24/25 season review
This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
The Rossignol XV Sushi is an all-mountain/carving-specialised board with a camber-based hybrid profile and a stiff flex, suited to advanced riders who enjoy speed and technical terrain. Carving and edge-holding performance are excellent, but it shows pronounced limits in trick-style riding such as buttering and in low-speed handling.
Designed to target hardcore all-mountain riders in the Xavier De Le Rue mould, it delivers thoroughly satisfying performance for riders with a matching riding style.
A closer look
These descriptions and scores are linked to this review. They may differ from manufacturer specifications.
Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Hybrid camber
Rosal's 'Amptech Elite Rocker' profile with camber between the feet, a long rocker section at the nose and a short one at the tail. It provides manoeuvrability in tight sections and stability between the feet at once.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A directional flex with a stiff nose and comparatively soft tail, favouring driving and generating pop. Torsional flex is also stiffer than average, and it isn't suited to buttering.
Terrain suggested in the review
Rider levels suggested in the review
Advanced
A stiff torsional flex, carving that needs speed and the difficulty of buttering give it a strongly hard character overall — a board designed for advanced riders like Xavier De Le Rue who enjoy steep, technical terrain.
What the review liked
- ✓Excellent edge holding and carving performance at speed
- ✓Excellent energy return from the tail provides strong pop
- ✓It maintains a stable edge off side hits and in technical terrain
- ✓A stiff nose enables quick edge re-engagement even on rough snow
What the review found lacking
- —Very unsuitable for trick-style moves such as buttering
- —Carve transitions are difficult at low speed and generating pop falls off
- —Insufficient vibration absorption causes bouncing on rough snow
- —High torsional flex can make it hard for the average rider to handle
