Fischer RC4 World Cup RC review 2011
Best ski 2011
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
Our reviewers loved the Fischer RC4 World Cup RC which is an excellent Giant slalom ski. Exceptionally well-balanced, it feels healthy and safe, and offers excellent performance, accessibility and pleasure. It's a good choice for good to expert skiers looking for strong sensations, particularly at high speeds in long-radius turns.
Review: Pros
- The Fischer RC4 World Cup RC keeps its promise of being a very good Giant slalom ski. It's efficient, particularly in long radius turns on hard snow, combining aggressivity, grip and stability. The ski responds well when challenged. It has a playful character but is also accessible and feels safe, something that was greatly appreciated by the reviewers. It's a reassuring ski, offering stong sensations that allow you to attack the slopes in all conditions.
Review: Cons
- The RC4 WC RC can handle a range of radius turns but remains at ease in short turns. The ski offers excellent performance but is less effective than the Atomic GS D2 in competitive conditions.
