How will some of the key features of the Rossignol Xv Slashimi enhance my experience?
The AmpTek Elite rocker profile features a high camber content with mild rocker in the tips, delivering explosive edge grip, pop, and stability. The Reverse Directional flex is stiffer under the front foot for added power and control, while it progressively softens towards the back, enhancing manoeuvrability and confidence. The LightPop CBF2 core, a blend of light poplar with basalt and aramid fibres, ensures enhanced edge control and high-speed stability. L.I.T.E. Grip technology uses urethane strips along the sidewalls to automatically increase edge grip when needed, boosting responsiveness without adding harshness. Paired with RadCut technology, the sidecut adapts to speed and edge angle, improving turn initiation at low speed and grip at high speed. The combination of materials like basalt, aramid (Kevlar®) and fibreglass reduces vibrations and improves power transmission.
