Fischer RC4 RC review 2016
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
The ProSkilab™ reviewers were surprised by the model tested this year compared to the success it had last year. The Fischer RC4 RC is obviously focused on performance, but this year the model sent by Fisher suffered from a preparation problem that made it difficult to give a fair evaluation of the product. We’ll test it again next year.
Review: Pros
- Elitist performance,
- Remarkably energetic, stiff, responsive and grippy.
Review: Cons
- Preparation issue on the ski tested, which made it extremely demanding and difficult to manage.
- Very stiff ski that requires a lot of physical engagement and technical skills.
