Rossignol X-ium Skate

While the X-ium Skate is built with race-proven technology, it is approachable for ambitious intermediate skiers. However, beginners might find the stiff, performance-oriented flex and lightweight construction less forgiving than a dedicated entry-level model.

The universal profile is designed to perform consistently across a wide range of snow temperatures and conditions. It provides a balanced platform that doesn't require you to switch skis when the snow transitions from hard-packed to slightly softer groomed trails.

Yes, these skis are designed for the Turnamic binding system. This system is compatible with NNN, Prolink, and Turnamic boot soles, but you must use a Turnamic-compatible binding to ensure the ski maintains its natural flex.

The Nomex core is incredibly lightweight, which is essential for energy efficiency, but it requires standard care. As long as you avoid skiing over rocks or debris, the construction is plenty durable for regular training and racing.

Activ Cap construction allows the ski to be torsionally rigid, which keeps the edge stable during powerful skating strides, while still allowing the tip and tail to flex naturally. This combination gives you better control and a more responsive feel on the snow.
