RC4, Not surprised, that's cos it probably doesn't stand for anything, just has a better ring to it than "Rossignol Poo"
Only thing that matters is what they feel like to your friend when skiing them, oh! And if they like the colour!

It's like asking what does Sir Francis Bacon mean on Line Sir Francis Bacon skis, or what does Mutix mean on Rossignol Mutix skis. It doesn't mean anything. Just someone's idea of marketing. What does GTi mean on a hatchback car? What does the model number of my washing machine actually mean? Answer: Nothing of any significant meaning.

Shoite Rossignol Xcrement?

You know it makes sense.

It's a linguistic advertising trick. X is normally used as it sounds a bit exciting and sexy, Z works too. Adding numbers make things sound sciency, S's, T's and R's make things sound racy and fast.
Car industary uses all the time. Case in point take the Daihatsu Avanzato Curore TR-XX-R4, a small-engined Japanese 4-door hatchback.
You can do it with most things, Snowheads example. fatbob-XSR sounds a bit sexier and racier than fatbob.
(apologies to Fatbob.)

Pity about the Curore, though. Sounds like an unfortunate cross between curara and horror.

 I think he should now change his username.

Richard_Sideways, if we're going to use that analogy I think I should be compared to a large underpowered eastern european estate which can't turn in less than nautical distances and stalls at any slight incline.

fatbob, sounds like you are in urgent need of rebranding then. A team of ad-men on danger money has been dispatched to your location.
