Rossignol S6 Caballero Ski

The Rossignol S6 Caballero may not have the radical shape of its sibling the S7, but it’s not exactly flying under the radar either. Fat but nimble like a cartoon hippopotamus, the S6's powerful yet forgiving nature makes it one of the best all-around Western skis available and an enviable addition to any quiver. At 110 underfoot, you can rely on it when the drifts reach second-story heights, but don’t mistake it for a one-trick powder pony; thanks to a 21-meter radius [186cm length] and lightweight WRS wood/composite core the S6 feels as agile as an all-mountain twin in any snow depth, ripping tight post-storm trees, bombing groomers, hitting the park and just acting super-friendly wherever you take it.

  • Viscoelastic Jib Absorbing System dampens rail shock and hard snow chatter
  • Rocking Chair Effect stiffens the midsection while softening the tip and tail for boosting ollies
  • Mixed Poplar, Fume, and Isocore composite in the core create a durable ski with predictable flex
  • Profiled-fiberglass Weight Reduction System claims a 800-gram improvement over traditional layup methods
  • Topsheet artwork by Steve Caballero

Bottom Line: When they start giving awards for looks…it’ll win some more.

Perfect weight to hard charging ratio

By:
August 24, 2009

My friends and I all have a pair of these mounted with Randonee bindings but we ski them everyday. For how fat it is, it'll ski everything, everywhere. When the time comes to unlock the heel and go touring in the backcountry its weight reduction construction pays off big time without making the ski too light. Learn from my mistake, if a ski is too light it won't ski well. The S6 is the perfect mix of light weight and hard charging.

I have a question about the rossignol scratch fs's. What

I have a question about the rossignol scratch fs's. What is a good binding for them how wide do the brakes need to be and are there any good sites or places to shop for inexpensive new or used bindings? I have Marker M1000s on them right now but last year a bad landing broke the back of of one of my bindings so i would rather replace and stick with the M1000 but am open to other bindings if needs be! Any help would be appreciated. By the way I live in utah and and a pretty aggresive skier (cliff, jumps, powder, steeper the better).

All mountain weapon

By:

Demoed this ski last year (186) and absolutely fell in love. Switch riding was a breeze with the insane amounts of stability from the 110 underfoot. But it skis so nimbly, that you don't realize it's size until you look down. Only thing these skis can't do well is moguls haha.
Hardpack - felt great carving at med/high speeds..stable, and very responsive and predictable flex pattern.
Crud - i'm used to riding freestyle skis, so this was a huge upgrade in stabillity, the extra length and stiffness underfoot made the ski bust through crud with ease, and the softness in the tip/tail made it so your knees didn't take much abuse no matter what the terrain.
Powder - the size/playfulness of this ski made it a blast in the pow, as well as being easily able to initiate turns and go turn to turn quickly, it was able to charge hard without losing responsiveness.
Park - They were a bit big for larger spins/switchups, but good for an EPesque riding style.. slow deliberate smooth spins. Things had tons of pop.. so much so that I flew over a few landings while getting used to it... not as easy on the knees. And again, very stable to ride switch, with tons of length/width to back you up however fast you want to go.

Bottom line - Amazing all mountain freestyle ski. Pretty much a giant park ski. Same general idea as the SFB or Lizzie, but a tad stiffer underfoot, and less sym. I believe.

Great Versatility

By: Backcountry.com Employee

These skis are very versatile. They are fairly lightweight for their size. 110mm underfoot lets them rock on any terrain. I wish that they were a tad stiffer for really charging hard in crud though. For not being rockered they ski pow amazingly well. They are stable at moderate to high speeds. Turn well on hardpack. These are the exact same ski as the Rossignol Steeze and previous versions of the Rossignol S6. They are also the same as the Telemark Rossignol Ravyn.
