Rossignol Soul JR 104–140 KID-X are girls' children's and junior all-mountain skis designed to make both the first steps on skis and subsequent technical development easier for young skiers. The construction focuses on intuitive handling, easier turning and speed control, helping children build confidence and gradually progress to a higher skiing level. Thanks to the wide range of lengths from 104 to 140 cm, the model covers the needs of the smallest skiers as well as more experienced juniors and, according to the product classification, is designed for groomed slopes as well as softer and ungroomed snow.
At the heart of the skis is a Microcell Core, a lightweight composite core complemented by CAP construction and Fiberglass reinforcement. The manufacturer uses a specifically designed junior flex intended to match the physical capabilities of younger skiers and make the skis easier to control. The construction therefore does not require excessive force to flex and allows children to work more easily with direction, turning and controlled stopping.
The geometry changes depending on ski length. The 104 to 116 cm versions have dimensions of 106-74-98 mm, while the 122 to 140 cm lengths use a 108-76-100 mm geometry. The construction therefore gradually adapts to increasing ski length and the needs of larger junior skiers. Oversized Sidecut technology combined with the Tip Rocker profile supports easier turn initiation, intuitive changes of direction and easier pivoting in changing terrain.
The model is available in 104, 110, 116, 122, 128 and 140 cm lengths and comes with the recommended KID 4 GW B76 BLACK binding. According to the supplied product classification, the binding is intended for skiers weighing up to 45 kg. The result is a complete children's and junior set with a wide range of lengths, providing young skiers with an easy-to-control construction both when learning the basics and when gradually developing more confident and technically advanced skiing.
Who are these skis designed for
Rossignol Soul JR 104–140 are designed for girls and young junior skiers looking for easy-to-control and versatile skis for learning and further technical development. The wide range of lengths makes it possible to select a suitable version for both smaller children and larger juniors, while the character of the model remains focused on intuitive control and gradually building confidence.
The model is particularly suitable for young skiers who:
are learning basic skiing skills or want to continue improving them
need easy-to-control skis with a junior flex
want to build greater confidence when turning, changing direction and stopping
ski mainly on groomed slopes but also want to handle softer and more varied snow
prefer a more versatile all-mountain character over a purely piste-focused design
want Tip Rocker to support easier turn initiation and pivoting
need a length from 104 to 140 cm according to height, weight and skiing ability
are looking for a construction with a composite core and fiberglass reinforcement
want a complete set with KID 4 GW bindings
Soul JR 104–140 are not junior race skis focused on maximum precision and high speeds. Their main purpose is to provide children and younger juniors with an accessible character that allows them to gradually master basic movement on skis, speed control and different ways of turning before continuing with further technical development.
How the skis perform on the slopes
The geometry of the Soul JR changes depending on length. The shortest 104–116 cm versions use dimensions of 106-74-98 mm, while the 122–140 cm lengths have dimensions of 108-76-100 mm. The smaller skis therefore have a 74 mm waist, while the longer versions increase to 76 mm. Both designs remain focused on easy handling and more versatile use.
For lengths from 104 to 122 cm, the turn radius gradually increases from 7 to 10 metres. These very short radii correspond to children's ski lengths and support easier handling in shorter turns. As the length increases, the character of the ski gradually changes to suit a larger skier and further technical development. The supplied technical specifications do not state the radius for the 128 and 140 cm lengths, so these values cannot be specified accurately.
The Tip Rocker profile and specifically designed junior flex focus on intuitive control. According to the manufacturer, the skis allow children to use changing terrain to their advantage, making it easier to pivot the skis, steer through skidded turns and stop in a controlled manner. This is particularly helpful during the learning process, when being able to easily control both direction and speed is essential.
How to understand the specifications
Dimensions 106-74-98 / 108-76-100 mm
Rossignol uses two different geometries on the Soul JR 104–140 depending on ski length:
104–116 cm – 106-74-98 mm
122–140 cm – 108-76-100 mm
The first value indicates the width of the tip, the second the width of the ski under the binding and the third the width of the tail. The shorter versions have a 74 mm waist, while the longer versions increase to 76 mm. The construction therefore changes together with ski length, adapting the geometry to the different sizes of the model.
