A project linked to " STEEP SKIBOOK I asked users at the new model test drive event. We introduce impressions from users that were unable to cover the magazine. ROSSIGNOL is a long-established ski brand from France that offers high-performance gear that can be used by skiers of all levels with innovative technology and sophisticated design. A general skier gives a genuine review of the skis this season.
Review of "SUPER VIRAGE VIII LTD (R22)"
ROSSIGNOL's proud Onpiste carving machine. It combines smooth edge grip with good response, allowing for precise line adjustments from short to mid-turns. The R22 plate has a stable off-road performance, making it a perfect fit for skilled skiers who want high-level skiing.
It's an automatic style that's easy to use and has a stability-oriented
feel, and the overall automatic ride feels like your skis move naturally. While it's easy to slip off in the first half, there are times when you want a little more "squeezing" rebound in the second half. For those looking for a stable board, it seems like they will be a reliable companion.

Review of "SUPER VIRAGE VIII TECH (KONECT)"
The integrated bindings made from the KONECT system provide excellent power transmission and stability when sliding. The good edge grip and smooth turn introduces smooth slip quality improves the quality of the slip.
The attractive feature is that it is easy to grasp positions,
making it easy to find positions, and you can ride them stably. As for operability, I felt that the plate-equipped model was better.

Review of "SUPER VIRAGE VIII OVERSIZE (KONECT)"
Compared to the SUPER VIRAGE VIII's "LTD (R22)" and "TECH (KONECT)" models, the slightly wider waist and oversized shape provide outstanding stability while still allowing for sharp turns.
The length works well, providing both stability and carving performance
. It's easy to carve, and the boards stick firmly to the turn, which was nice. This time I chose a slightly longer size of 172cm, so it was very stable when gliding, so I was able to ride at speed with confidence.
