PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments

A great performer, the GSX Fusion has the features of a competition ski, together with the potential to help riders progress, opening up a wide scope of use. It has a particularly playful nature that the reviewers loved. This is a must for good to excellent skiers looking for a tool that performs well, is playful and versatile.

Review: Pros

  • A vivacious, playful ski with plenty of character
  • Intermediate radius that is comfortable in short and long turns
  • Excellent flex distribution that makes the ski progressive and versatile
  • A very playful ski that is really enjoyable for the rider

Review: Cons

  • Slightly less good performance than some of the other models, probably because it was smaller than the others (176cm instead of 180cm).

Manufacturer's remarks

The GSX Fusion is certainly one of the most playful giant skis on the market. Packed with technological features like the Powerspine, RST Sidewall, Laminated Woodcore and Dual Ti, the GSX Fusion is a highly reactive ski with exceptional grip and stability. What’s more, the Fusion bindings system, the first real fully integrated bindings system in the world, gives softer flex, making the edge to edge transition easier.
