It will stiffen up the boot/binding complex. Provide you with more lateral stiffness, more power. Remember you Rossi X12 sole is rubber. You'll have to try it out. If you don't like it, remove the cables in 15 seconds and enjoy the 3pinbinding cable free. Thanks! That means I'll probably get cable ...

To me it sounds like you have already made your decision with NNN-BC and Rossi BCX 10s. Just go and have fun with them. If after a while, you feel like they are unsufficient, teturn to this thread, reread, and reconsider. No... my mind ain't made up. :-) The Rossi BCX 10s are for my narrower XADV s...

... all of which leads me to the issue of parallel , as opposed to tele turns with the Rossi BC 110s. A few thoughts and questions occur to me. Perhaps someone can help. 1) I want as much kick and glide as I can get. This would point to NNN BC, right? 2) But for turns, I also want the stiffest of no...

Update: I was using Rossi BC X-6 boots with my Salomons in the Alps, last week... and yes, I know they are soft! But now, the Rossi BC X-10s have arrived on my doorstep and they are much, much stiffer. Ordering them was a bit risky on the one hand, because I have seen so little mention of this model...

If you plan on skiing harder snow conditions than blissful pow pow, I suggest you try a voile 3-pin cable binding. That way, you can try with both cables on and off, using a 75mm boot as soft or as stiff as you like.

That advice carries a couple of pleasant messages! Thanks!

Heck, 78mm sounds like a perfect underfoot width for hardpack downhill and groomers. I would go with a stiffer, heavier alpine ski though for that (than a BC XCD ski). Though this might be the wrong place to say so, I have to admit: When I'm on downhill groomers, I won't be using XCD or any other n...

That's truly impressive skiing! In both cases!

Nice to talk to you directly. I have linked to your videos several times in German forums and on Facebook!

You have to distinguish between what belongs to marketing and what is anchored in facts... Right now, I figure if I'm using my new Rossi BC 110 as a ski for the fluffy stuff it won't be much harder to turn safely than my Salomon ADV89 on harder snow. If I'm wrong, I'll do something completely diffe...

Here's something I can't figure out... People say that NNN BC is okay for turns up to a particular width underfoot. But surely, if I am skiing a very wide ski, I am usually doing so because the snow is deep and somewhat fluffy and relatively easy to turn in. Why would I be skiing such a ski on rough...

I'm very new to the XCD genre - but this is a ski I could persuade to turn immediately with Rossi BCX 6 boots, NNN BC. My background is solidly alpine, so the turns were parallel... but nice and short.
