The Rossignol Forza 60° V-TI Skis are designed for an exhilarating and high-performance skiing experience, particularly on hard snow conditions.
Construction:
Layered with strong titanal: Titanal is known for its strength and ability to optimize dampness and stability.
Reinforced with durable materials: This enhances the skis' resilience, making them capable of withstanding wear and tear.
Intended Use:
Meant for digging deep and ripping corduroy: The design suggests that these skis are well-suited for making precise and aggressive turns on groomed slopes.
SPX 12 Konect GW Bindings:
Compatibility:
GW (GripWalk) Bindings: These bindings are likely compatible with both traditional alpine boot soles and the newer GripWalk soles, offering versatility in boot compatibility.
Integration:
Konect System: This suggests an integrated binding system that's designed to work seamlessly with the skis, possibly enhancing power transfer and overall performance.
Forza Series:
Performance Focus:
Meant to ride fast and hard: The emphasis on speed and aggressiveness implies that these skis are tailored for skiers who enjoy pushing their limits on the slopes.
Embracing love for hard snow: The skis are specifically designed for enthusiasts who appreciate challenging and firm snow conditions.
Overall, this setup seems well-suited for skiers who want to embrace the thrill of high-speed skiing on groomed, hard-packed snow. The combination of strong titanal, reinforced construction, and an integrated binding system indicates a commitment to providing a powerful and responsive skiing experience. If you love carving precise turns on hard snow, the Forza 60° V-TI Skis + SPX 12 Konect GW Bindings could be an exciting choice for you.
RTT (Reinforced Torsion Tip), V-TITANAL, and LCT Technology. Let me summarize each of them:
RTT (Reinforced Torsion Tip):
Purpose: Adapted and dimensioned for modern skis with extremely wide tips (130mm or wider).
Objective: To maintain precision and total engagement in skiing.
Technology Features:
Reinforces the lateral deformation of the front of the ski.
Uses a "tie" shape of the Titanal layer embedded in the built-in part of the tips.
Enhances cohesion and power transfer.
V-TITANAL:
Purpose: Aims to achieve perfect ski balance, especially in rugged conditions.
Objective: Maintaining the right line in challenging terrains.
Technology Features:
Utilizes a "V" shape in the new V-TITANAL layer.
Optimizes dampness and stability.
The groove along the sheet ensures stiffer longitudinal bending.
Stamping generates a phenomenon of mechanical anisotropy.
LCT Technology:
Origin: Evolved from World Cup racing innovation.
Objective: Delivers pure power and energy, ensuring fluid stability in all skiing conditions.
Technology Features:
Features a central "power rail" integrated from tip-to-tail.
Eliminates counter-flexing of the ski.
Ensures consistently smooth stability.
Provides dynamic control of the skier's line.
These technologies collectively aim to enhance the skiing experience by addressing specific challenges related to wide tips, balance in rugged conditions, and stability in various skiing scenarios. The integration of materials like Titanal and innovative construction methods contributes to improved performance on the slopes.

    I watched this video before and I have been thinking about it.. I have multiple pairs of skis that have demo bindings that are lifted.. I also have my 25+ year old race skis that have spacers.. Actually, out of my 10 pairs of skis, I only have 2 pairs that are flat to the ski.. One is 99 under foot and that slides all over the place.. My Stormrider 105s really slice the carve when I roll the edge over.. I am not sure what a spacer would do on these skis.. I am 5'9 so I am not sure if I am in the short category... I am still thinking about all of this...

    @ransquare 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thank you for this video! I have the previous ski (MX99) and have been trying to figure out why more people don’t talk about these. They’re considered a bit niche - fat carver? Why? - but I can’t imagine better for a full day of skiing, focused on groomers, on the west coast. One of the other commenters mentioned how these turn anything into a race course. On the west coast, where ice is rare especially after 10am, it’s so true. If I were on really firm bulletproof ice, sure, I’d want something narrower for being quicker edge to edge with more torsional stiffness. But here, it’s not ice I have to deal with, it’s that the groomers get soft by like 10-11am. Narrower skis don’t plow through and smooth out choppy snow as well as fatter skis. These cut through all conditions like butter. At Palisades/Alpine I notice ski patrol staring at me. One actually pulled me aside to say “I need to pull your pass … … For having too much fun!!!” Your reviewers hit it. You need to be strong and know how to ski these correctly. I’m still learning (not a racer or instructor) and they’re teaching me to be better. If you do it right, you bring that focus, commitment, and yes…anger…WOW do they reward you! I’m still curious to own a narrower, tighter turning ski someday, like 72mm, for if I find myself on truly firmer conditions. But having tried a lot of other well regarded frontside oriented skis (though not true race skis) like the MX84, Deacon, Mantra, i.Titan, Wingman 84 CTi…no interest in them anymore, now that I own these and know how to use them. I do also have the FX 106 HP for days when I feel more like off piste. Both skis can go to both places but the MX99 brings markedly more power, stability, and edge while being way more work and punishment for bad technique off piste, while the FX106 HP is still a super fun and very sharp carver while being significantly looser and floatier off piste.

  • @vthike
    @vthike 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I really want the MX but in a narrower waist, probably 75. I currently ski the FX94, love these an push them to the limit. Sometimes just letting gravity do its thing and let them rip on groomers. At the top end they get a little unstable. The only skis I never found the top end of control were my Kastle RX National Teams. Hopefully the MX will be close to those.

    • @ransquare
      @ransquare 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have the FX 106 HP and the old MX99 (previous model, I think heavier). FX in 184, MX in 176. Both are sharp, energetic, and precise. But the MX99 has another level of smoothness, especially at speed. The FX holds an edge and is stable but I can feel the terrain and imperfections under it, especially at speed. Doesn’t bother me but it’s there. The MX is silk, edges always dug in and cutting smoothly through.

I thought I was going to have dig them a shallow grave.. I did get them fixed and they still work great.. They hold an amazing edge.. As a racer I am trying to learn how to pivot or do the skidded turns.. I am pretty good at doing it with my 2019 Stormrider 105s.. Normally when I get to slow areas around a lot of people I just snowplow.. Last season I demoed some Stormrider 95s and before I even got on snow I realized they were blown out at the heal.. When I returned them they had another pair of 95s that were blown out at the heal and a pair of 88s that were blown out at the heal.. I did talk to someone who had a pair of 102s that were blown out at the heal.. Did they fix that for this season?

    Greetings from ski holidays in Livigno 🇮🇹. I have got Stormrider 88 previous 2021 model. I agree with you: you can carve, skid, do long and short radius, some off piste, bumps, fast, effortless, damping terrain. They are very light. I am 58 and ski mainly in Alps. I usually alter them with Stockli Laser SC for more radical carving but this is tiring. If I want to ski in style all day then I have Stormrider 88.
