Rossignol Radical 9 SL TI review 2011
Best ski 2011
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
A spectacular mark(the highest ever given in a Winter-Sports.com ski test) for this ski which is impressive in every area. The Rossignol Radical 9 SL TI is particularly well positioned in the "Slalom" programme where we asked the brands for a good performance ski that was also accessible to a non-racing public. It is designed for a wide range of skiers from middle-of-the-road to confirmed, who are looking for a responsive and playful, high-performance ski that will offer powerful sensations.
Review: Pros
- The Rossignol 9SL TI is an extraordinarily complete ski, combining top-flight performance, accessibility and polyvalence. Lively, precise and stable, with excellent grip on hard snow, capable of changing radius and of fluidly linking carving and skid turns, this ski is a real ultra-sports toy, capable of anything. In addition, it's remarkably easy to use and extremely confortable for a ski of this category.

Manufacturer's remarks
For racer and technical skiers seeking an agile, powerful ski with an excellent ski to snow contact in tight turns. Built with the same WorldCup construction, the famous Slant Nose technology but with oversized sidecut.
