Rossignol Pursuit 14LTD review 2013

PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments

The Pursuit 14, whose bindings, like its big brother's, are mounted well forward, has the same strengths and weaknesses, with a little more flex and a little less performance. In the Intermediate category, the lack of versatility and performance in skidded steering loses points for the Pursuit 14 LTD. On the other hand, it's a good ski to begin carving and really enjoyable in carve turns.

Review: Pros

• Like its big brother, the Pursuit 16, the Pursuit 14 is very comfortable in carved turns, especially at medium speed. You just need to lean to one side or another to initiate fluid, carving style turns with the greatest of ease.

Review: Cons

• While the ski is really at ease in its specific category, its carving performance is somewhat limited, and at medium speed it performs less well in skids and slides (probably because of the centred bindings and longer tail), so it's less suitable for riders who haven't mastered carve turns.
