Moment said "you can't tell the difference mounted +1 to -1" but thats a head scratcher to me. I can feel 3-5mm on almost any ski .
I can feel 3-5mm on almost any ski . they also said going -1 for directional skiing is perfectly fine but no more than -2 (which I wont do)
The result is an all-new Commander 98. It now boasts an aspen/beech core, revised sidecut and camber profiles, a new mount point, more metal, and experimental mutant genes from outer space. It’s stiffer, more stable, faster in and out of turns, and ready to rock like never before. Incredibly, it’s also more forgiving when your quads are begging you to call it quits and the tram is calling your name for one more lap. But listen: the fact that it’s not going to rip your face off doesn’t mean it’s the ski to put your kid brother on, either. It takes a pinch of dynamite to get the new Commander 98 up in the morning, and it can make most skis flinch just by looking at them. We built it to go fast, kick ass, and chew bubble gum. And it’s all out of bubble gum.[/QUOTE] - Moment website January 2021
Wildcat 108's in 184 is on the way! (personal use) I was a little unsure of the length, 5' 11" 175 but I @jmeb says it will be fine, and he's hoping I dont like them. . I am a little unsure on mount point, @GregK has been helpful and the folks from Moment. I dont do the flippy, spinning thing so I dont need it to be balanced in the air but I also dont want the tips or tails to be too short. -6 isn't crazy forward but Im thinking to go -7.

@Eric Edelstein and @Ron: too many teasers in this thread! New Evolv 100?
@Ron,
I have been on the Moment Bibby 184cm ski and I do think they have a big sweet spot. I was probably 1 cm back from the factory line due to my size 29 boot and they were my son's skis mounted for a 27 boot. I would agree with Moment in that the ski doesn't feel a "lot" different until you start getting +/- 2cm away from factory. I bet you will notice a difference at 5mm, but not a big one. -1 from factory line seems like a safe spot for you. I was impressed on my son's bibby's that the tip didn't dive on me in deep powder. The whole ski sank until I got some speed, but the ski felt very balanced and easy to ski. Blister has a lot on info on Moment skis if you want to research.
Ill join the pact do the +1 from REC on the m-free 108 as well, just borrowed the new fancy pivot jig from friend for the weekend, so will have a mountweekendgood info. I have read the Blistergear review, I have a demo binding but I hate to put that on and then redial again for a hard mount. I will go -7 (-1) which seems to be the right spot for the M-Free 108 as well. When they arrive, I will compare the M-Free to the Wildcat.

hmm yeah I understood what you mean, I just wrote it wrong, closer to center, + from recPLEASE NOTE I WENT FORWARD .75cm on the M-FREE 182, NOT AFT. the factory is -7.75, this takes it to ~ -7.00 depending on your BSL.
make it -6.70cm.
