Rossignol Zenith Z9 review 2007
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
A good ski that carves well and prefers long-radius turns, but suffers too much from poor performance in skid turns to be considered a touring ski. It was found to be a bit more difficult, more demanding and a little less versatile than its competitors.
Review: Pros
- Overall quality ski. Good in long-radius turns, great carving control, and stable at high speeds.
Review: Cons
- Requires more effort in short-radius turns and at low speeds. Lacks a bit of stability in skid turns, and is a bit "one-turn"...
