Dynastar Speed Zone 10 Ti (Konect) review 2017
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
The Speed Zone 10 ti is perfectly at home in this "Men's top-of-the-range" category where the main criteria is consistency.
In effect, it's a highly versatile model, which will cover all snow conditions, all terrains, and all types of ride, with the reviewers unanimously expressing their enthusiasm: "A super versatile ski!", "A great ski for all snows and all terrains!"
However, it's the ski's overall performance and very strong character also got the reviewers' raving. Its liveliness, helped by the highly responsive initiation and impulsion, gave a great deal of pleasure. It was especially comfortable carving. Turn hold is remarkable, and the ski is grippy and stable, with solid pressure even at high speed on hard pack and steeps.
A ski with character, the Speed Zone 10 is a bit more technically demanding than most of its rivals. In particular, riders need to be well positioned, slightly forward, to get the most out of it.
Review: Pros
- Lively, energetic behaviour
- Good overall performance
- Extremely versatile
- Excellent behaviour in carved turns and carving
- Good stability and turn hold
- An enjoyable ski
Review: Cons
- Slight drop in performance at very high speed
- Requires a certain degree of technical prowess

Manufacturer's remarks
The Speed Zone 10 is a versatile ski, with a sporty touch that's especially welcome. We recommend this model for a wide public, from good to expert riders looking for a one-quiver tool. It's highly versatile with an energetic temperament, but it's also great fun.
Benefiting from racing technologies and developed for hard pack conditions, the new SPEED ZONE 10 Ti delivers a new level of comfort, power and precision, with a very versatile shape and a short 14m radius.
The ski features the brand new active suspension principle: POWERDRIVE INSIDE, which acts like the chassis of a sports car.
The latter absorbs variations in the terrain and ensures stability by posing the ski on the snow in such a way as to retain the snow/ski contact before releasing a frank, powerful and dynamic acceleration, while at the same time providing edge grip and control. The rocker tip facilitates turn entry, while retaining the ski's dynamism and power. Its power, rebound and impulsion make it a playful and high-performing ski.
