What Fischer says about the Ranger 96
“A true all-around talent for having a blast in every turn. The Ranger 96 offers maximum versatility with a blend of stability, agility, and power. Piste or powder, good or bad weather, any kind of snow: The Ranger 96 is ready for every sort of all-mountain adventure. Its optimally balanced construction lets it handle any type of terrain.
The integration of Flex Cut and Shaped Ti reinforcement provides impressive edge grip, excellent control, and top ride quality. Drifting is also easy for guaranteed fun on or off groomed slopes. The Ranger 96 is the perfect choice for skiers who want to enjoy every type of skiing.
The Ranger ski line is the result of 30 months of intense collaboration between team athletes, shop employees, ski engineers, and ski addicts with the aim of getting more out of every day spent on snow, regardless of conditions or the terrain. The skis in the Ranger range are made in Europe and have been developed with close attention to the selection of raw materials and the use of recycled materials to minimise our environmental impact.”
