Rossignol Zenith Z76 Ti review 2011
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
With its focus on accessibility and comfort, the well-balanced Rossignol Zenith Z76 Ti is particularly well-suited to the "Advanced" category. We would recommend this excellent ski to all intermediary to experienced skiers who are looking for an "easy" tool that offers reasonable performance for polyvalent performance on the slopes.
Review: Pros
- The Rossignol Zenith Z76 Ti offers good overall performance and balance, and is especially user-friendly. The ski enters turns easily, and handles well in all situations. The reviewers were particularly impressed by its stability and grip. It requires limited physical engagement, and displays good ski/snow contact, absorbing the terrain well. The Z76 Ti is also a comfortable ski to use.
Review: Cons
- The ski pays for its enhanced user-friendliness in terms of performance to some extent. It shows its limits when used at a sustained fast pace, particularly in long-radius turns when it was considered less effective than the Dynastar Contact Cross.

Manufacturer's remarks
The all-new ZENITH Z76 TI is an ultra modern 60/40 frontside/backside ski. Designed for expert skiers that love carving it up on the piste but want the stability of a wider waist. This powerful ski is made with two layers of Titanium sandwiched around a wood core with vertical sidewalls. Add the new IPS concave profile and all-mountain tip, and the Zenith Z76 will knife it on the hardest snow and ride silkily smooth on the roughest terrain.
