What Fischer says about The Curv

The RC4 The Curv is a top level ski for top skiers. It combines the performance of an all-out racing ski with the versatility of an all-arounder to guarantee the ultimate in turning enjoyment as well as straight-up fun from the first turn through to the last.

Specially positioned carbon fiber in the binding area provides confidence-inspiring edge grip. Diagowrap, a carbon reinforcer around the wood core, plus the use of Titanal, keep the weight low and the stability high. Radical Triple Radius shape allows dynamic, sharp turns of any size radius. An original M-Plate allows optimal power transfer and acceleration so you can really push the envelope.
