You can't smoke the competition without flame graphics! The R&D department at Kessler is clearly starving the design team of funding. I don't think we need more corny flame graphics... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barryj Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 Love it!  Yeah that graphic is gonna make you a couple seconds faster, no doubt! Also interesting you can have K World Cup Flames it in any length.....but 168! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breeseomatic Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 Looks like the snowboard world has caught up to the motorcycle world. Â When inovation is not possible, you use "bold new graphics" as a selling point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucky Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 So not just the graphics-  new construction inside for torsion control as well as a new nose shape - also graphics not necessary 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pow4ever Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 Oxess have a "special edition" as wellhttps://oxess.ch/en/content/89/58/snowboards/carve-skwal Team version/edition is popular in skateboard and many other consumer sector. "Win On Sunday, Sell On Monday". for the mere mortal maybe a custom from Coiler/Donke/WInterstick is better suited for freecarve. To compete in WC level that's a different ball game. Lots of exotic tech/innovation in racing does trickle down to consumer. As the temperatures start to drop; future looks to be brighter for our sports (thanks to the prevalent flaming graphic). BTW it's proven:Â Â 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 150, 171, and 180 versions are not offered either. The 150 and 171 are junior race boards, the 168 is not used in World Cup, and the 177 replaces the 180 for lighter weight GS. 21 hours ago, pow4ever said: Oxess have a "special edition" as well And F2 with their Proto line, which are also built differently and come with Allflex inserts. And SG has the Full Race Pro Team, although I believe historically it has been identical to the Full Race Titan just with special graphics and Allflex inserts.

TLN Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 I think it looks childish. Kesslers always were black badass boards, this looks meh to me. OTOH, I like that all-mountain Oxess: wider and closer to target audience, than pure race boards. Price is out of reach for most of the folks tho.

davekempmeister Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 the flames on the Kessler are good flames, as flames go.  just a theme that is played, IMO.  my 185 is all black.  Previously,  I had a white one and a bare metal - both 185. I liked the red one that I saw in CO a few years back.  I think Kessler should leave the flame graphics to others. Swiss Army knives don’t have flames.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryj Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022  Yeah, how could Kessler commit such a sacrilege!  If somebody gave me one I'd probably have to force myself to ride it!  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
