Rossignol Attraxion 8 Echo review 2013
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
"A very good ski for this category" according to one of our testers. The ski perfectly matches the Women's Advanced category criteria, as we're looking, above all, for a well-balanced, versatile and comfortable ski. The Attraxion 8 Echo is designed for intermediate to good female skiers, with the focus on ease of use.
Review: Pros
- The reviewers really appreciated the Attraxion 8 Echo's constancy. The ski handles well on all surfaces. A relatively good performer, easy to handle, playful, accessible, and versatile, it's a good all-rounder... a ski you don't need to think about as it does it all for you.
Review: Cons
- However, the testers felt that slide performance was not all it could have been (probably just specific to our test model). Overall performance was lacking compared to the Maya.
