K2 Merline V

Advantages: Great design and build quality damping!
Disadvantages: non that l have found yet!

...Currently l am working with K2 on my uni dissertaion investigatingthe damping of snowboards and they kindly gave me one of these babies to test. Firstly l can say the from my testing there is definately evidence to back up the damping claims this is in the higher frequecny ranges which are to do with muscle fatigue, there is a really nice feel about the baord when you are riding it there is a nice degree of side-cut and this make it prefect for carving down the mountin. there are risers on the top to enable riders with large feet to use a narrower board and aviod heel or toe drag on the surface oft he snow. due tot he size of the board l found it very stable at pace and not at all twitchy....

Advantages: Power, Force, Comfort
Disadvantages: Heavy Bat

...The Slazenger V1200 is a very nice bat to play with. It has immense power for strong players. Very nice Bat and is worth every penny you have to pay for it. The slazenger range has a lot to offer to any cricketer even if you have just started playing or you have been playing for 25 years. The V100 V200 V300 V400 V500 V600 V800 and the V1200 are all bats that you try. I have had my V1200 for 2 years now and not 1crack has appeared and i have been using it every day. If you have any queries or questions please contact http://www.slazenger.com.au/default.asp Thanks for looking at my review and hope you have fun with your Cricket Bat.... Read review

Advantages: if your lost in the woods you can hold em up to light your way out
Disadvantages: they are yellow, they aren't compatible with any parts from other manufacturers

...errrrrrrrrr, K2 250cc are horrible, for a start they are yellow. Whats that about? The soul space is tiny and they are mad fast on royales. Thats ok if your good at skating but if you've just started then you don't want to be falling on your head every time you try and learn one of the most basic tricks in the sport. I do not think you could possibly call these skates comfortable. Razors are comfortable, thrones are comfortable, these are like special shoes, urgh just disgusting. Then theres the softboot aspect, what is the point of making aggresive skates out of flimsy cloth. Every pair of these skates I see have big holes in the side and it just doesn't look good. Get some proper hard boot skates because you don't see them with big holes in the side do you? And then you've got the wheels, K2 own brand because no real wheel... Read review
