Rossignol Unique 6 Xelium W review 2014
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
There's no doubt that the Unique 6 from Rossignol is highly accessible. It loses some points for its lack of grip though, which meant it just missed out on "the reviewers' recommendation." However, it remains a good friend for beginners and experienced skiers looking for ease-of-use above all else.
Review: Pros
- The Unique 6 certainly fulfills its promise in terms of accessibility. An easy-turning, highly manoeuvrable ski that is great for skidded turns. Beginners will love it for its user-friendliness. It's also a very comfortable and enjoyable ski.
Review: Cons
- In more aggressive turns, the tail "wobbles" and tends to lose its grip.
