Expert reviews 1
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.
Base shape (camber)
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.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
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.
Where it shines
Who it suits
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.
Good
- ✓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
Not so good
- —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
