Manufacturer's comment:
The RC4 Superior C-LINE sticks even on the toughest slopes and provides a perfect rebound. Its radius of 15 m makes the race ski tangy and perfectly suitable for slalom and giant slalom turns. Best torsion rigidity thanks to FULL CARBON JACKET and individual settings with the FLOWFLEX TUNE.IT-binding system.

Tester's comments:
The C-Line is packed with the latest developments from the Fisher Company. Particularly convincing is this "power-package" when making long turns and through it´s very good balance and optimum edge grip. His racy features impressed the testers. One or the other tester is considering taking the C-Line for his next race. More Open Space
