Technical Data

Why This Ski Excels on Hardpack

The first impression on snow is typical of the Rossignol Race Department: the ski immediately inspires confidence. Especially on icy training pistes or aggressively set slalom courses, the Hero FIS SL FAC shows its strengths.

The combination of Titanal, wood core, and the proven LCT technology ensures a ride that feels extremely precise and surprisingly smooth at the same time.

Noticeable Advantages in Handling

Direct Power Transmission

• Every movement is transferred to the edge without delay
• Quick pressure build-up in the gate
• High efficiency in short turns

Maximum Edge Grip

• Secure feeling on ice
• High tracking stability
• Precise line choice

Smoother at Speed

• Fewer bumps in rutted sections
• High running smoothness with aggressive riding
• More control in race runs

Explosive Turn Exit

• Strong rebound
• Dynamic acceleration
• Fast turn changes

Especially in modern slalom, this difference is clearly noticeable. The ski actively works with you and rewards clean technique with enormous precision.

The Difference to Sporty Recreational Skis

Many ambitious female skiers initially opt for sporty slalom carvers. These models perform very well on the piste but often reach their limits in race training.

A true FIS Women's Ski like the Hero FIS SL FAC offers:

• significantly higher torsional stiffness
• more aggressive edge grip
• more stable behavior on ice
• more precise power transmission
• more smoothness at race speed

Those who regularly race or train ambitiously will feel this difference after just a few turns.

Buying Advice from a Racing Expert

Particularly suitable for:

• FIS racers

• Masters racers
• Coaches
• Former racers

Preparation Note

A race ski of this category only achieves its full performance with professional tuning.

Our recommendation:

• Regularly prepare skis

In modern skiing, preparation often determines the last crucial hundredths of a second.
