SAME SOUL NEW DESIGN No introduction required: the Soul 7 is the world’s most celebrated freeride ski. For winter 2017/18, it returns in full-force – more playful and alluring than ever. Rossignol designer, Sébastien Genez, contributed to the reinvention of the Soul 7 for the 2017-18 season, and explains the upstream creative process of this project. What type of impact do you seek to create through ski design? The guiding light I’ve set for myself when designing a new ski is to highlight the ski’s key features while making it as eye-catching as possible. My main goal is that the skier feels the Rossignol touch and that I remain faithful to Rossignol’s style and identity. For me, Rossignol is fun but also very technical. When you’re skiing on a Soul 7 – you’re experiencing incredible performance and having a fun, amazing session. What was the biggest challenge of the Soul 7 redesign, and how did you respond?
to introduce our new bi-material tip which features a reinforced 3D structure that’s been fully-integrated into the core construction of the ski. The visual transparency and embossment throughout the new tip helps showcase this new, very homogeneous one-piece construction which helps concentrates power. What are your sources of inspiration outside of the skiing world? I really appreciate the way some brands have been able to gradually improve upon already excellent products, like the Volkswagen Golf and Apple iPhone for example. With the Soul 7, I found inspiration in the structure of deep sea coral, building architecture, and automotive design. Finally, I simply let myself be guided by my passion for the project. Drawing is my job, but I’m also a heavy user and a total fan of the Soul 7. That’s a ski I love riding.
Without disrupting the key elements that have made this ski so successful, the goal was to make the Soul 7 even more visually attractive while elevating the performance. Aside from this, we wanted 12

“I was very surprised because the set-up I had this season worked out very well. When you win six races in a season and you’re 2nd in two of them, it means you have a pretty good set-up. But when I tried the new boots they performed amazingly. The first few runs were so fast…” Henrik Kristoffersen

hero world cup
What do Frida Hansdotter and Henrik Kristoffersen have in common? Last season, both climbed to the highest step of the Slalom World Cup podium. This winter we introduce a new more eďŹƒcient and innovate model, developed jointly with these Band of Heroes members. ASYMMETRIC GRAPHIC DESIGN To top it off, the whole range is adorned with an asymmetric design for a maximum visibility of our HERO community.
DUAL CORE
A family of Rossignol champions with the shared values of passion and winning.
The all-new HERO boot features our innovative new DUAL CORE technology. Injecting highgrade materials with different degrees of rigidity through three points on the shell, and two on the cuff results in ultra-precise and strategic flex modulation. Harder durometer plastics in the areas that transmit power to the ski (spine, heel, lower shell); softer durometer in areas that need to wrap around the foot and lower leg (instep, front of cuff), DUAL CORE supplies progressive ex, energy, and rebound to our athletes.

For Rossignol, cross-country skiing represents a culture, a commitment to the mountain environment and the brand’s values, a point of convergence between Humans and Nature. Reflecting this viewpoint, this winter, we have joined forces with another market leader, Fischer, to develop the TURNAMIC® concept. TURNAMIC® is easy-to-use, high-performance and adaptable,
reflecting our vision of accessible nordic skiing by satisfying all members of the nordic skiing community, from enthusiasts to retailers.

COMPATIBILITY
EASE OF USE
TURNAMIC® is designed to be “Open”, because while it represents an opening towards the future of nordic skiing, it also maintains an unfailing link to the traditions of the discipline. This philosophy is reflected in TURNAMIC® products’ compatibility with the worldwide NNN®* standard. It is an innovation that is set to inject new energy into the market without shaking its foundations: a major breakthrough, yes - rewriting the rules, no!
TURNAMIC® has been designed to allow extremely easy operation for all stakeholders in the market. For skiers, it allows very intuitive foot entry/ exit and adjustments with few constraints. For retailers, it paves the way for extremely fast, tool-free mounting and removal across the entire range.
PERFORMANCE
CUSTOMIZATION
TURNAMIC® respects the ski’s construction, thanks to its non-intrusive IFP plate. It has a completely neutral impact on the ski’s natural behaviour, allowing it to express its full potential in the form of complete and no-loss energy transfer.
The other major asset of TURNAMIC® is its ability to adapt to different snow conditions as well as the skier’s level of proficiency. This easy-to-use concept allows the skier to very quickly and easily adjust the position of the binding on the ski according to the required level of glide and grip.

A stripe of urethane runs through the core of the board, all along the edges, delivering full length shock absorption, improving ride quality and board feel without sacrificing performance.
As an evolution of the L.I.T.E. Tech core package, Asym L.I.T.E. will naturally adjust the sidecut radius according to the pressure on the board, bringing shorter turns on the heel side and longer turns on the toe side. Greatly improving backside confidence and ride progression.
Custom fit. Grip L.I.T.E. brings pressure points where the urethane stripe hits the edge to maximize grip when you need it, never when you don’t.

PROGRESS MULTI-IMPACT TECHNOLOGY What is ROSSIGNOL’s mission? To help skiers practise winter sports in complete safety, imposing no constraints on their freedom. To achieve this, we follow an approach based on selecting the best technologies in the market for the construction of our ranges. This winter, ROSSIGNOL has decided to go for maximum impact with its PROGRESS range of helmets. A unique design featuring the new EPP In Mold technology, an expanded polypropylene foam with shape memory properties, has been developed to absorb impacts and protect the skier’s head.
1
Inspired by the idea that a helmet has multiple lives, that it is capable of withstanding different impacts, whether in the boot of the car taking skiers to the slopes or from falling off a table during après-ski in the sun, ROSSIGNOL decided to develop the Multi-Impact technology (EPP or expanded polypropylene). Thanks to its shape memory features, this light foam helps the helmet retain all its absorption properties. The aim being to offer maximum reliability and optimum protection over a longer period of time.
