tried both 165 and 173 and bother were basically brand new. the 165s are real nice to use, great for fast carving like rossi say. however the 173 were a lot harder work and didnt carve as well. also when the snow starts getting deeper than about 10 cm on the slope then its time to find some other skis as they really dont work well in soft snow.

These are my favorite skis all categories, their fast, easy to handle, easy to control in the air and have perfect grip. The only downside is that you can’t relax with these skis on, it’s either all or nothing. I use the 160cm long ones.

I have bought past year the rossi x fight 2 .I found them so easy to fast carving ski .So easy to carve at max speed.It needs speed to give you the maximum capability , but the pleasure its so great .Its not so comfort ski ,in the ice its the one of the top ski in this category .It needs harder work than other skis but for the expert i thing they ‘ll found them perfect
