Rossignol Famous 10 review 2018
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
The PROSKILAB reviewers came back beaming after riding the Famous 10 by Rossignol! The ski is an incredible performer, especially in turns where it really excels. It’s a very versatile model that can vary turn radius and style. But it’s mainly the playful and dynamic behavior that sets it apart from its rivals and that riders will love, at least, as long as they’re willing to get actively involved, as the ski needs to be steered and engaged with, especially entering turns. It’s an excellent ski that we recommend with no hesitation for sporty, good to expert riders.

Manufacturer's remarks
For riders who love to carve out swooping loops. Expert riders who’re just raring to charge along the groomed trails are going to adore the Rossignol FAMOUS 10. An ultra efficient ladies ski with measurements that would make a top model green with envy. Turn initiation is extremely easy thanks to its lighter tip (Prop Tip technology). Then the ski releases all of its power, and you know it’s just waiting to let rip. Two "energetic bars" that will give you all the thrills of the ride, good grip and extraordinary speed.
