Freeride, freestyle and backcountry skiing are all evolving
toward a common activity… the “Fusion of Freeride.” These
skiers’ demands are changing just as quickly. They all want the same things: tip and tail rocker; traditional and reverse sidecut; durability; floatation; smooth performance on groomers… and significant reductions in weight, too.
With Rossignol’s all-new 7 SERIES, the future of freeride skis has arrived. The 7 Series combines the very latest in shape and design with an all-new, patented lightweight construction technology called “Air Tip.” The result: a revolutionary fusion of rocker, sidecut, stability, maneuverability and reduction in weight that is beyond imagination.
Features
• AIR TIP: This all-new, patented, air-honeycomb design reduces the weight and dramatically reduces the swing weight of the ski (by nearly 30%.) This significantly enhances maneuverability, giving the ski an ultra-light feel. Reinforced with ABS for durability and enhanced torsional rigidity.
• POWDER TURN ROCKER: Newly redesigned to deliver even more versatility and superior floatation. A longer, more progressively rockered tip minimizes “tip flap” in variable snow and hardpack while the tapered, more
powerful tail drops into soft snow, enhancing floatation and
providing effortless steering with instant speed control. Traditional camber underfoot delivers power, energy and edge grip for groomed snow performance.
• LIGHT CORE: All-new ultra-lightweight Paulownia wood core with Race Department Diago Fiber laminate combines with the Air Tip to reduce overall ski weight by 20%, enhancing maneuverability and touring capabilities, with no compromise in downhill performance.
• FREE V.A.S.: Visco elastomer material smoothes the rocker/camber transition, reducing “tip flap” and increasing stability, control and snow contact in changing snow conditions.
• CLIMBING SKINS: Blended mohair/nylon climbing skins deliver the optimal combination of grip on the ascent and glide on long walks. 70/30 Mohair to nylon. Two versions: Pre-cut for Soul 7 and trim-to-fit for all models. Available separately.
