Full Description
Ideal for the intermediate to advanced skier who will be spending most of their time, but wants the versatility to be able to drop off the side or hit some close-in unpisted stuff from time to time.
At 79 mils underfoot, the Enduro RS 800 Ti is narrow for an all-mountain ski these days, and it’s really best for soft snow on piste or a small amount of ungroomed snow in the backcountry
All Mountain Rocker affects the tip only and is coupled with a traditional camber underfoot and a square tail. This combination gives great flotation in soft and deep snow coupled with strong grip and rebound, and power and control right through to the end of the turn.
Grip, precision and control are further boosted by the Powerline system which provides dampening and absorbs terrain variations for strong ski-snow contact. This ski lacks the titanal sheets of the higher end RS 800 Ti, making it softer and a bit more forgiving, therefore a good option if you’re light or for an intermediate skier looking to progress in softer snow.

TOP TIP
Ski Servicing
Watch out for shops that cut corners – and costs – by hardly ever servicing their skis, or just giving them a quick wax. Unserviced or badly serviced skis can ruin your whole week. Why pay for substandard kit?
