At first glance, you will instantly be able to tell that these skis aren't for the terrain park. However they will rapidly propel you to take them through some very intimidating runs. Introducing the Bandit XX's. Thanks to rossignol's experience in ski-manufacturing and all around know-how, they have once again come up with another great riding ski.
This ski is perfect if you are looking for an intermediate to expert level ski. However, if you are just getting the hang of the sport then they will be too much for you. The Banit XX is an elongated and slightly wider version of it's predecessor the Bandit, giving it that authentic hourglass shape that screams freeride. Regardless, it isn't the best at making quick turns and is not the lightest thing on the slopes by any means. Also, this ski does tend to get a tad bit shaky as you reach breakneck speed, so if you just like to go fast then go for something a little less wide.
These are the ski's that I currently own and have owned for a couple of years. As far as durability, I really don't think anything compares. I've put these ski's through a lot of wear and tear ranging from tree trails to closed trails, from ice to rocks and they have come through relatively unscathed aside from the occasional waxing (which needs to happen frequently if you really abuse these things), but other than that, they have lasted me through many, many runs. My suggestion would be to buy yourself a pair of these and rip it up.