The wider tip and tail combined with the narrower waist create the ski's sidecut. Together with Oversized Sidecut technology and the Tip Rocker profile, the geometry is focused on easy changes of direction and an accessible character suitable for children's and junior use.
Turn radius 7–10 m
For the lengths where the manufacturer provides specific figures, the turn radii are:
104 cm – 7 m
110 cm – 8 m
116 cm – 9 m
122 cm – 10 m
The short radii correspond to children's ski lengths and primarily support easier execution of shorter turns. The radius gradually increases with ski length, allowing the character of the ski to naturally adapt to the larger size of the model.
For the 128 and 140 cm lengths, no specific turn radius is stated in the supplied technical specifications. It is therefore not possible to reliably provide an exact value based solely on the geometry or the radii of the shorter versions.
Lengths 104–140 cm
Rossignol Soul JR are available in 104, 110, 116, 122, 128 and 140 cm lengths. This wide range makes it possible to select a suitable length for children and junior skiers of different heights, physical proportions and skiing abilities.
The specific length should be selected according to the child's height, weight, physical build and technical ability. Shorter skis are generally easier to control and are suitable for smaller or less experienced skiers, while the longer versions are appropriate for larger children and can provide more room for further technical development.
Weight according to length
The manufacturer specifies the following weights:
104 cm – 1.4 kg
110 cm – 1.5 kg
116 cm – 1.6 kg
122 cm – 1.7 kg
For the listed versions, weight gradually increases together with ski length. No specific weight is provided for the 128 and 140 cm lengths in the supplied technical specifications, and the measurement methodology is also not specified in greater detail. The values above should therefore be understood as the manufacturer's technical specifications for the respective length variants.
Technologies
Microcell Core
The model uses a Microcell Core, a composite core designed for junior ski construction. The core forms the structural foundation of the ski and contributes to its flex, weight and overall behaviour under load.
For the Soul JR, the combination of the composite core and specifically designed junior flex is particularly important. The construction is intended to match the physical capabilities of younger skiers so that they can control the skis more easily when turning, changing direction and managing speed.
CAP Sidewalls
The skis use CAP Sidewalls construction. The CAP construction is part of a design focused on junior use and is combined here with the Microcell Core and Fiberglass reinforcement.
On the Soul JR, the priority is not race-level stiffness or maximum precision at high speeds, but rather a practical combination of easy handling and a construction suitable for regular children's and junior skiing.
Fiberglass
The construction is reinforced with Fiberglass layers. Fiberglass forms part of the ski's structural design and contributes to its mechanical properties and resulting flex.
Combined with the Microcell Core and CAP construction, it creates a foundation appropriate for a children's and junior all-mountain model. The overall construction remains focused on controllable and predictable behaviour that supports the gradual development of skiing skills.
Oversized Sidecut
Oversized Sidecut technology works with the ski's sidecut to support a combination of easy turning and versatile performance. On the Soul JR, the geometry changes according to length between 106-74-98 mm and 108-76-100 mm.
The sidecut, combined with the short children's turn radii, helps create a character focused on easier changes of direction. For a young skier, the key benefit is being able to control the ski intuitively without having to apply excessive force when initiating a turn.
Tip Rocker
The Tip Rocker profile uses a raised front section of the ski and is designed to support easier turn initiation and simpler control in changing terrain. The manufacturer particularly highlights the ability to pivot, steer and stop the skis easily.
Combined with the junior flex, Tip Rocker helps create an accessible character suitable for learning. A young skier can therefore adjust direction more easily, work with skidded turns and control speed according to their current ability.
Extruded Base
The model uses an Extruded Base. This is a type of base used in the ski construction that corresponds to the practical focus of a children's and junior model.
For skis designed for regular use by children, not only the geometry and core characteristics are important, but also a functional running surface. The Extruded Base forms part of the overall Soul JR construction.
KID 4 GW B76 BLACK binding
The recommended binding for this model is the KID 4 GW B76 BLACK (FCKKK01). According to the supplied specifications, the skis are offered with bindings and therefore form a complete children's and junior set.
According to the product classification, the binding is intended for skiers weighing up to 45 kg. However, this figure does not replace professional adjustment of the safety binding. The specific setting must always correspond to the individual skier's parameters, and both installation and adjustment should be carried out by a professional ski service.
