Go for it… BD says they are designed for skis w/ a waist width of >110mm, and they are 160mm wide, so just about right for a Mojo. Only possible issue is that the BD skins come with tip loops already installed, so you would have to remove the screws, or buy a second set of tip loops. Maybe you could arrange a custom order from BD w/o tip-loops installed?

I just got a pair of these earlier this winer, and haven’t taken them out yet. I’ll get back with some feedback, but as far as the setup, etc:

1. Stoked on the adjustable tip loops- lets me fit the skin to the asym ‘ski’ tip perfectly.

2. Tail clips seem like they will hold very well, but well see in the field.

3. trimming the skins was more compliated, as I had to center the skinless portion, and risked losing some fur at the side cut. I’ll see if I can get some pics up.

anyway, I’m all about the glide so I went for it.

I’ll get back with how they actually do.

I’m pretty sure karkis was using these skins last year. yup, just searched and found a thread here http://splitboard.com/talk/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=7994

I just received my split skins for my new board. Looks like the stock tip attachment can be set up asym no problem to fit a splitboard. These are crazy light as well, seems like about a 4 ounce weight saving per skin, huge! I will be cutting off the tail attachment, I never need ’em.

maybe this is a dumb question, but i just got my split skins and they have about a half inch overhang on either side… do i leave that or do i trim them down? i’m using a voile mojo board. if i trim them down, there will be less fur and a bit fat strip of nylon down the middle..?? im a confused gumby…

trim them

yeah but your spliti is 140-160 wide which they are made for so you be fine. Their is still plenty of skin left after you trim them.

Dude I used them today and they are the truth. :drool: I took them out to Donner this morning and they worked awesome climbing, scrambling over bolders , hoping trees the works and they hauled ass. Not to mention that they are super light. I’m Stoked. I just looped shock cord around the tail strap and wrapped them around the rear clip. I can’t wait to check them out in some January Pow!!!! Check My TR at Donner 11/12. It was a November to remember for sure.

P.S. the trimming didn’t affect how they climbed. I was worried too, but they are sick.

I’ve used the BD Ascension Nylon Split STS Skins for touring 10 days or so now. In case you missed it, these are skins that are unique, in that they do not have mohair across the full width of the skin. They look like this:

The “split” in the name refers not to splitboarding, but rather to the way the skins are split in 3 sections. The nylon strip in the middle results in a much lighter skin (about 4 oz lighter per skin than my regular skins).

They’ve been in a couple of steep, gnar skinning conditions, both pow and packed, and comparing them to my partners’ skinning performance, I think they are ALMOST as grippy as regular skins, but not quite, I’d call it like 95% as grippy. To me it’s barely noticeable. I however have not taken them on any super icey skintracks – people are reporting they are noticeably poorer in those conditions. Which makes sense, if a rounded, icy track forces your splitski to “high-center” on the non-sticky nylon center strip.

I find that they do not glide as well on the flats as other skins. I’d say they glide about 75% as well. Which is not a big deal to me.

Also, because each skin is made of 3 strips of sewn-together material, they are consequently a bit warped out of true plane, don’t lay perfectly flat when stuck to the base of your splitski, and hence “snow-up” on the gluey side a bit quicker than traditional skins that lie perfectly flat. Not a huge deal either.

The nose clips are highly adjustable and work well for splitski tips. The tail clips do not work well but I don’t want them anyway so chop chop.

I wish BD sized the stuff sack longer, so that the skins would fit when folded in quarters, like all my other skin stuff sacks.

Are they worth the slightly degraded performance for the weight savings? Let’s argue about it! I’m going to keep using them.
