New f2 Silberpfeil with Titanal?

[groovastic]

Anybody tried that board?

I hear Silberpfeils are quite soft, and I'd like a good board for rather agressive carving. I fell in love with titanal, and this seems to be the cheapest metal board on the market... that's why I want to know if someone tried it.

thanks

Silly me, but F2 says about Silber "Titanium construction" ?

Is it really Titanium, not Titanal as most others use?:confused:

Bola at All Boards Sports also has a well priced Nidecker 183GS that is metal and very tempting. You might check into it also.

It's really Titanal... not titanium. Same with the bindings... Race Titanium is actually Titanal.

"Quite soft" is subjective to the rider's view point. Here's another point of view, supported by data we've collected. For the past 3 seasons the Silberpfeil has been substantially stiffer (when measured with a static load) than the Speedster RS boards of similar lengths. Is it a good "aggressive" carving board? Yes, if you want something narrow and (depending on length) suitable for a 95+ kg rider. We sell plenty of this model and many riders love them.
Keep in mind that the Silberpfeil is NOT a full Titanal construction but rather a winged "V-qualizer" type of system. If you look closely at the top surface of the Silberpfeil you will see the location of the metal.

For full Titanal construction you'll need to look at the WC series of Speedster RS and SL.

Same thing with Oxygen. Does anyone know i there is titanium in those board ? cause that is what it's print on the topsheet

There are definitely metal sheets in my Proton 178, I can see them in the tail cutout.

I've asked about this before, apparently it's quite primitive compared to the current metal boards.

I have a complete set (149 - 185) Oxygen Protons for this season... yes, they too have Titanal, NOT titanium.
I have gotten word, but not proof, that the Protons are manufactured in the same facility that makes the F2 boards. The Titanal wings are very similar in design.
I can only imagine that previous year Proton boards are also Titanal.

and what about Volkl RT GS?

Is it Titanal or just "partialy" titanal like silberpfeil?

Anyone tested it?

thanks again
