Men's Giant slalom ski reviews 2015
In this category, we select the best ‘Giant slalom' competition-inspired skis before reviewing them through a comparative methodology. While they are not FIS racing skis, which are too demanding for everyday use, they have genuine ‘Giant slalom' DNA, and are strongly performance oriented, while remaining accessible to a non-racing public.Some of the key factors we look out for when reviewing these skis include edgy turn initiation, the quality of long turns, grip on hard pack, stability at high speed, and rebound coming out of turns.
They are designed for more athletic riders with very good technical and physical prowess, who love fast, grippy skis for powerful long turns.

SportmaniaNordica Dobermann GSR EDT review 2015
Men's skis 2015 > Giant slalom Best performance!
The Nordica Dobermann, which was already a favourite last year, has kept all of its bite. It’s a super athletic ski, a little bomb in fact, and yet it’s still fun to use and accessible to a wide public, from good to expert riders in good physical condition.
The Fisher RC4 WC RC stands out for its accessibility and its potential to help riders to make technical progress. It’s a good ski for developing performance, and a great tool for carving out long turns at high speed.
The Hero Master M21 is a great giant ski and the ultimate tool for completing perfect long turns. An excellent choice for fans of long turns, high speeds, and learners.

Dynastar Speed Course Pro R20 Racing review 2015
Men's skis 2015 > Giant slalom Best Accessibility/Performance!
Given the performance of the Speed Course R20 Racing and its very wide range of use, we would recommend this product for good to very good skiers who want a ski that combines efficiency with pleasure. It is remarkably versatile and comfortable for riding outside the Giant tracks.
According to one of the reviewers, it’s like being on a ‘rail’. The i Speed is a true giant ski, and is remarkably stable and incisive. Despite its rigid tail that inconvenienced some of the lighter reviewers, the i Speed will suit heavier excellent skiers and competitors.
