This Rossignol alpine ski set combines the Forza 40 CA ski with the XP11 binding for intermediate skiers looking to improve their carving skills on groomed runs. The PEFC-certified poplar wood core and Carbon Beam reinforcement ensure stability and precision when initiating turns. The XP11 GW binding, compatible with both GripWalk and traditional alpine boots, offers a DIN adjustment range of 3.5 to 11.0, suitable for a wide variety of rider profiles.
Designed for beginner to intermediate male skiers, the Rossignol FORZA 40' CA + XP11 Bindings package is designed to help you improve on groomed runs by refining your carving technique. Its PEFC-certified poplar wood core, combined with a Carbon Beam reinforcement, provides a solid foundation for greater precision and control turn after turn. Available in lengths from 150 to 179 cm, this set accommodates a wide range of body types and skill-building goals.
The sidecut of 127/75/111 mm, measured at 171 cm, creates a ski that is relatively narrow at the tip and tail, optimized for grip on groomed snow. The 14-meter turning radius, at this same length, facilitates short to medium turns, making it easier to initiate and link turns without requiring highly advanced technique. The Piste Rocker profile at the tip, combined with a central camber, ensures solid contact with the snow during the pressure phase, while making turn initiation more accessible. Oversized Sidecut technology contributes to this same goal by widening the lateral contact area for a more intuitive ride.
The poplar wood core, sourced from PEFC-certified sustainably managed forests, forms the backbone of the ski. This material offers a good balance between weight and energy return, which translates into a responsive feel when initiating turns. The Carbon Beam reinforcement complements this structure by providing targeted stiffness along the longitudinal axis, limiting flex at high speeds. The SINTERED HD BASE, which is naturally porous, absorbs wax more effectively and ensures long-lasting glide performance. The set weighs approximately 3,200 g per pair, including skis and bindings, a weight suitable for regular on-piste use.
The XP11 GW bindings included in the package cover a DIN range of 3.5 to 11.0, making them suitable for both cautious beginners and dedicated intermediate skiers looking to push their technical limits. GripWalk compatibility (ISO 23223 standard) expands the choice of boots: models with rounded soles, which are more comfortable for walking, are compatible without an adapter, as are traditional Alpine boots (ISO 5355). This dual compatibility offers a practical advantage when choosing boots, without limiting future equipment options.
