Rossignol Unique 6 review 2016
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
Like the Spirit Motion, the Rossignol Unique 6 is a ski that is perfect for beginners and learners who can just about manage and are mainly looking for facility and comfort. In this respect, the ski is remarkable and forgives (almost) all mistakes. However, like its rival, performance remains limited and it's unlikely to help the rider to make more technical progress towards carved turns.
Review: Pros
- Excellent accessibility even for beginners
- Very tolerant, the ski forgives all positioning errors, especially the back heel pressure that’s so common with beginners
- A gentle, pleasant and comfortable ski that perfectly cushions the terrain
Review: Cons
- Limited performance
- This ski will not help riders to make great technical progress, especially the shift to carved turns

Manufacturer's remarks
The Unique 6 is a groomer ski for ladies, designed for intermediary to advanced skiers.
Equipped with a light rocker in the tip for easy turn entry and exit and traditional camber underfoot for better grip, the Unique 6 was designed for riders looking for groomer performance and the right tool to up their game. Light (just 4.5kg the pair, including the bindings), easy to rotate, playful and with great grip, carving fans will love the Unique 6!
