Racing skis for racers
"Hero" means "hero", because they are made for Rossignol ski heroes, the racers who participate in international competitions and compete with Rossignol skis. In the process, the line is developed in the rhythm of the Olympics, that is, every 4 years. Accordingly, there have been hardly any changes in the ski concept, only the Prop Tech technology has been somewhat refined. However, the dimensions have been revised in line with the changed FIS regulations. The present range includes the top models of the Hero 2017/18 racing ski series, which are equipped with World Cup technology. Thereby the FIS models have the FIS dimensions, the Master models do not.

Prop Tech
Developed in accordance with the new FIS regulations of curve radii, the Prop Tech is a transversal Skiflex release system. The vertical milled grooves in the metal laminate, provide a more adaptable torsional flex for more control, smoother turn initiation, more direct power transmission and improved edge contact.
Power Turn Rocker
The conventional high chamber through 90% of the ski length provides power and edge grip for explosive bite and lift. The fine rocker tip over the remaining 10%, delivers easier turn initiation and control.
Cascade Tip
Varying lengths of metal and fiberglass laminates staggered through the ski tip provide lighter outer areas and help control tip torsion for smoother turn initiation and improved full edge contact. The lighter tips improve the swing weight of the ski and provide fast and adaptable turn initiation.
Rectangular sandwich
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.
Minicap sandwich
The ultra-strong construction appears with wood core, 30° sidewalls, fiberglass and high-tech laminates. The Mini Caps protect the ski tips and prevent damage with improved durability. The sidewalls are 30′ turned up, which improves swing weight and reduces overall ski weight for better edge grip and resistance.
