Guarda da vicino il nuovo Rossignol 9 GS

the snow we supported one of the tastiest previews of next season, the GS 9 of Rossignol, which replaced a year from the famous 9X, and the feelings were very pleasant: it will be one of the best sellers of the season 2012.

What is

skis: Skiing is a classic
GS store, with generous sidecut and human measurements. The most appealing are the 174cm and 180cm. From this model was officially abandoned structure "oversize", although it remains in the name. The central fact goes back to being human, with that 72mm to 80mm seems a far cry from the old model. In addition to this renovation brings new costruttuva, Cascade technology.

Cascade:
With this new method of construction the Rossignol created a ski with a spatula whose thickness is to sink more and more, until you reach the minimum thickness at the tip, just like a waterfall. Up close you can indeed see the steps leading down to the metal copripunta.

goes: After a ride on
174cm comes to my mind a question: What is a slalom carver ski when you have this? You can ski in virtually all conditions and speeds, up to force the pace and shorten the radius of the curve a few meters and the ski will follow you without delay!

The spatula is really exciting. The French have not thrown in who knows what technology to give the right to gradual slopes, and centered in the middle. At the very beginning of the curve the spatula bends with incredible ease, providing entry of the corners fast, sharp-edge, at any speed you choose to go.

The beauty is that, gradually, over the curve, the structure "takes shape" and it feels great pleasure to draw curves in medium range.
makes you want to ski, as it should make every ski on the market , and never stop. He bends to the will of those who guide, without being angry or give up.

The conclusion of the curve is simple and immediate makes the transition from a lamia to another, without dead times, always attacking.

This ease of inversion sometimes leads to certain inmates, takes the spatula sooner than you are accustomed to, and then you are thrown off.
But just understand that skiing is a pleasure to go even cortoraggio: enough to be rhythmic and everything is being done. No hesitation in closing the curve to keep the same radius from start to finish.

The verdict:
It goes on to talk about this ski, but it's hard to fault. Keeps in speed, in fact, calls to go fast; domabile is in the crowd of some tracks and then even at low speeds, does not disdain the cortoraggio and allows the carvate spectacular. A ski

â€‹â€‹definitely try for next season. Rossignol is back on top in this field. Record it!
