Men’s downhill skis with bindings, Rossignol HERO ELITE Multi-turn

EXPERIENCE

Designed for competitive and on-piste skiers, the Hero Elite Multi-Turn TI is an accessible slope ski drawing its high performance from the racing arena.

SIDECUT

124/74/109

The sidecut corresponds to the mm width of the tip, waist and tail.

The wider the tip, the easier the turn entry.

The narrower the waist ,the quicker the edge switching.

The wider the waist, the more comfortable and stable the ski in changing snow conditions.



Turn radius = 15 m in size 175

As for the curve radius, the shorter it is, the shorter the turn will be (tight turns)

The larger the turn radius, the more effectively the ski will perform on wide turns

STRUCTURE

V-CARBON ALLOY MATRIX

The new MATRICIELLE V-shaped layer in a V-CARBON ALLOY offers optimal balance to stay on course in difficult conditions. The CAM (fibreglass) fibre guarantees power, vibration absorption and grip, while the groove running the length of the tip ensures more rigid longitudinal flex. The stamping fibre generates a mechanical anisotropic effect.

The TITANAL BEAM improves the under-foot power

What is the rocker?

When placing a ski on the ground, its points of contact are found near the tip and tail, whereas the middle of the ski (under the bindings) is slightly raised. This is the camber. The longer and higher the camber, the greater the edge grip and more responsive the ski. The lower the camber, the more forgiving the ski and the better the handling.

WHAT IS A ROCKER?

On a "rocker" ski, the tip, and sometimes the tail, comes off the ground sooner than with a cambered ski: this has the effect of moving the contact points toward the centre of the ski. The surface of the ski in contact with the snow is shortened and offers manoeuvrability and floatability in soft snow. When leaning into turns, the edge length offers more edge grip on hard snow. The longer the rocker, the better the handling of the ski.

OUR AFTER-SKI ADVICE

After a long day skiing, this is what you need to do to guarantee your ski's long life:

* Wipe your edges with a cloth at the end of the day to prevent rusting.

* Use ski ties to prevent the soles from rubbing against each other.

* Store your skis in a dry place and away from sunlight.
