[quote="Max"]I was surprised by the soft flex of the RS80. I'm wondering, is it too soft? Looking at the flex numbers it looks likes the S12 is stiffer and then the RS100 is the stiffest. Of course I haven't had the luck of finding the S12 or RS100 in stock just yet.
Hello, I'm on the RS 100. According to my boot techie (he's on the S12) The S12 is 5% softer than the RS 100,that's straight from Head. I am 5'6" 145lbs, and I could not imagine skiing on anything softer than the RS 100. After 10 trips on it, it is breaking in nicely. I had the shell customized, and got a footbed etc, and they are the most comfortable boots I've ever been in for that level of performance. They are almost identical to the S12, only 5% stiffer. Hope that answer's your question. I ordered my boots in October, and they were sold out then, however, since my wonderful boot techie and I wear the exact same size, he allowed me to steal his!! What a guy!!!
