About
RC4 Noize ST Yellow Superflex + RC4 Z12 GW
The Fischer RC4 Noize ST is the short-turn, slalom-style model in Fischer's RC4 Noize race line, aimed at athletic skiers with high demands. Fischer rates it Advanced to Expert and builds it for groomed runs only. This set pairs the ski with Fischer's RC4 Z12 GW binding (DIN 3.5–12) on the Superflex plate.
Fischer calls it a slalom specialist: its short radius suits dynamic short turns with strong rebound, where the RC4 Noize LT is shaped for big turns.
