Fischer RC4 The Curv DTI review

They say

A balance of smoothness, speed, precision and stability means the RC4 The Curv DTI will bring a smile to the face of serious skiers looking for all-out fun on the mountain.

We say

A dedicated piste ski with high-octane heritage and a surprisingly accommodating side, the Curv DTI offers top-tier grip and performance for technically solid skiers who want a little leeway in turn shape and tempo.

Overview

Fischer’s RC4 The Curv DTI might fly the race-bred RC4 flag, but this isn’t a full-gas FIS beast. Instead, it’s a more welcoming thoroughbred—still fast, still fierce, but with a broader smile and softer edges. That makes it ideal for advanced and expert recreational skiers who crave a carve but aren’t chasing gates. Fischer’s graphics team has gone bold this season with two colourways—blue and red, or turquoise and teal—but underneath, both options offer identical performance.

Spec performance

Construction-wise, this ski is no slouch. A beech and poplar wood core forms the guts, sandwiched top and bottom by sheets of Titanal. Diagofibre reinforcement adds extra torsional stiffness by laying fibreglass at 45° angles across the ski. Fischer’s “Radical Triple Radius” design delivers tailored turn initiation, drive and exit—think short-swinging agility up front, a stable platform through the waist, and progressive release from the tail. There’s a touch of rocker in the tip to ease you into the turn, but the rest of the shape is business.

While Fischer nods to a bit of off-piste potential, let’s not kid ourselves—this is a piste tool, through and through.

Performance

You can feel Fischer’s racing pedigree as soon as you tip this ski onto edge. It’s eager, reactive and solid underfoot. The 14m radius (tested at 171cm) makes it a joy for short to medium arcs, but unlike full-bore slalom skis, there’s room here to play with tempo and line.

Rich reported, “The Curv DTI is lively and responsive, but you do have to work it and be on your game for bigger turns at high speed. Incredible edge grip and at mid-speed and radius it is excellent. I just didn’t feel as stable on it in longer turns.”

Meanwhile, Al—heavier and more aggressive—found it punched well above its weight: “The DTI gives infectious energy from turn to turn, with tenacious grip. This is a fantastic advanced-level skier’s weapon. The surprise is how readily you can adjust your turn shape, during a turn; this could well be a reflection of the Radical Triple Radius at play.”

Skier compatibility

This is not a ski for casual cruisers. The Curv DTI demands some attention and rewards clean technique. Advanced skiers will appreciate the blend of security and snap, while experts will be able to squeeze every ounce of performance from it. If you prefer drawn-out GS-style turns or a more relaxed approach, the softer, more directional Curv DTX might suit you better. But if you like to press angles and feel the carve, the DTI is a willing partner.

Conclusion

Fischer’s RC4 The Curv DTI is a precision instrument with just enough forgiveness to keep things fun. It thrives in the hands of those who know how to drive, but it won’t spit you out for the odd lapse. Packed with race-derived tech yet tuned for everyday excellence, it’s a smart pick for high-level piste aficionados who want to rail groomers from first chair to last.
