Well, what the hell is it?
The Senate is a Radar Product
Why, what have you Heard?!?!
word on the web the new senate C ski for 2011 will be based directly off the Strada just a bit wider (.2"). good reviews on this "Strada55" over on BOS
Just saw that it was the only 2011 Radar on the Slalom Ski Guide on this site. Can't find a Senate Carbon listed anywhere else. Did they change the name or is it a Strada derived Senate? That would be BA. Hope they make a 69"

It's this yes model ski "senate c" c for carbon. There is a regular senate as well sans carbon
There is no 2011 Senate C yet. There are test skis based on a .2" wider Strada(rails are wider .1 each side with the same concave) with a wide rounded tail that are out in the field in people's hands, though. I've watched someone ski 1 at 41 on it at 34mph and it was the strongest 39 I've seen at 34. I've heard it's awesome, but then other people skied on it and said it'd make a good boat anchor. So there seems to be a certain skier that it fits well. From what I saw, if you like a ski with some tail slide, then you'd like it. Eddie Roberts said he could make it in a 69 if someone wanted one. If you're interested, call Radar and ask for Eddie.
I'm on one now for 3 weeks. It works for me. Previous ski was working great the last two years, but for some reason I couldn't get it to click this year. The 55 made it easy. Comes wrapped in an RS-1 skin.
There's also some with an RS1 bottom and the black carbon look top from 09 Annex.
