Dynastar Speed Zone 10 Ti review 2018
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
Following some difficult years, Dynastar is back in the spotlight with its excellent "Speedzone" products. After scoring very well last year in the ProSkiLab review, this year the Speedzone 10 Ti got a "Best ski" distinction. It offers a combination of especially interesting features. First and foremost, it's a high-performance ski that has serious sporting qualities: fast turn initiation, good grip, great pressure at high speed including on hard pack, not to mention stability. It’s not long before we realise that we’re on a very, very fast ski. It’s happy in all situations: stable and well-planted in long turns, incredibly lively and energetic in short turns, fluid on soft snow... In short, it’s a great one-quiver ski, perfectly adapted to this category where we’re looking for versatility and consistency. The Speedzone 10 Ti also has a playful temperament that really impressed the reviewers. Less user-friendly than its cousin from Rossignol, it’s the ideal ski for good to expert riders looking for an athletic ski that’s still very versatile.

Manufacturer's remarks
With its race technology and packed snow performance design, the brand new SPEED ZONE 10 Ti delivers a new level of comfort, power and precision with a highly versatile shape and a short 14m radius. The ski boasts the innovative POWERDRIVE INSIDE active suspension principle, which acts like the sleek body of a sports car. It cushions bumpy terrain, eliminates instability by planting the ski firmly on the snow for smooth ski-snow contact before unleashing thrilling, powerful and dynamic acceleration, at the same time providing great bite and control. The ski tip rocker enhances entry, without losing the ski’s dynamism and power. Energy, rebound and impulsion make this a high-performing and fun-to-use ski.
