Men's Easy Cruisers ski reviews 2019


In this category, we select skis that can help weaker riders to make technical progress. We look for skis that are extremely tolerant of errors of balance, are consistent and reassuring when having a beginner's stance, ensure easy turn initiation, smooth skid turns and snowplough, while helping riders to progress towards slice turns or even carving at intermediary speeds.

These skis are ideal for intermediate riders who have mastered skid turns and want to make more technical progress toward carving turns.

In this category, we are looking for skis that are easy for lower level skiers to use, but that will also allow them to progress to carving.

The Speed Zone 7 from Dynastar is a perfect match for this category.

The ski is very accessible, intuitive, easy to handle: "It turns on its own." Very little physical effort is needed and the ski responds to the slightest movement of the skier. It... Read on

K2 skis are always a hit with testers. Their skis offer a well-balanced compromise that cleverly blends accessibility, reliability, and performance. The Konic 78 is no exception and was ranked one of the best skis in this category. We are looking for user-friendly skis for low level skiers that will also allow them to improve their technique, in particular, to learn how to carve.

The ski is remarkably accessible.... Read on

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... Read on

This year, we tested the Völkl RTM 76 Elite in a shorter size (161 cm) than requested for this category, which made it easier to use but compromised performance.

The ski pivots very easily, and the tail tends to overturn, which makes snow plow and skidded turns easier for a novice. Skidded turns are intuitive and consistent.

Unfortunately, since the test length was too short, the ski was less... Read on

The Doberman Spitfire TI FDT spits fire... It may be a bit too much for this category where we're looking for skis that lower level skiers can handle.

This ski is really dynamic. Turn initiation, edge-to-edge transfer, precision in carved turns, and stability are all excellent. A "good carving ski," it holds the line even at high speed and allows the skier to take big edge angles.

Despite... Read on

PROSKILAB only reviews the very best skis on the market. So, if the V-Shape 4 from Head is in last place, it is nothing to be ashamed of. Its score proves that the ski has great qualities.

It performs better than the other skis in this category but is less forgiving. It is a little difficult to do well in a category that values ease of use more than anything else.

The ski's overall performance... Read on
