Rossignol Pursuit 600 CAM review 2019
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
Rossignol's Pursuit range is a great success. In 2019, the Pursuit 800 stood out in the men's “Cruisers” category and won a "Best Performance" award. The Pursuit 600 CAM (Carbon Alloy Matrix for those in the know) placed quite well in this very exclusive selection of the best skis on the market.
The Pursuit 600 CAM is extremely accessible because it is so easy to pivot and to make consistent skidded turns. It also has a tendency to overturn, which will actually help novices to make their first turns. It is a ski that anyone can handle, even a beginner.
The ski is versatile, a good overall performer, and happy in all areas as long as it is not pushed too fast. In fact, at high speed, the tip tends to float, and turns are less precise.
It is easy, almost intuitive, to progress from skidded turns to carved turns on this ski.
It is a perfect choice for this category in which PROSKILAB chooses skis that lower level skiers will find easy to use, but that can also help them to improve and learn to carve.
We recommend the Pursuit 600 CAM to a wide range of skiers, from complete beginners to skiers who have mastered parallel skidded turns. They will discover a nice, forgiving ski that will help them to improve their technique.
