Xenon Xi 8:
The unique
versatility of a Xenon shape and the performance/weight boost of
Aircoat at a very interesting price point.
This ski is
for anyone, anywhere, anytime!
Review:
Freshened up
graphics make the new Xenon Xi 8’s look a lot livelier.
I enjoyed these
skis on test - Head have been making great piste carver skis for
intermediate holiday skiers since carving skis were invented, so
they are pretty good at it.
Nice and easy to
initiate your turn, good grip up to quite fast red run speeds -
so faster than many intermediates will probably ski.
They feel
reasonably smooth but a ski that is designed to be light and
agile never quite as much a planted feel as a race pair - so
good for cruising at medium speeds and the Xenon’s do what they
say in their spiel - a ski to be enjoyed by anyone from
“beginner to 200-days a year expert”.
RFD 12
Bindings:
The Tyrolia RFD
12 Ski bindings supply variety for the all range of skiers, from
experts to recreational.
Thanks to LD-toe and the RAILFLEX feature “Double FREEFLEX”, the
RFD 12 guarantees better performance in extreme situations and
backward falls when compared to RFD 11 and RF 10.
Tyrolia RFD 12 bindings have the ability to be re-centered at
any time, giving the recreational skier the option to move
forward or the experts to shift back towards their tails.
Just one more step taken by Tyrolia to ensure safety and
satisfaction.
