Strengths:
Very nice first ski for me. Bought used for the same price as it costs to rent skis. Had no slalom or downhill experience as an adult and didn't know what GS meant in slalom terms. Now I know. Pure joy of speed. Skied one season and later compared with other skis and rental skis. These swept most of the cheap ones out there and the rental skis shook and trembled on hard surfaces at high speeds. These are relatively stable on hard surfaces, take powder piles and slush piles like a spear and smash them. Is first down the hill if you so wish. Good control though if I need it. If I started as a beginner with skis that are recommended, I might never have become addicted to this sport…
So for everyone out there, try different skis. GS, RC, SL etc. They all have their advantages. But there is no need for a ski that is too "difficult" for a beginner.
Weaknesses:
Lacks short fast turns at high speed. You need a little more space for these at increasingly higher speeds. Which applies to most GS, giant slalom skis with a higher turning radius. So nothing negative really.
Summary:
If you like speed, a used GS ski for cheap money can be a bargain. They seem to be, best bang for the buck. More stable than rental skis etc. Understand why some never take the step from rental skis as they feel shaky as soon as the speed goes over a limit.

Strengths:
Very fast-able skis that can withstand the wooden bow in the piste.
Weaknesses:
Difficult and saying because I did not test him offpist, but the landlord said they did not feel so good there.
Summary:
A nice and very speed-stable ski as it is made for high pistes in the piste.

Strengths:
+ High speed sleeper. Can burn sturdy slopes in 3 turns without flattering.
+ Terrain. Works very well in different terrains, ranging from loose snow to hard piste. In fact, do not throw away ice in the puck piste even though it's a grand slalom ski.
+ Good edge grip.
+ Good allround skiing - I prefer grand slalom as all-round and not "all-mountain skis" These are usually too bad in pistes, where you are at least 50% of the time no matter how ingrained off-piste mills you are.
Weaknesses:
- Ugly as a strike
- Could you have 1-2m shorter turning radius ...?
Summary:
Good skis that you can find very cheap now. I bought a new pair with a bid for 3000kr !!
For me, 174cm is the best fit. Have also tried 167 and 181.
I've heard what separates 8X and 9X (2004 and 2005) and it seems that 8X may be softer in the upper half. I do not know if this is a little scam because I do not feel any direct difference. Since I do not matter, I do not understand why I should bet on 9X.

Heard about the arrows. they should apparently be in the same direction. By the way, the skis are one of the best models I tested. Recommends warmly for those who want it to go away but steadily.

Extremely speed-stable ski that goes very fast and gives a wonderful feeling. 8X for a bit more flexible ski that feeds more for easier riders. Heavier skaters, probably get more out of 9X. Obviously a pistilage and the feeling of manchester are indescribable. Big difference to, for example, Salomon Crossmax 8, which does not have the same stability at higher speeds. Unfortunately, Rossisen is a gnaw ugly, to the appearance. If anyone else tested this ski, notice red arrows on the underside, pointing to the same direction on both skis, but should they not point in different directions? Anyone who knows....
