Technical Info
LINE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY (LCT)
An evolution of World Cup racing innovation, Rossignol’s patented new LCT construction harnesses pure power and energy, delivering fluid stability in all conditions. Featuring a central “power rail” integrated from tip-to-tail, LCT eliminates counter-flexing of the ski to ensure consistently smooth stability and dynamic control of your line.
TITANAL CONSTRUCTION
TITANAL laminates optimize dampness, stability, and torsional rigidity for maximum power, precision, and downhill performance.
RECTANGULAR SIDEWALL
RECTANGULAR SIDEWALL constructions feature a horizontal layering of core materials (wood, fiberglass, metal, etc.) combined with full-length vertical sidewalls to deliver optimized edge grip, precision, balance, and power.
WOOD CORE
WOOD CORES are dense, durable, and heavy, providing optimized dampness (vibration removal) and stability.
OVERSIZED SIDECUT
Ski profile is narrower through the contact point with more flare in the tip than the tail. Provides full edge length grip and power through the turn, quick turn initiation, snappy boost while exiting the turn and quick edge to edge action.
ON TRAIL ROCKER
Traditional high camber through 90% of the ski's length delivers power and edge grip for explosive snap and boost. The subtle rocker tip over the remaining 10% allows easier turn initiation easier and control.
