Product Details
Rocker Type
Auto Turn Rocker – The most versatile rocker and camber blend now features a longer, more progressive tip profile for increased stability and hard-snow precision. Traditional camber through 70% of the ski retains the power, energy, and edge grip for confident on-trail performance; while moderate tip and tail rocker encourages effortless carved turns, easy steering and instant speed control in all snow conditions.
Sidecut
Extended Sidecut – Rossignol developed this extended sidecut to improve high-speed grip while increasing low-speed handling. By extending the sidecut far into the tip, the full length of the ski is in contact with the snow when the skier is angulating and traveling at speed. At lower speeds, rotation is easier thanks to the tip and tail rocker.
Core
Poplar Wood Core – A classic core construction creates a balance of weight, dampness, and elasticity for a versatile blend of power, agility, and playfulness.
Laminates
Air Tip – A patented technology exclusive to Rossignol. The tip is filled with air for maximum lightness and built to retain torsional rigidity. The ski’s weight is redistributed, freeing the tip and tail of the ski and providing greater ease, safety and versatility. The center of gravity is closer to the middle of the ski, concentrating power under the skier’s feet.
Basalt – Stronger and lighter than fiberglass and with more elasticity than carbon, basalt fibers enhance power and stability while removing vibrations.
Sidewalls
Duracap – Duracap construction strengthens the ski, is resistant to chipping for increased durability, and facilitates rebound.
