I had the chance to put some time on my Supershapes (170cm) yesterday. Conditions were rock hard and very fast. The Supershapes are very smooth, very fast, have exceptional grip, are quick turning and very lively! I'm a guy who likes a ski that if your going 100mph, I want it to feel like I'm going 100mph, the Supershape is that ski!!! To the point that they were scary fast and unstable at speed. The slope was smooth but had some ripples near the bottom, when you hit this section the skis came totally unglued requiring more than one Bode type save! I switched over to my 07 Fischer Worldcup RC's (175's) and had no problem at the same speeds in the same section, they were glued to the snow. For my weight (215 lbs) the 170cm Supershapes were maybe a little soft at speed on very hard snow. Under these conditions I didn't get a chance to test the ski's versatility. I bought the ski primarily for skiing smaller slopes at slower speeds with my son. I have the Fischers and a pair of Head XRC 1200's for the bigger, faster runs such as this one. To be honest I liked my Rossignol 9S Oversizes that the Supershapes replaced better at this point.
