2026 Rossignol Forza 40 CA Skis W/ Xpress 11 GW Bindings
Redesigned for 2026, the Rossignol Forza 40 CA is a frontside carving ski designed to help developing skiers refine their technique with confidence. Paired with the lightweight Xpress 11 GW bindings, this setup offers a smooth, stable ride that encourages progression on groomed terrain.
Why we like it:
It delivers a balanced blend of forgiveness and responsiveness, making it an excellent choice for skiers looking to advance their carving skills without being overwhelmed.
Who it's for:
Ideal for beginner to intermediate skiers seeking a reliable and approachable ski that supports skill development on groomed trails.
Highlights:
Featuring a PEFC-certified poplar wood core reinforced with a carbon beam, the Forza 40 CA offers a lightweight yet stable platform. The Rectangular Full Sidewall construction enhances edge grip and precision, while the Oversized Sidecut and Piste Rocker profile facilitate easy turn initiation and control. The V-Fiber Glass layer adds torsional rigidity, ensuring the ski maintains its line even in challenging conditions.
Things to consider:
While the Forza 40 CA is excellent for learning and progression, advanced skiers may find it lacks the high-speed stability and power of more performance-oriented models.
Fit & sizing considerations:
Skis true to size. For optimal maneuverability and control, especially for those still developing their technique, consider selecting a length around 10 cm shorter than your height.
