Stöckli Stormrider 95 review 2016
Best performance!
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
A relatively little known Swiss brand, Stöckli sometimes comes up with a little jewel as in the case of the Stormrider 95 which gave the ProSkiLab™ reviewers a pleasant surprise. It’s a ski with character, designed for performance and is an excellent choice for athletic and technical freeriders, especially those looking to carve out long turns both on and off piste.
Review: Pros
- Good overall performance
- Excellent grip
- A ski that holds well and loves long turns and speed
- Excellent push-off
- Takes off all on its own
- Exceptional ride in difficult snow especially in the crud
Review: Cons
- An elite ski that requires good technical prowess and good physical fitness
- You need to be well positioned and to use heel pressure when skiing
- Great ski for long turns, more physical in short turns
