These are FIS certified GS skis from the 2016 season. For the 2016 season men had to have a turn radius over 35 m, while women had to be over 30 m. The 190 cm length meets the men’s requirement, while the 188 and 183 cm lengths meet the women’s over 30 m requirement. If you’re looking for a super-fast GS race ski and are excited about that 30 or 35 m turn radius you should pick up a pair of these skis before it’s too late. Not only are these a great choice for race enthusiasts who aren’t competing anymore, but still want a dedicated, high performance race ski in their quiver, they have also become popular among junior level ski racers who are just starting to get into speed events like Super G and Downhill. They offer the length and stability needed for those events, but have a shorter turn radius which makes the learning curve a little easier and also allows for those skiers to start competing in non-FIS events. Rossignol has a lot of technology behind their race skis, which improves turn initiation, lightens swing weight without taking away from stability. The result is a ski that’s ready to go fast!
