2023 Rossignol Evo Xt 55 Positrack Cross Country Skis W/ Tour Step In Bindings
The Rossignol Evo XT 55 Positrack is a versatile recreational cross country ski built for skiers who want one setup that works both in groomed tracks and on light off-trail adventures. It blends easy kick and glide performance with a stable, confidence-inspiring feel that makes it approachable across a wide range of conditions. Positioned as a true hybrid touring ski, it balances efficiency in the track with enough width and control to step out of the track when curiosity calls.
Why we like it:
We like how approachable and adaptable the Evo XT 55 feels on snow. It keeps things simple with predictable grip and glide, smooth flex, and a shape that does not demand perfect technique to have a good time.
Who it's for:
This ski is ideal for recreational skiers of any experience level who spend time at the nordic center, but want the option to go beyond the groomed track. It suits those who want a dependable, easy-to-use ski without committing to a race-focused or fully backcountry-specific model.
Highlights:
Rossignol builds the Evo XT 55 with a lightweight core that keeps the ski manageable over longer tours, while the Activ Cap construction promotes a smooth, even flex that feels forgiving underfoot. The Positrack waxless base pattern delivers consistent grip for climbing and steady kick without the need for kick wax, yet still maintains respectable glide across varied snow conditions. Its moderate width allows it to sit comfortably in a groomed set track, but there is enough platform underfoot to provide added stability and a touch of float when venturing onto ungroomed terrain. A subtle sidecut helps the ski track predictably and makes gentle descents easier to control, especially for developing skiers refining their downhill technique.
Things to consider:
The Evo XT 55 is designed as a middle-ground option, so it will not feel as fast and efficient as a dedicated track ski, nor as wide and supportive as a true backcountry touring ski. Skiers who spend all their time in one specific setting will prefer a more specialized tool.
Fit & sizing considerations:
The Evo XT 55 skis true to length, and size should be selected based on skier weight. Skiers prioritizing maneuverability and ease of control can size toward the shorter end of their recommended range, while those focused on glide efficiency and longer tours may prefer a slightly longer length for added tracking and speed.
