Är det någon skillnad rent åkmässigt mellan pure och hybrid modellen? Om man inte ska tura så mycket så spelar väl inte vikten så stor roll?
Jag väger ca 80kg och är 179 lång. Har åkt offpist några veckor på ett par scott pure 190cm (hade ca 15dagar med bra puderåkning ifjol), så man får räknas som nybörjare på offpiståkning. Åkmässigt så funkar allt ändå bra offpist. Inför årets säsong så vill jag skaffa en skida med rocker och pistegenskaper. Kan denna skida vara något för mig eller blir den för svår för en som fortfarande är under utveckling i offpisten?? Vilken skida tror ni isåfall skulle passa bäst för mig?

DPS Hybrid vs Pure carbon
first off, yes i have been working for DPS for a bit.
not trying to be a shill, just explain the different ride qualities of the two skis, as not many people have much time on them.... and i get asked all the time about the differences and ride characteristics.
hopefully my impressions help.
PURE skis: are super light, very reactive, and require a technical skier to harness the design goals. the skis are very torsionally rigid, very light, and very powerful, so if you are not on the edges on firm, or the tune is off, they can provide feedback to your feet. the PURE skis are super fun on groomed, and are life changing in legit powder. in heavy chop, mank, wind hammered, etc, they require a skilled and technical pilot; fully engaging and bending the ski. if the pilot and style is there, these skis kill it in chop and mank. but if not: the skis will give feedback if you are making lazy turns in poorer quality snow. this means you are off edge and not applying the diesel. The pure skis also completely rail, and the narrower "all-mountain" skis are a blast. they shred groomed, but are way more versatile due to the low swing weight and pop that 95 and narrower metal laminate skis give up.
HYBRID skis: are still fairly light compared to most race-room quality skis, and i would count these in their midst in terms of materials and finishing. they offer a nice damp ride that is still more reactive and responsive than metal laminate or full fiberglass skis. they have the same flex pattern as the PURE, but are about 400g per ski heavier (on a lotus 120). i think they compare very favorably to a high end rossi/dynastar/salomon in terms of construction. i am very stoked personally on the hybrid. it offers a great ride quality overall, that is more inline with conventional construction skis, but with some nice upgrades that boost the pop and responsiveness of the ski.
anyways, just my .02 - i came away from a bunch of skiing on the hybrids that they are not "lower end" or "price point" to the PURE, but rather are striving for a different ride characteristic and design goal - and will fair well in comparision to other skis on the market.
hopefully this is useful in some manner.
