One might have thought that this Rossignol Experience 86 Ti, equipped with Titanium, would be powerful underfoot, or would require a lot of effort to pilot… But that’s not the case.
The rocker brings many solutions to this ski, which, on paper, seems very energized. Yet, it’s an easy ski to handle. Some testers have described it as “mellow,” in line with its rounded, non-aggressive spatula design. It’s not very lively underfoot.
However, don’t be mistaken, this Rossignol Experience 86 Ti has many qualities. Relatively stable, it doesn’t skid, it remains at the skier’s service, and can be smoothly skidded or drifted. If you need to put it sideways, it responds immediately.
Finding the edge is easy. The grip isn’t ultra-powerful, but it’s sufficient, offering effective carving.
It’s not a soft ski, but a strong skier may quickly find its limits. This limitation may not be so much due to its structure but rather to a relatively short edge length.
Optically, it may seem like the tip isn’t very lifted, but it performs well in difficult snow conditions, on the sides of slopes, and in light freeride situations. The Rossignol Experience 86 Ti handles soft snow very well; it’s a truly versatile and well-designed ski. Its flex is very fluid, as Rossignol engineers know how to achieve.
In summary, this Rossignol Experience 86 Ti does the work of an all-mountain ski. It’s versatile, easy to handle, capable of performing all directional effects. It may lack a bit of soul for a skier who wants to push certain limits. But for others, it offers great accessibility.
