Performance

If these mid-range skis were dogs, we’d be introducing you to a pack of Golden Retrievers: reliable, good-natured, forgiving. They handle all types of turn with ease – and some really come alive as soon as you let go of the handbrake. 13 new models for leisure skiers and those looking to progress, who want to develop their technique stress-free – some offering excellent value for money!

The versatile everyday ski for everyone

I’m a great companion for beginners, intermediate skiers and those with solid technique. I’m more forgiving and easier to handle than the Sport-Performance skis. Nevertheless, I offer a high-quality construction and a secure feel on the slopes; I handle all types of turns effortlessly and become lively when you let go of the handbrake. In short: I’m a ski that makes you feel confident in any situation: reliable, easy-going and forgiving.

Is this the right ski type for you?

My strengths

  • Carved and drifted turns are my element
  • Slightly softer in tuning and more versatile than my sport counterpart
  • I still offer safety even at slightly higher speeds
  • I’m forgiving of mistakes and don’t always need to be skied with perfect technique

My weaknesses

  • Softer construction, resulting in slightly less powerful edge grip
  • On icy slopes, I reach my limits
  • At high speeds, I don’t feel quite so comfortable and lack smoothness
Recommended length: The most common lengths range from 165 to 175 cm. The stronger and more athletic you are, the longer the model you should choose.
