Length, and the binding that almost always comes with it · review
Fischer RC Fire SLR 170 cm review
The most completely specified ski on the shelf: three widths, a radius at a named length, a stated ability band and a binding with its DIN range printed.
The bottom line The best-documented ski here: three widths, a radius, a named binding and its DIN range — with the radius quoted at a length this ski is not.
What the seller puts in writing, in full
Sidecut 118-73-101 mm. Radius 15.5 m at 165 cm. Length 170 cm. Skill level 1–4 on a 1–10 scale, terrain “mainly on the prepared piste”, speed “slow to medium”.
Then the binding, named and specified: Fischer RS9 SLR, GripWalk, DIN Z 2.5–9.
That is more than any other listing on this shelf gives, and it is the reason this ski is easy to place.
The figure that does not match the ski
The radius is stated at 165 cm. This ski is 170 cm. Radius grows with length, so the real figure here is a little above 15.5 m and the maker has not printed it.
That is not a criticism of the ski; it is the reason this page prints the condition beside the number instead of the number alone.
What 73 mm means
It is a piste ski. A 73 mm waist rolls from edge to edge quickly on hard snow and sinks in anything soft. The listing calls it “All Mountain” as well, which on this width is a word rather than a measurement — the number is the honest version, and it is printed above.
The binding, which is half the purchase
Z 2.5–9 is a wide range at the light end, and it is the figure that decides who the ski suits. GripWalk is declared, which matters if the boots you own carry a walk sole rather than a flat alpine one.
The maker also states what nobody else here states: have the binding mounted and set by a service workshop.

The declared figures, and where they run out
Strengths
The full sidecut and the radius are published, and the radius names the length it applies to — 15.5 m at 165 cm
The binding is named with its DIN range, Z 2.5–9, and declared GripWalk
A price in three of the six markets read, which is more than most of this shelf
Compromises
The radius is given at 165 cm while the ski on sale is 170 cm, so the figure is not the one for this length
No weight published
A 73 mm waist is a piste ski, and the listing also calls it All Mountain

Questions asked about this one
Is 73 mm at the waist narrow?
It is the narrow end of this shelf, and it is a piste width: quick from edge to edge on hard snow, and out of its element in anything deep. The listing also uses the words "All Mountain", which on a 73 mm ski is marketing rather than description.
What does the radius of 15.5 m mean here?
It is the arc the sidecut would carve, and it is stated at 165 cm. The ski sold here is 170 cm, and radius grows with length — so the true figure for this ski is slightly larger and the maker has not published it.
Does the DIN range suit me?
Z 2.5–9 brackets most light to medium adults and most children. Whether it brackets you is decided by a workshop from your weight, height, age and boot sole length, and this site does not calculate settings.
Who this one is for
A beginner to intermediate skier staying on piste, who wants the numbers printed
