Rossignol ARCADE 84 K Ski Set + NX 12 Bindings

Designed for intermediate to advanced male skiers, the Rossignol ARCADE 84 K + NX 12 binding pack is ideal for those looking to improve their skills on all types of mountain terrain without sacrificing versatility. With a waist width of 84 mm, this all-mountain ski strikes a balance between precision on the piste and ease in varied snow conditions. The Rocker-Camber-Rocker profile, combined with a 15-meter turning radius (for the 176-cm model), makes it easier to initiate turns while maintaining solid edge grip at higher speeds. The integrated binding rounds out the package with direct power transfer and an ergonomic design intended to simplify getting the skis on.

Ski technologies focused on stability and control on the Rossignol ARCADE 84 K + NX 12 Pack

The ski features a poplar wood core, a material that offers a good balance between weight, shock absorption, and elasticity. A central titanal plate complements this structure by reducing vibrations underfoot and increasing edge grip, which translates to better line control on hard or icy snow. The Rectangular Full Sidewall construction, with its vertical sidewalls running the entire length of the ski, optimizes force transmission for consistent precision and power. The Premium HARDTOP, meanwhile, ensures the durability of the base over time.

Line Control Technology (LCT) harnesses the ski’s energy to provide stability and line control in a variety of conditions. The Vibration Absorbing System (VAS) reduces vibrations transmitted to the foot for smoother contact with the snow, while the Air Tip VAS lightens the tip to facilitate turn initiation and improve maneuverability in technical sections. Finally, the Extended Sidecut improves edge grip at high speeds and maneuverability at low speeds—two qualities particularly useful for a skier progressing on varied terrain.

An intuitive binding for instant power transfer

The NX 12 binding integrates with the ski via the Konect system, designed to provide natural ski flex and instant power transfer. This system also allows for tool-free adjustment of the sole length (260 to 377 mm), making it easy to adapt to different boots. The DIN range of 3.5 to 12 covers a wide range of body types and skill levels. The binding is compatible with GripWalk® soles (ISO 5355 A and GripWalk® ISO 23223 A), a standard that is becoming increasingly common on today’s alpine ski boots.

The Easy Step-In/Step-Out feature offers a wide entry zone for easy boot-in, even while wearing gloves. The 180° multi-directional release operates independently of the heel for effective mechanical release in the event of a fall. The Full Action toe piece offers 45 mm of elastic travel and increased coupling force, ensuring reliable retention and superior shock absorption. The lightweight, easy-to-use NX heel piece balances ease of use with retention during descents.

Lightweight design for everyday use

The weight of the pair of skis ranges from 1.55 to 1.95 kg depending on the length chosen, thanks in particular to the use of optimized composite materials in the binding and the weight reduction at the tip via the Air Tip VAS. This focus on lightness is evident both when carrying the skis and in the ski’s overall responsiveness when carving. The set is available in four lengths: 160, 168, 176, and 184 cm, allowing every skier to find the size that best suits their body type and skiing style.
