Dynastar CR 74 PRO R20 RACING review 2014

PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments

The Dynastar CR 74 is an outstanding carving ski but too specialised for the Advanced category, where versatility is one of the expected features. However, it would rank tops as a "High-performance piste ski" (a category which has, in fact, been requested by Dynastar). The CR 74 is an excellent choice for skiers who enjoy carving and who are looking for the thrills afforded by a high-performance piste ski.

Review: Pros

• A super carver, according to our testers! Dynastar's CR74 performed brilliantly in carved turns. The ski is very rigid and remains totally unfazed in any type of turn, regardless of radius, speed and snow type, including hard pack. Turn initiation is quick and effortless, and performance is unaffected even at extreme edge angles. The CR74 delivers a thrilling and pleasurable experience, without being physically or technically demanding on skiers.

Review: Cons

• Designed to facilitate carved turns, the ski performs much less well in skidding and sliding turns, and tends to "resist" (remain in its track) when the tester tries to over-steer with a bit of skid.

Lively, responsive and powerful, this Expert-level ski possesses all of the qualities expected from a "multi-radius" ski.

And with its excellent grip, you will always feel safe, regardless of snow type. Don't be surprised if you're the first at the bottom of the slopes!
