Rossignol Forza 60° TI Konect Review

The Rossignol Forza 60° TI Konect offers a performance carving brief aimed at intermediate and advanced skiers. It sits in an interesting part of the piste market: customers want stronger technical support, but their purchase still needs to make sense for ordinary holiday skiing.

Rossignol specifies a PEFC poplar wood core, rectangular full sidewalls and a Titanal beam. V-Profile, vibration absorption and reinforced torsion tip technology add further detail to the construction. Tip rocker and an oversized sidecut are intended to make turn initiation accessible while maintaining the ski’s carving identity.

The published shape measures 130mm at the tip, 75mm underfoot and 112mm at the tail. Available lengths run from 156 to 179cm, with stated radii ranging from 11 to 14 metres. These figures help distinguish the model from wider mountain skis and provide useful context when selecting a size.

For Winter Insight, the attraction is a clear connection between the design and a common ambition: improving carved turns on prepared runs. Skiers who already enjoy that process can assess whether the Forza 60 matches the next step they want to take. The technical specification is more valuable when tied to a specific goal.

Buyers should avoid choosing it simply because it sounds like a compromise between recreational and racing equipment. The important question is whether the intended character suits their skiing. Those who prioritise soft snow, park features or relaxed sightseeing laps should compare other categories before deciding.

Retailers can start with the customer’s current skis and ask what feels missing. Better technique, a different length and a new ski are separate possibilities, so the recommendation should identify the actual need. Explain the Konect system, confirm the binding offered and consider boots as part of the complete setup. A demo gives the skier a practical comparison.

Our verdict is that the Forza 60° TI Konect is a persuasive piste option for customers developing a more committed carving style. Its appeal lies in matching that ambition to the specification rather than promising automatic progression.
