What Blizzard says about the Hustle Series
“Some prefer late starts and long lift rides, and that will always be alright with us. But for all you skiers who are here to hustle—those of you who work late, rise early, climb hard, rip turns, and always pack a headlamp—there’s a new ski collection in town that honors your every move. We even named it after you: Hustle. You might think of the Hustle collection as a combination of Blizzard’s lightweight Zero Gs and ripping Rustlers. But when you hit the skin track—and definitely, when you drop in—you’ll find Hustle is unlike anything else in the world. Light on the uphill and incredibly stable on the downhill with our proven TrueBlend Free Woodcore and Carbon DRT support, Hustle makes no compromises at any point of your ski experience. Because you, dear skier, deserve gear that hustles as hard as you.”
Flex Pattern
Here’s how we’d characterize the flex pattern of the Hustle 11:
Tips: 6-6.5
Shovels: 7-7.5
In Front of Toe Piece: 8-10
Underfoot: 10
Behind the Heel Piece: 10-8.5
Tails: 8-6
This flex pattern is very similar to our pair of the narrower 180 cm Hustle 10, with the Hustle 11 being just a touch softer at the very ends of the ski.
Stay Tuned…
We’ve been spending time on both the Hustle 11 as well as the narrower Hustle 10. Stay tuned for updates on this ski, and let us know of any questions you might have.
