Dynastar Legend 88 review 2018
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
The reviewers found the Legend 88 to be globally well behaved, especially on the piste. However, they felt it lacked responsiveness on the groomed runs, and stability and smoothness on challenging terrains, probably due to its relative flexibility.
Review: Pros
- Good behavior on piste
- Accessible and user-friendly
- Versatile for all turns
- Smooth in all snow conditions
Review: Cons
- Lacks a certain liveliness, not very playful
- Stability found wanting, especially off-piste
- Flexibility hampers behavior in crud and on steep slopes
