´ nose. Maybe there will be some changes as well ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterGold Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 It´s interesting that the 162 is missing from the list. Some freeride lines and the SBX line are supposed to get that new size. Sigi is busy at the moment winning races (or coming second ...) , but the info is from the secretary and quite new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coloradoking Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 awwwwwwwww..... i still liked the SG graphics, i love my pro team's graphics. no offense but the new ones look a little prehistoric, which i dont feel like SG embodies. the boards should look sleek and fast, imho.

Shred Gruumer Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I noticed that all but one post was from the USA... So when will see these Euro Manufactures be readilly available in the US ....and by who?? I imagine it will be Virus pricing maybe thats why... I think Im spoiled...sorry... But in an economy like this..who's spending the $1500 plus money.. I guess all you Euro guys are Plastic Surgeons or something... I know we ain't here!! Thank god we got something here in north america that we can actually afford.. I love to try different stuff.. but at 1500 bucks.. who the heck can do that these days... I need a Virus Sigi stimulus package! now! RSS all fun guys...:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcarver Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Exotic snowboards had the Cult and Soul on sale for around $650. Cult is a very nice AM/FC board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a Virus Sigi stimulus package! now! RSS all fun guys...:) The prices are insane - we (in Europe) pay 1300$ for an SG Team Edition and that is like a ´production´ model. Virus is even more expensive - a standard model (Vampire Tech) is about 1700$. But the fun only starts when customising and using exotic materials like Zylon, etc. Now we go way over 2000$ ... not to mention the Virus Goddess Limited which is about 3800$ in Europe. And it doesn´t stop at the boards - TD3 is 440$ and so on ... Freestyleboards are sometimes less than half the price in the USA and because of the smaller market we don´t have the kind of sales you have in the US ... And I don´t think that we earn much more than you do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nutmeg Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 The prices are insane - we (in Europe) pay 1300$ for an SG Team Edition and that is like a ´production´ model. I think listing USD prices is a little bit misleading for this kind of product, where the consumer takes the FX risk. We in Europe would not pay USD 1300, but EUR 1000. I guess any European snowboard is going to be expensive from a US point of currently, due to to shipping/custom/FX. (FWIW this goes the other way round, too, e.g. Donek Axess would end up at EUR 680.) The pro team is SGs top model, according to http://www.sgsnowboards.com/ it costs EUR 1000. The Full Race T is EUR 900, non-metal boards are cheaper (Race 650, Speed 500). I do not think that is *very* expensive for a niche product, produced in a first world country (Austria afaik). For comparison a Burton Custom X is listed at ~EUR 680. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterGold Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I don´t think that giving the prices in US dollars is confusing - it just makes it easier to compare. I just converted the prices. And if you think the difference is only explained by shipping, custom, etc. then why are the Austrian boards much cheaper in e.g. the Cech Republic? And if you think that 1000€ is not much for a snowboard then the marketing must have been successful in making you think so. But you are right that in comparison to a Custom X the price is understandable. But it is only the relation - both are too expensive!

Surf Quebec Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Think about us poor canadians with our weak dollar, all those prices are very expensive once converted in canadian currency ... Thank god Coiler is in Canada ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you are right that in comparison to a Custom X the price is understandable. But it is only the relation - both are too expensive! I agree that EUR 1000 is expensive for a snowboard. But I think it is a "reasonable" price for the most expensive board offered by a specific manufacturer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shred Gruumer Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Its only reasonable be cause you have been beatin into submission.. its like raising gas from 2 bucks to 5 then going down to 3 and you say...hey that ain't so bad...!!! $1000 bucks... wooooo.... ouch!!

According to SG there are slight changes to the chamber and the flex of the race models ... Not spectacular?! On the pics, right, but when you have the board in hand you can see a rhombic design on the fullrace, very great design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted March 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 These are one of the best, the best production raceboards you can get for your money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokkis Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Who cares about graphics? I like that board works on any surface like charm, like my NSR Damn i like BAM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterGold Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 @mc-alex - this point goes to you ;) Of course I haven´t seen the boards for real - only the pictures ... I just meant the mainly black topsheet ... Do you own one of these? Because production hasn´t started yet. Only samples are out ... @Hans - I totally agree. Therefore I´m going to order for next year! @pokkis - I do! Not on the slope, but before and afterwards ... And considering some of your beautiful boards, I guess you like a little bit of design yourself :D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokkis Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I must admit that after stated polishing titanal boards few years ago, i have realized that top surface is most stupid part of board, what ever it looks, it oes not make board to fly. Even i've stated earlier that polishing it will help riding due then you can see your own mistakes :rolleyes: but nowadays i dont care if surface is baby poo or mirror surface, now i see that how board behaves is real thing . :D That is why i go now with NSR with standard black top sheet :1luvu: EDIT: I remove this comment if i'm attacked again by emails by German board manufacture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
