Rossignol Exp 86 Allmountain ski new

Rossignol took their Experience collection of all-mountain skis and completely redeveloped it This Experience 86 Basalt is one of two widest skis in the line. They use the same exact shape, although one has titanal construction and this one basalt. That makes this ski a little more approachable and more forgiving than the Ti model, although it still feels like a performance-oriented ski. Rossignol uses a lightweight paulownia wood core that’s supported by their basalt laminates. We also get Rossignol’s new Drive Tip Solution, which uses a complex blend of fibers and visco in the tip to absorb vibrations and impacts and turn it into useable, smoother energy once it reaches the underfoot portion of the ski. The shape of the Experience skis has been tweaked as well. This Experience 86 Basalt has more extended sidecut than the previous generation, but with similar rocker lines in the tip. This increases effective edge length when in a carving turn, but if you’re skiing a flatter base, you still benefit from the maneuverability aspects of rocker.
