Korte geschiedenis van de marker

Rossignol was founded in 1907 by carpenter Abel Rossignol in Voiron, France, and initially made skis out of wood. The brand made its mark on racing early on.

Milestones: In 1937, Émile Allais won three world championship titles on Rossignol skis, in 1960 Jean Vuarnet won Olympic gold on the Allais 60, the first metal ski to win at the Olympic Games. The Strato, the Marker 's first fiberglass ski, followed in 1964.

The way to the right Rossignol equipment

  1. Clarify use: Piste, Allmountain, Freeride / Tour. For pure piste, Forza or React is suitable, for sporty carves Hero, for versatility Experience, for off-piste Sender or Rallybird, for touring Escaper.
  2. Assess your driving skills and speed: The sportier you ski, the more torsional rigidity and edge grip you need. LCT on Hero and Double LCT on Sender provide additional directional stability at speed.
  3. Choose radii and geometry: Short, snappy turns on the piste? Forza with oversize sidecut. Rhythmic and forgiving? React with flex tip. Versatility between hard and soft? Experience. Deep snow and playful terrain? Sender/Rallybird with Air Tip.
  4. Consider sustainability: If you value circular design, take a look at Essential.
  5. Choose the right ski boots: Last width, flex and fit are crucial. Hi Speed covers sporty, precise fits, Pure is aimed specifically at women with a comfortable yet direct fit - both with Dual Core.

So that you don't have to search long after these steps, you will find a curated selection of Rossignol skis and ski boots including accessories at XSPO. The combination of a wide range and tested quality helps you to quickly put together a harmonious setup for your style.
