The Fischer RC4 Superrace Jr Skis: Great Racing Skis for Kids

The Fischer RC4 Superrace Jr is an incredible ski that will let the smallest skiers take on the slopes in incredible racing fashion.  These skis are similar to the Fischer Worldcup SC, except they have a softer flex.  Other skiers compare the Superrace with the Fischer Competition ski, which is no longer manufactured.  No matter how you slice it, intermediate through advanced skiers will enjoy this ski.

Specs for the Fischer RC4 Superrace Jr

Here are the basic specs for the Fischer RC4 Superrace Jr:

• 11 m radius
• Sidecut 110 – 68 – 95
• Available in lengths 140, 150, and 160
• Comes with a choice of either RC4 Z9 FJ7 Juniorrail Race binding
• Sidewall sandwich construction for durability, strength, and stability
• Wood core
• Traditional camber rocker

These skis put less weight in the tip and tail so that turning is much easier and the skier enjoys greater control over the skis.  Kids who love hitting the slopes all the time and who are thinking about professional skiing will definitely love these skis.

Whether you are skiing on hard slopes or softer ones, these skis will make the trip down the mountain a breeze.

Why Skiers will Love the Fischer RC4 Superrace Jr

The Superrace skis are made almost entirely for on-piste riding, although they will work somewhat off the piste.  These junior race skis will give kids the action of racing while also providing a safe ride for intermediate to advanced skiers.

The air carbon cores are extremely lightweight and strong.  Handling and performance is a breeze with these skis, which are very easy to maneuver, even on ice.  Skiers will love the fast edging and the direct power transfer.

These skis are updated for the 2012 ski season, although it is rather easy to find both new and used versions of these skis.  These really are the perfect skis for any child who is serious about skiing and really wants to consider racing at some point in his or her life.

It is easy to see why so many people compare the Superrace Jr to the Competition Jr, which is no longer being made.

Here are the specs on the RC4 Competition Jr from Fischer.  These are from the 2010 – 2011 ski season.

• 11 m radius
• Sidecut 108 – 66 – 93
• Available in lengths 120,  130, 140, 150, and 160
