Contrary to what has been written here and there, the Fischer RC4 Noize ST, despite its high level of performance, is neither demanding nor dominant, nor difficult to understand. It doesn’t even require an adaptation phase: it’s pure plug and play. A ski that puts a smile on your face.
Yes, the RC4 label clearly reflects its racing heritage from the brand’s competition department, but this very attractive Fischer RC4 Noize ST remains genuinely accessible and extremely enjoyable on piste. We skied it non-stop for a full month, on hard and even very hard snow.
This ski has real substance, featuring a wood core and a very well-balanced flex. We particularly appreciated its behavior on compact snow. The Fischer RC4 Noize ST delivers excellent stability underfoot and, above all, very impressive edge grip, rarely found lacking. The major advantage of its flex is its forgiveness: it tolerates small positioning mistakes from the skier. It’s extremely pleasant to ski such a high-performance ski that doesn’t demand constant attention. You can ski it in a relaxed manner—it never catches you out, especially not on the tails for skiers weighing between 70 and 75 kg.
The Fischer RC4 Noize ST stands out for its remarkable fluidity and smooth turn progression. The tip stays firmly planted on the snow, with no chatter or unwanted vibrations. The ski is very quiet on hard snow. It inspires a strong sense of confidence: it reacts exactly when you want it to and never takes control away from the skier. It offers little rebound into the legs and shows minimal skidding in straight-line runs.
Edge engagement is extremely easy. All the classic techniques work perfectly: a directional skidded entry followed by angulation, and the Fischer RC4 Noize ST willingly sets itself on edge. You can vary angulation from moderate to extreme—it handles it all. When you want to release pressure, it immediately transitions back to a skidded or carved directional glide.
The icing on the cake is the Fischer RC4 Noize ST’s ability to vary turn radius while carving. You can lengthen or tighten turns without deploying a full technical arsenal, even on fairly steep terrain. In our opinion, the ski’s limit appears under heavier, more powerful skiers when excessive pressure is applied to the front: the relatively compliant tip may struggle to cope.
The Fischer RC4 Noize ST handles high speeds well and offers good glide. It’s not oversteering, feels very composed, and remains predictable at all times. It’s the kind of ski you forget about—until you decide to push the pace or carve aggressively.
An excellent ski for progressing on piste without always skiing fully carved. Very pleasant, confidence-inspiring, and full of sensations—never extreme, yet clearly high-performing—it earns the First Test4outside Award. We love it.
