Rossignol Famous 10 review 2019
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
The Famous 10 from Rossignol offers an excellent compromise between performance and comfort.
Overall performance is excellent. The ski is made for carving.
Its performance is predictable in all conditions and the ski is "easy to master" and "easy to handle," according to the PROSKILAB testers. They particularly liked the ski's ability to easily transition from skidded turns to more aggressive carved turns. The combination of performance, smoothness, and reliability made it super fun to ski on. Our pro testers said it is a "very good ski,” "nice," and "easy and very enjoyable to ski."
The ski performs well, but it is a bit less playful and agile than some of its rivals, despite its short radius (13m). You need good technique, and a bit of effort and vertical movement to steer the ski.
It's an ideal ski for advanced to expert skiers looking for a compromise between performance and fun.
