Rossignol Famous 2018/19

The "Famous" models for carving ladies are entering their third winter. They have been well prepared for this with an all-round renewal. New, for example, is the VAS Women System, which thanks to elastic filters under the shovel dampens vibrations while skiing and increases ride comfort. The shape has also been renewed: all models now have an oversized sidecut, which improves edge grip and stability. The models are aimed at piste-oriented female skiers who are looking for a turn-friendly and stable ski.

Ski technology

VAS Women System

The VAS Women system dampens vibrations and improves ride comfort and safe feeling without sacrificing performance! For this purpose, flexible elastic filters were used under the tip of the ski, which allow efficient absorption of shocks from the terrain.

Oversized sidecut

The OVERSIZE SIDECUT combines the shape of a carving ski with the current widths underfoot. It offers precise power and very good edge grip with improved stability and control.

On-Trail Rocker

90% BIAS 10% LIGHT TIP ROCKER
The ON-TRAIL rocker is designed for precision on the slopes. It has a classic camber over 90 percent of the ski's length for explosive quickness and strong edge grip, and a small rocker on the shovel (10 percent) for easy turn initiation and turn control.

Sandwich Construction, Rectangular Sidewall

Modern sandwich construction with wood core, vertical sidewalls, fiberglass and titanal or carbon reinforcements. The wood core gives the ski its character and feel for the snow. The rectangular structure allows better distribution of flexibility, and the vertical sidewalls provide direct and powerful edge grip. Edge grip, power, control.

Cap

A somewhat simpler, but cheaper ski construction. ROSSITOP tip caps strengthen the ski, protect it against damage and make it more resistant with faster response.

Sidewall

Sidewall construction incorporates a layering principle of core material (wood, fiberglass, metal, etc.) and vertical sidewalls along the entire length of the ski to optimize edge grip, precision, balance and power.

Poplar wood core

Poplar wood cores provide good weight distribution, cushioning and resiliency for a versatile blend of strength, agility and playfulness.
