These allround models promise perfect skiing peasure on the slopes! After a long day on these forgiving skis, you won't have to go straight to bed from exhaustion. The perfect companion for recreational skiers, they are perfect for gentle turnes in the snow, while being easy not only on your energy, but on your wallet as well. The light, turnable models are popular with beginners, but perfectly suited to intermediate recreational skiers as well.

Pure Pleasure!

Our judges took a close look at the allrounders' technical traits and design at our review location St. Johann-Alpendorf. The models' harmonic performance convinded the judges, hence the results were very narrow. With their enormous comfort, high feeling of security, great stability and steadiness as well as good value for money, nine out of ten models received a "very good" ranking.

Target: beginners, recreational skiers, sporty skiers
