Dynastar Speed Zone 7 review 2018

PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments

In this category, we’re looking for accessible skis for weaker riders who have the potential to progress technically to carving. While it’s not directly aimed at beginners, riders from the beginning of ESF’s class 2 will love the Speedzone 7 from Dynastar, in other words, riders who already master skid turns. Versatile, accessible, docile and responsive to every request, it’s truly awesome. Turn initiation is intuitive and skid turns are consistent, making it a very reassuring ski. But what really impressed the reviewers was its capacity to up the stakes, helping the rider make technical progress. The transition from skid turns to side slips then carving seems totally natural, especially on moderate slopes. You just need to get the right positioning and lean into the turn to see the skis begin to gently carve. When you step up the pace, even on hard pack, the ski remains incredibly reassuring and efficient for this category. We strongly recommend this ski for all riders who've mastered skid turns and want to progress to higher speeds and carving.

• Generally accessible
• Good rotation
• Versatile

It cushions variations in the terrain, eliminates instability by planting the ski firmly to 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 while retaining the ski’s dynamism and power. Energy, rebound and impulsion make this a high-performing and fun-to-use tool.
