Rossignol Pursuit 800 Ti review 2016
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
The Pursuit 800 Ti is an excellent surprise from Rossignol.
The ski stands out for its focus on accessibility which is remarkable.
It’s an extraordinarily easy, instinctive and reassuring ski which will give great pleasure very quickly. ProSkiLab™ recommends it for good to very good skiers who want a ski that’s incredibly consistent, that steers at the touch of a finger and with (almost) no effort!
Review: Pros
- Good overall performance
- An easy, instinctive ski
- Exceptional stability
- Reassuring, consistent behaviour that makes you want to step up the pace
Review: Cons
- A ski designed for long turns, demanding more effort in short turns.
- A rocker tip which tends to vibrate a bit although this doesn’t impact on its behaviour which remains excellent.

Manufacturer's remarks
You don’t need to be a racing competitor to take advantage of all the power delivered by the racing structure of this ski (double Titanal plate and melamine sidewalls exactly like World Cup skis). With its free transversal flex system in the tip –thanks to the Prop Tech technology!- power is controlled as never before for unbridled pleasure.
Steering is made easier in turn initiation, with perfect grip and precision when making turns, the PURSUIT 800 TI TPX is ideal if you want to vary the pleasure of turns, play with the terrain to your heart’s delight without ever feeling it’s impossible. Play with Power!
