There is no standard among the manufacturers for measuring and stating forward lean. Some use the angle formed at the rear of the upper cuff while others use the angle formed at the front of the cuff. I know that Head uses the rear of the upper cuff, but I'm not sure about Lange. Nordica uses the front of the upper cuff. I have a suspicion that Lange does it the same way as Nordica based on that quoted number of 12*. That would be extraordinarily upright if measured at the rear of the cuff.
Is anyone who has tried on both a current Head Raptor and a current Lange RS able to confirm that the Lange is much more upright?
