Bobby Buggs Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 1 less buckle, what do I win?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ursle Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 I was riding on a cold day, perfect snow, my heel sides were crisp, last run, near the bottom suddenly my heel sides were mushy, the RC10's had broken the second from the top buckle and were loose, never ridden the 8's, so the difference being somewhere between having 4 or 5 buckles, adding in the exact placement, let's add the duro of the shell also.

1xsculler Posted February 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Bobby Bugs, No prizes awarded for pointing out the obvious. The information I am hoping to get is from guys who may have tried both 8s and 10s and who may have an opinion on which they liked/disliked or why they bought one vs the other. No prizes awarded for pointing out the differences in color either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is totally subtle so most guys miss it, but 10 is bigger than 8 by 2, so there's a 25% difference right there. On another note, I was told that the RC8s use inferior plastic to the 10s. I cannot vouch for the truthfulness of this claim. I bought the ATBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1xsculler Posted February 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Is the 10 taller? Is the upper shell any different? Is the lower shell any different except for the additional buckle? The 8 probably has a less stiff plastic than the 10. The ATB is a total noodle according to someone on this site, i.e. so soft that this person couldn't imagine using it.

b0ardski Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 I like noodles, just hate laces and straps or extra buckles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ATB pairs well with powder boards and plate bindings set at lower angles ~45f/30r. Powder boards can be fun to ride in softer snow too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aracan Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 The shell shapes are the same. The differences are in the material and in the additional buckle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik J Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 They should not have stopped at 10. They need to go to 11. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
