Fischer RC4 WC SC Pro review 2014
Best performance!
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
The RC4 WC SC is a very 'athletic' ski that delivers outstanding performance - it topped its group in this area - while remaining relatively accessible and versatile. It is recommended as a "must" for expert-level and competition skiers who are looking for a truly dynamic and capable ski.
Review: Pros
- To get straight to the point: the Fisher RC4 SC didn't just come along for the ride. From the very first few metres, the ski imparts a sensation of rigidity underfoot, producing an impression of incredible stability and composure, while remaining manoeuvrable at moderate speeds. But it is at high speeds, and especially on hard snow, that the RC4 WC SC reveals its true qualities. Our testers were impressed with its excellent grip, its outstanding stability, and its exceptional turning performance, especially in short-radius turns.
Review: Cons
- Although perfectly at ease in intermediate-level manoeuvres, the ski demands a good technical skill set and great physical condition in more aggressive handling conditions.
