Description
The X-IUM WCS is a high-performance ski, especially on compact snow where its dynamic and guiding qualities work wonders. As an alternative to the Premium model, it has an identical shell and sole construction. A slightly cheaper compromise for a ski with a performance level very close to the Premium model.
What are the characteristics of the Rossignol X-IUM WCS S2 Medium IFP cross-country ski?
It is now often compared to the Premium model because it is the one that paved the way for the latest models of the French brand. Although certain technical concepts differ, it is nevertheless very similar in terms of design. Its Nomex core ensures lightness and lateral torsional rigidity. This type of honeycomb shell, being vertically arranged, helps to limit the lateral torsion of the ski during thrust. The Supra Edge technology present on the edges is also a determining factor in the ski's good skating performance. Aggressive on compact snow, it also benefits from Rossignol's know-how in terms of cambers to offer fantastic dynamism at the end of the thrust. The Medium camber also ensures great versatility according to the type of snow, and the ski does not remain completely planted with a spatula on soft snow. There is no doubt about the general behaviour of the ski, and Rossignol's tradition is fully respected here in terms of guidance and acceleration during relaunch phases. The sole chosen leaves no room for doubt as to its quality, as it is the same sole as on the old Premium model. This K 7000 Universal sole has a cold multi-purpose structure that is suitable for common snow conditions between 0 and -6°C. In terms of sensations, its efficiency in skating on compact snow and the dynamic ski clearance at the end of active thrust can only be praised. In terms of binding assembly, it is fitted with IFP plates, designed exclusively for the assembly of Turnamic bindings. These bindings are compatible with Prolink, NNN and Turnamic boot standards. At present, this WCS S2 is one of the best quality/price ratios on the market in its category. This ski benefits from a tried and tested top-of-the-range construction and a very good quality finish.
Who is the Rossignol X-IUM WCS S2 Medium IFP cross-country ski intended for?
The WCS was developed by Rossignol for the world's best racers in the mid 2010's. Over time, the Premium model appeared, but the technologies of the WCS are still relevant and many of the technologies of the Premium are derived from the WCS. It is therefore a performance-oriented ski, but contrary to popular belief, it can also be adapted for sporty skiers who are not competition-oriented. Its quality/price ratio is really excellent and it can satisfy a large panel of skiers as long as they already have the correct technical notions.
