best skis for a XTX

[Filks]

I went with the C&A Razors (after recommendation from my local tech who had a pair on his xtx) and I love the difference it made to my 2010 xtx. That being said, I haven't riden my nytro with any other ski other than the stockers and these. I ride about 75% trail and the rest of the time on the lakes and fields. I bought them after I ended up in the rhubarb around the same off cambered left hander a couple of times. Now it feels like the front end is firmly planted, darting is virtually eliminated and the traction in the front is more matched to the traction in the back (114 studs up the middle). They do have a pretty deep keel which which I found requires a bit more effort at slow speed - but not as deep as some of their more aggressive models - and this is certainly not annoying enough to be a negative compared to how confident I feel at higher speeds. They are longer and wider than the stock skis which I hope will give some more float in the deeper snow (I got them towards the end of last year when the trails and lakes had packed down). Long story longer - highly recommended.

I run C&A Outlaws on mine, nice keel with stud boy shaper bars. Works great on the trails!!

Anyone tried the C&A XTX's ??

I see no one is mentioning Curve XS'... Is there a reason?

I have the C&A xtxs and like them. I have 9" stud boy deuce bars on them and I feel this setup works best for me. I tried the stockers with deuce bars as well as curves for a portion of a season, and don't like them as much as the XTXs. In my opinion, the curves were too sensitive to varying snow conditions compared to the C&As. But this is just what worked for me, many others have the curves and say they work awesome. I could not get them to work for me and my suspension setup.
