Rossignol, a leading name in the skiing world, has just launched the highly anticipated Sender Free 100 skis for 2026. Building on the success of their acclaimed Sender Free series, which includes podium-topping models like the Sender Free 110 and 118, the Sender Free 100 emerges as a perfect daily driver ski designed for adventurous riders looking to tackle all types of terrain.
With its mid-waisted construction, the Sender Free 100 has become a favorite among both casual skiers and hardcore enthusiasts alike. Tester David Zorko remarked, "The Sender Free 100 is a ski that conveniently falls into both categories. It’s versatility as a freestyle-friendly everyday ripper is astounding." Whether you're carving hardpack, playing in the park, or dipping into powder, the Sender Free 100 is built to handle it all with grace.
Key Features and Specifications The Sender Free 100 skis boast impressive specifications: * **Size Skied:** 184cm, 190cm * **Lengths Available:** 162cm, 170cm, 178cm, 184cm, 190cm * **Sidecut:** 131mm - 100mm - 123mm * **Radius:** 18m (178cm) * **Profile:** Twin tip rocker * **Weight:** 2000g (184cm)
This ski incorporates a familiar twin-tip shape, which allows for easy maneuverability and playfulness. The narrower build compared to its siblings provides a stiffer feel that enhances performance on firmer snow, while the shorter 18m turn radius contributes to snappy turns and energetic carving.
Interestingly, the Sender Free 100 is metallic-free, relying on a robust wood core for its stiffness and damping characteristics. "I was actually surprised to learn that the Sender Free 100 didn’t contain any metal," noted one tester. The ski still offers remarkable grip and dampening, replicating a metal-like performance while delivering substantial pop and quick rebound during turns.
Enhanced Design Elements The design of the Sender Free 100 incorporates Rossignol's innovative Air Tip construction. This unique feature minimizes weight at the tip by integrating a honeycomb structure, reducing chatter significantly on uneven terrain. The ski also recommends a mount point that is notably far forward — -3.5cm from true center — providing skiers with an exciting and responsive feel.
As many skiers venture into diverse terrains, the Sender Free 100 is built to accommodate a wide range of conditions, making it a versatile choice. Whether you're cruising through trees, navigating moguls, or enjoying fresh powder, this ski delivers performance that is sure to impress.
With its flexible design and engaging features, the Rossignol Sender Free 100 is set to become an essential part of any skier’s gear lineup. Whether you're chasing the thrill of the slopes or enjoying a relaxed day with family and friends, this ski is ready to perform.
