The Rossignol BLACKOPS Sender Ti is back for another season with no changes to its shape, construction, or even topsheet graphic. These skis were brand new for the 2020/21 ski season and marked a fundamental shift from Rossignol's previous freeride skis like the Soul 7. The Sender Ti is the stiffer, heavier, and burlier version of 2 skis that share very similar shapes, the other being the non-Ti Sender. This ski is the real deal and is designed to offer powerful performance for aggressive skiers who want to charge through off-piste terrain and softer snow conditions. That concept is reflected in the fact the ski only comes in three total lengths, wth the shortest being 180 cm. In other words, if you want a shorter length, Rossignol thinks you should be on the lighter Sender too. There's a lot going on in this ski's construction. A poplar wood core kicks things off, then Rossignol adds two Line Control Technology ABS struts. This is similar to how they build their race skis, but with ABS instead of metal. They then give the ski a full sheet of metal just above the base, then a partial sheet of metal underfoot. Damp Tech in the tip and Carbon Alloy Matrix complete this complex build. The shape is a little more straight-forward. The ski has less rocker and taper than the previous Soul 7. It's still a directional ski and there is still noticeably more tip rocker than tail rocker. Instead of abrupt taper like the Soul 7, this tip has a more modern look to it.
