Stöckli Spirit Motion review 2014
Best performance!
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
The ultimate pleasure/performance ski, the Spirit Motion is designed to rip across the slopes, linking long turns till the sun goes down. The ski requires a good technique, so we recommend it for expert riders who enjoy speed and performance.
Review: Pros
- The ski displays excellent overall performance and, above all, astonishing hold in long turns, thanks to its stability and tenacious grip. The Spirit Motion is a ski for speed freaks, especially in long turns. Less at ease in short turns, it's nonetheless vivacious, with excellent grip.
Review: Cons
- The ski is relatively demanding, technically speaking, and so is less accessible than some of its rivals. In particular, it needs to be well placed and is relatively unforgiving if you haven't got your balance quite right. It's less comfortable in skidded turns.
