Tester's opinion:
Due to the very high smoothness in long turns, the 24 Hours gets a very good rating. In the short turns the Salomon is a bit harsh, which is also reflected by the need of more body effort. Although for Manuela Mösenbichler and Ingrid Salvenmoser this ski seems to be tailor-made, because they both award the highest ratings to this model.

Manufacturer's comment:
The first slalom race carver with rocker technology. A rotation friendly and mistakes forgiving ski that offers skiers at any level the best conditions for their fun in skiing.

Salomon builds with the X-Kart - as some competitors - on the rocker technology. This makes this ski to your best friend on the slopes, but also to a reliable partner on not prepared slopes. And don´t forget he looks good too! - Congratulations to the silver medal in Snow Style! More Open Space
