Progressor 8 review:

Introduced for the first time last year the Dual Radius concept re-appears on all the new Progressor skis. Although “Progressor” sounds like an intermediate ski this new range is very much progressive and forward thinking in its conception to move the advanced skier into the expert realm.

Featuring side-wall construction for precise, smooth turns and good durability. The "8" sits in the middle of the new Progressor range. I found it to ski on groomed-trails very much like a slalom carver on a 4×4 chassis - not to make them more powerful or bloated but to give you the skier greater versatility whilst still being able to rip up some great carved turns. Very much a Fischer speciality.

So I guess you are looking at a sporty, mid-sized SUV in comparison. Spritely off-the-mark, comfortable in chopped up terrain yet precise and comfortable when riding at pretty quick speed on firm, groomed and sometimes icy terrain.

You won’t make friends with your local ski patrol on the Progressor 8. It has a wicked need for speed. It’s a decent all-mountain performer but really enters its element when the throttle is open and the turn shape widens. “An energetic ski that offers good feelings at high speed,” wrote one tester.

• Duel Radius System - Different radiuses at the ski tip and ski tail give you faster turn initiation and outstanding performance in long and short turns.

• Air carbon Chassis - Ultra lightweight and extremely strong high-tech material from the aerospace industry. Improves handling and performance.

• Wood core - Extremely lightweight and yet long-life wood core with excellent technical properties.

• Sandwich sidewall construction -  A unique concept in ski core manufacturing that gives the entire ski construction the ultimate in stability. The Sandwich Sidewall Construction is the result of an intelligent layered core structure made of poplar and beechwood, featuring a dual Titanal shell and sidewalls that give the ski edges perfect support and make them harder and more durable. The sidewalls are responsible for transferring skiing forces straight to the steel edges which means that the skis can be ridden extremely dynamically and directly. The improved shock absorption is an additional plus in this ski construction

• Rail-flex SP Binding Plate- Sport Performance: Further development of the successful Rail-flex Integration System.

Bindings are supplied in the factory box, rails are mounted on this ski by the manufacture
