Ski Review 2019/2020: Men High Performance

Speed, steadiness and accurate turns all in one - "Men High Performance" skis are the perfect fit for athletic winter sportsmen looking for a pair of skis that combine high speeds and precise technique. 

>> To the Ski Review Men High Performance for the season 2021/2022

All-round high performance

"Men High Performance" skis are extremely versatile, suited for both long and short turns. Combining the best features of slalom and giant slalom skis, the technically advanced models excel especially on groomed runs. They are not quite as fast as giant slalom skis and not as aggressive as slalom carver models, making them an ideal all-round solution. 

Tested in the World Cup venue of Bad Kleinkirchheim, all of them have proven to be very good skis, with our winner even reaching the grade "excellent".

Target group: Athletic and highly athletic male skiers.
