The Kessler site has been updated. There is also a bit of information for the 3 plate types.

All of the plates can be adjusted in the width.

I can make photos,
initial price is 1000 euro, but many discounts possible. here big smile to fin.

there are 3 different plates for different weight.
I have seen plate mounted to 4-hole pattern additionally there were bumper made of gum on front. Sigi explained that it was for pure snow condition. Plates also move both vertical and a little horizontal position. I will make some photos and send it to you...

Cheers.

I tried the plate on the Virus Vampire today. Put aside few "plate-outs" (to narrow board), I still managed to confirm some findings of previous posters.
Vamp is softer then big Kessler, or the old glass board I used for testing so far, so I noticed, for the first time, the nose overload that plate can cause. Practically every time I went to the forward loaded stance, the nose bent too much. I didn't bother to move the plate slightly back, to avoid the loss of snow time...

I posted a review of the Bomber Boiler Plate here

[Hans]

like here

Bola, can you comment on the K-Plate Rocket S ?

Has this plate any dampening inside (rubber), or is it just a raiserplate?

Cheers, Hans.

After spending many many days on plates with no reprieve I rode plateless for the day on some nice comfy soft snow and what a pleasure it was not to have that much "more" to horse around. I don't think soft snow will ever be a suitable riding medium for plates. My feet felt light and agile under me and it was a plasure to be able to pedal in the softness.

Think Snow!

I'm not at all surprised that on soft or hero snow where it is easy to carve anyway, a plate is simply not necessary or even a handicap. However what about when that soft snow gets rutted or pushed around into piles? Did that happen to you?

@Shred - LOL

Yeah. Looks pretty nice. But after shipping and whatever else you're darn close to a Boiler, which will give you more stance options and the 4x4 option. Boiler looks lower too.

[jacopodotti]

How much is the Boiler high?

Looks like they slide stainless on aluminium. Not convinced.

and...I don't like the idea that the axles seems to be drilled into the plate (european model), where the BBP axles are mounted seperately from the plate in their own housing.

SG plate system:

[sabestian]

Nice! Any chance of the side view of the pivoting/sliding parts?

[kieran]

SG plate system:

curious. 4x2 mount spacing.

Looks low, clean and simple!

Looks like the set of pivots further away in the photo have the sliders.

It will be interesting to see the SG methodology.

Thanks for the photos Hans.
