The Deacons have more of a blunted tip, like the SL race skis. Kendos have a free ride style that surfs lil more & cuts lil lesser. More like that Mantra.Doesn't the Deacon V. Werks have the Kendo tip (technology)?
Not sure I understand what you mean about fitting one's body habitus. How far forward or back the binding is on the ski? I think adjusting this is possible with the standard binding, no?
Also, and maybe I should know this (despite being new here), but "stivot"?
Body habitus is one’s occupied space and build. Some ppl need bindings of varying lift and delta. I like a lot of heel lift & some lift personally- just me, but ya can’t adjust this with a track binding.
Stivoting is a controlled skid of the top of the turn & bending of the fore body of the skis. Ya can let the binding area to tails catch and carve after. The Kendos seem to do this reall well without needing to going 60 mph.
Hope this is helpful.
