The Fischer RC4 The Curv DTX is an almost perfect piste ski that is perfect for advanced skiers seeking the best in pace and power this winter season.

This ski has all the elements you want from a good piste ski; speed, stability, responsiveness, incredible edge hold, ease of turning. We could go on but we’re sure you get the gist – this ski is fantastic. For skiers that have a need for speed, it is a perfect choice, with brilliant acceleration and a power that definitely gets your adrenaline pumping after the first few runs!

While it’s more than happy cruising long carving turns across the groomed runs, The Curv DTX really likes shorter radius turns too, which makes it that little bit more fun. It is quite bouncy in the turns but is grippier than the MTN 80 ti which means that you can really throw yourself into any turns on any conditions. This is a ski on which you feel confident to try out new and different things, safe in the knowledge that the durable Diagotex technology will keep you well supported underfoot.

Off piste, The Curv DTX was not a hit, however this is to be expected from a ski that is designed purely for on piste performance.

Very quick edge to edge, the Fischer RC4 The Curv DTX is clearly a high performance ski, but this doesn’t mean it is out of an intermediate to advanced skiers range. This ski can really be enjoyed by any skier that enjoys to carve. If you’re less confident in your carving it may be slightly overpowering at first, but it is definitely a ski that will allow you ample opportunity to develop.

If you are a more confident skier, this ski will allow you to really push yourself and progress your skiing to the top level on piste. For an expert who’s already reached this level – the Fischer RC4 The Curv DTX is simply a very fun, very fast ski that will give you a very good time on the pistes.
