less than the ep but still a ton of flex. more so than last years bacon but if you are looking for a rigid ski hit up the mothership. i just went from the mothership to the bacon for more flex. i speak from experience...... if you are looking for a really stable ski with less flex for high speed turns line made the mothership with you in mind.the motherships are true big mountain skis for ass-kicking steep mountain ripping at any speed as the bacons are soft playfull powder skis you can not even compare these two skis, one is a freeride ski and one is a freestyle ski. but bacons are a lot stiffer then ep pro's the flex is about the same as armada arv's.i did a bunch of freestyle shizzzz on my motherships but willie is right, the bacon is a "playful powder ski" but with enough stiffness to do most of what you want. probably not the best option for the ass-kicking steep mountain ripping on ice but gets around great when willies mom is icy and there is fresh pow.
