Hi,

I saw these skis for 180€ euros on ebay (second hand), but I couldnt find any rviews of them.

Does anyone know any, or know if they are worth that price?

depends what condition they are in and what you want from your ski-
as you can see from the review there i doubt they would be worth 10euros anywhere but on the piste but if that is your thing and they are in decent condition then yeah Id say they are a good price!

But then again, what do I know?!

The thing that was worrying about, is that although I found many reference to Rossignol Radical 8X skis, I couldnt find anywhere any reference to the "world cup" version, which on the site was listed as being from 2009.

I was more worried about them not actually being real rossignol skis...

Some of the ski manufacturers use the WC as a way to differentiate between grades of race ski within the same model. WC versions may be a little stiffer, but often the difference would be in materials, such as more titenal (metal), to make for a damper ski that holds a carve better in rougher conditions, or maybe a faster P-tex base. Normally you pay more for the WC version.

because I'm so inclined .....
