2012 Rossignol Ski Boots (Buy Direct)

Rossignol as a maker of fine competitive and recreational skis has a history going back to the early 1900s. However, it wasn't until 1989-90 that the company got into the business of making ski boots. This came about when Rossignol purchased Lange, a brand of ski boots around since 1965, and the innovator of the plastic ski boot.

Obviously, Rossignol absorbed all of what was best in the Lange Research and Development and applied this technology through the evolution of stiff plastic - racer only - type boots and into the rear entry recreational models. Eventually Rossignol moved beyond the rear entry system developing a compromising front entry easy on boot. The Rossignol commitment to making a great recreational ski boot based on the feedback of engineering excellence garnished from their race program continues to this day.

Race Series

Models:
  • Radical Worldcup ZC
  • Radical Worldcup ZB
  • Radical Worldcup ZA
  • Radical Worldcup ZA Soft
  • Radical World Cup SI 130

The Rossignol Race selection offers the original R2006 Plug Boot design in 4 flexes to allow more athletes to have an opportunity to ski in these boots.

The Radical Worldcup ZC is the stiffest; they get softer as you come down in letter. The Radical Worldcup ZB, Radical Worldcup ZA and the Radical Worldcup ZA Soft all come with the crushing 92mm forefoot and the Polyether extra stiff walls for performance. The flex would be 160/150 depending on YOUR height, size and strength.

These ski boots along with the Radical Worldcup SI 130 at 97mm will do what you ask if you ask correctly. They sell these boots for men and women as well as some young racers.
