2022 Rossignol Nova 14 Ti

While the Nova 14 Ti bears more than a passing resemblance to the unisex React R10 Ti, it’s not a clone in women’s colors. It has its own version of Rossi’ signature Line Control Technology (LCT), called LCT Soft, plus Carbon Alloy Matrix, which adds oodles of damping with very little mass, along with Titanal laminates for extra power and control. Rossignol is the only brand I can think of that draws attention to how each model reacts to pressure. A stiffer flex that transfers the skier’s energy along a cambered baseline is called “Boost Flex,” indicating that it stores enough energy to hoist the skier across the fall line. What a great way to encapsulate the behavior of a ski like the Nova 14 Ti.
