Rossignol Forza 40D V-CA

After testing the Rossignol Forza 70D V-Ti, we discovered the Rossignol Forza 40D V-CA, which emphasizes accessibility. It is less powerful on the edge and has a lower level of performance.

This Rossignol is a pleasant ski because despite its significant edge length, it remains easy to handle. It’s a very lightweight ski to carry but also on the snow.

It’s a good piste ski with a very respectable level of performance but not extreme. If you have a significant size or if you ski very fast, you will quickly find its limits, and the Rossignol Forza 40D V-CA will lose some of its charm. At relatively low speeds, let’s say “reasonable” speeds, you have fun. It corresponds to a program that every skier follows on the slope: having fun, experiencing sensations without struggling against a dominant ski. It’s clear that it’s not aimed at an expert. It’s a very interesting, easy ski on which you can easily find the edge.

If the Rossignol Forza 40D V-CA is designed to facilitate carved turns, it remains accessible for sliding and drifting. Once on the edge, it unfolds pleasantly and steadily. The effect isn’t extremely powerful. If you’re unbalanced, the ski adapts, it doesn’t trap you. However, if you’re looking for a curve with a high angulation, you need to go for the big brother, the Rossignol Forza 70D-Ti.

The Rossignol Forza 40D V-CA is well-made; we note the small heel protection cap. Wood imitation on top… We found excellent gliding properties. The concept of edge angle, 40 degrees for this ski, is intelligent on paper, but it’s not certain that angulation speaks to the general public.

An easy ski to evolve 100% on the slopes, having fun with a user-friendly ski. Accessibility and a moderate level of performance.
