Rossignol Pursuit 800 ti review 2018
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
It's less efficient and has less character, but is more accessible than its cousin, the Speedzone 10 Ti. The Pursuit 800 Ti deserves its place among this selection of best skis on the market. In a category where we’re looking above all for consistency, the ski certainly fulfills its contract. Its accessibility, performance, comfort and versatility result in a well-balanced blend that will give a lot of enjoyment. It’s a one-quiver ski, incredibly tolerant and docile. The reviewers loved the easy, very intuitive carving that will help average riders to make technical progress. It’s slightly less happy in very dynamic turns at high speed on hard pack, but that's not included in this program. The model is designed for intermediary to very good riders. It will help class 2 riders to make skid turns easily, and quickly progress to carving. More experienced riders will love its consistency and comfort.

Manufacturer's remarks
Get your fill of power with the Rossignol PURSUIT 800 TI, a modern piste ski that's astonishingly efficient, yet offering easy turn entry and incredibly playful underfoot.
With its competition-inspired "Prop Tech" technology, the PURSUIT 800 TI is designed for very good alpine riders. But you don’t need to be a racer to enjoy the boundless energy released from its race-inspired structure. The Prop Tech technology provides an adaptive torsional flex so energy control is just awesome for the most fun-packed ride possible. With easier turn initiation for confident turns across the fall line, good grip and faultless precision, the PURSUIT 800 TI will provide infinite pleasure no matter what your style or playground, and without ever feeling overwhelmed.
This year we added the Carbon Alloy Matrix for even greater exhilaration. Play with Power!
The new KONECT bindings system is designed for quick, easy adjustment and optimum race-like precision.

NB: To get the most from our skis on the slopes, we recommend Rossignol ski shoes and LOOK bindings.
