Stöckli Spirit EVO review 2017
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
One reviewer summed it up perfectly as "simple, agreeable and fun".
Simple: The Spirit EVO from Stöckli instantly gives riders confidence. It's immediately user-friendly a few rides downhill confirm the ski's docile and tolerant character, easily forgiving any pressure or positioning mistakes. It is extremely comfortable thanks to the quality of the ski/snow contact.
Agreeable: the ski's overall behaviour is excellent, offering riders a lot of enjoyment. Overall performance is at the top of the category and the reviewers particularly appreciated the quality of turn hold. The model is grippy and incisive, with solid pressure.
Fun: stiff, energetic, the Spirit EVO is lively and playful, mainly due to its responsive initiation and fast turn entry.
Very lively and endearing, the Spirit EVO is truly enjoyable. It's the ideal mix between performance and accessibility for good to very good skiers.
