Technologies:

AUTO TURN
MULTISNOW - VERSATILITY - FORGIVENESS - EASY TO HANDLE - SPEED CONTROL Rossignol's Autoturn is engineered with 70% traditional high camber underfoot while the remaining 30% of the tip and tail features low rocker. The high camber underfoot delivers power, energy, and edge grip for on-piste performance. The subtle rocker tip and tail delivers easy steering, and effortless speed control for better versatility in any terrain or snow type.
CASCADE TIP
The new Cascade Tip uses varying shapes of metal and fiberglass laminates at staggered lengths to provide a lighter extremity. The unique layered shapes control tip torsion which smoothes out turn initiation and improves full edge contact. The lighter weight tip improves the swing weight of the ski for quick and adaptable turn initiation.
CENTRAL DUALTEC
Combining the best features of sandwich and cap construction.The cap increases the ski's durability and facilitates rebound while the traditional sidewalls underfoot produce crisp, direct edging pressure. The benefits of the combined constructions yield smooth flex and strong edging for comfortable control.
EXTENDED SIDECUT
The sidecut continues beyond the contact point where the tip and tail rocker start. As speeds and edge angles increase more of the sidecut is engaged resulting in powerful full length edge grip. At lower speeds and edge angles the sidecut is less engaged for more maneuverability and ease.
TWIN PULSION INTEGRAL
TPi2 : Twin Pulsion Integral A control beam combined with Twin interface. The tool-free binding simply slides on the integrated TPI2 system for easy adjustment.

The ski promises a lot but does not deliver on everything. It is excellent at moderate speeds and clearly a true all-rounder, because it is easy to ski and requires little physical effort. However, it will leave anyone looking for greater aggressiveness and precision dissatisfied: on steep slopes and at even moderately high speeds, it becomes imprecise and unstable. On the other hand, on gentler slopes and with a non-aggressive skiing style, it lets you ski for hours without noticing the effort.
