PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments

The ProSkiLab™ reviewers loved it. The Rossignol 9GS is a truly high-performance and versatile ski offering broad spectrum action. It's an excellent model for average to expert skiers looking for efficacity, versatility and pleasure. We recommend it in particular for good skieurs who want to progress to proficiency.

Review: Pros

  • Quite frankly, the Rossignol 9 GS surprised us. First of all, it's a real slalom ski that's incisive, offers excellent performance and good edge control. It's also a remarkably versatile and user-friendly ski. The 9 GS performs well in all situations. It can alternate skid and slides, vary the curve radius, and skis well at high and low speeds in all turns from gentle to the most aggressive. A real treat.

Manufacturer's remarks

Who is the Radical 9 GS for? Technical and competition skiers looking for a powerful high-performance ski that incorporates the GS sidecut technology.
At full speed, the sandwich-type GS construction produces the ultra precision required in long turns.
The new cascade ski tip ensures full contact between the ski edge and the snow in turn initiation, as well as better weight distribution.
In short, the 9 GS is a fantastic turner that will help to quench your thirst for exhilarating carves.
