Rossignol Temptation 82 (2012)
Tester's Review
It's easy to roll your eyes at all the manufacturers' names for blends of rocker. But after skiing the Temptation 82 on fresh cord, we think Rossi's "Auto Turn Rocker" pretty apt. Just tip your ankle and the 82 rolls into smooth, buttery turns; you'll graze your hip on the snow without even trying. With a damp yet responsive feel, it engages without any hooking or bucking. One of the narrowest of the category, it does lack versatility in pow and crud. "All levels will have fun on these," said Forland. Notes: Sold flat or as a system ski with the Rossignol Saphir 110 binding (MSRP $800)
PRICE (MSRP): $600.00
PRICE (MAP): $500.00
