Rossignol Hero Elite ST Ti review 2015
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
The Rossignol Hero Elite ST Ti is a ski designed for the pleasure of sport rather than pure performance. It’s a very good choice for intermediate to very good skiers who aim for performance without the need to control a thoroughbred. The Hero Elite will offer sensations galore... without requiring rock solid thighs.
Review: Pros
- Especially enjoyable and smooth in soft snow
- Good skid turn/carving transition
- A very accessible ski, easy to handle, tolerant, comfortable
- Excellent carving performance
Review: Cons
- The ski pays for its excellent accessibility by a slight lack of performance and liveliness compared to some of its racing rivals.
