Scott Black Majic review 2015
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
The Scott Black Magic makes up for a slightly uninspired freeride performance by its exceptional on-piste qualities. Recommended for skiers who want a truly brilliant ski on the groomers, but that can still perform well off-piste.
Review: Pros
- Excellent behaviour on the groomers
- Very good contact with snow, fluid and enjoyable
- Excellent initiation, grip and turn performance in every kind of turn
- Off-piste performance OK given the size of the waist (78mm)
Review: Cons
- Off-piste performance less convincing than some of the other models in the review
