Head Raptor 130RS Changing Next Year?

Postby Vskier » Mon Mar 04, 2013 7:48 pm

Does anyone know if the Head Raptor 130RS is changing for next year and if so what the changes are? I'm currently in the Tecnica Inferno 130 and want to change over to the Raptor. I'm wondering if I should change over to this years now or wait until next year? Thoughts, thanks.

No major changes that I can see. It's just called the Raptor 130 for next season. It's still white, but the buckles are now more of a neon yellow/lime.

According to this guy, there is one major change in the Raptor boot line for this year:
They decreased the boot board angle from 6 to 4 degrees.

Interesting. Boot board angle is fairly easy to modify though. I do wonder about its impact on the fit. In order to reduce the angle it sounds like they reduced the height of the heal section of the board. I can't say that would do my feet any favors in a Raptor 130. I also have the B3 and B2 and those were already reduced in ramp angle, but that shell last shape/volume is already different from the 130.
