I can't comment on those Decathlon Skis - but just make some general (personal) observations.
For almost total Piste Skiing - look to a Piste Ski (Waist: 68 - 75).....165 - 170 cm
For mostly Piste, but a bit of Off Piste - look to a narrow All Mountain Ski (Waist: 80 - 85).....170 -175 cm
For a good mixture of On and Off - look to a wider All Mountain Ski (Waist: 88 - 93).......170 - 175 cm
Personally, as you are quite light, I would go for skis on the more playful end of the spectrum, unless you charge about at high speed, with decent technique.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@Old Fartbag, they are not Decathlon skis, the OP is asking about Fischer RC4s ( the first link)
Given their size underfoot would be considered purely on-piste rather than off?
117-73-101 cm (il 160cm)
RAGGIO 15 m (il 160 cm)

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I realise that - but it was lazy wording on my part....as by Decathlon Skis, I meant the skis that were linked to, at Decathlon.
I agree that those listed are Piste oriented skis.

You'll need to Register first of course.

I don't know whether they have changed much but several years ago I bought the Fischer RC4 Race RC which seem pitched at a similar level- good intermediate to advanced
They are a kind of lock and load ski- good edge grip on hard pack, very nicely stable at speed even at 175 length- but I certainly wouldn't count them as a floaty ski off piste! They will not float - you can use them off piste but have to put in quite a bit of work, either steering long turns like a speedboat ploughing through the snow or doing jump turns if steep.

@CH2O, could you compare the BentChentler 100 to the Rustler 9?
