Rossignol’s Hero Master (R22 WC) is a high-performance on-piste ski designed to carve clean arcs on groomed snow. Equipped with the SPX 15 Rockerace Forza Master binding, it suits skiers who value precise edge control and a direct feel from turn to turn.
The ski’s 18 m turn radius and 116/70/98 mm profile balance quick turn initiation with stability at speed, while its 2050 g weight per ski keeps it responsive underfoot without feeling cumbersome.
