Sidewalls

Full Sidewall ABS
ABS is a durable and resilient plastic known for its strength and impact resistance. It offers high resistance to shocks and impacts, making the ski more robust and long-lasting. These sidewalls allow for precise power transfer from the skier to the edges of the ski.

Sidecut

4 Radius Drive

A Völkl innovation not yet offered by any other manufacturer. With this technology, Völkl sets a new benchmark for the ability to vary the turn radius and combine easy handling with rock-solid stability. This new design provides maximum versatility for various snow conditions both on piste and off piste, increased stability on hard surfaces, and improved performance on soft snow.

Radius 1:
Approx. 20 m in the frontmost 10 centimeters
A tighter radius only in the shovel to achieve a more immediate response to the skier‘s initial edge movement; maximum precision and agility

Radius 2:
Approx. 40 m in the area between the shovel and the binding. The open radius in the front part of the ski gives the ski more resistance to disturbances and stability at speed

Radius 3:
Approx. 15 m in the area under the binding
The tight radius in the camber area provides the ski with more agility even with slight edge movements of the skier, ensuring the necessary buildup of dynamics for short turns and radical carving curves.

Radius 4:
Approx. 25 meters in the area behind the binding up to the ski end. The moderate radius at the ski end ensures controlled and situation-adapted dynamics at the end of the turn and provides optimal support for transitioning into the next curve.

Multilayer Woodcore
The side wall is laminated to extremely stable layers of wood on the sides of the sandwich core. In combination with a more flexible, lighter wood built into the center of the sandwich core construction provides numerous advantages: The hardwood part immediately adjacent to the sidewall effects a higher power transmission, improves the edge grip and supports the edge against external forces. The low weight of the softwood part in the middle of the ski brings more agility and maneuverability and reduces overall ski weight. The combination of both wood types running through the entire ski length contributes to an optimal distribution of the ski stiffness increasing the steering precision. It is the first and only sidewall/core technology intended for aggressive on-piste and racing use and capable of delivering the victory and defeat, even if it is measured in hundredths of seconds.

Finish

Brushed
A superficial and shallow structure matches with wide skis and their bigger bearing face. Made for optimum agility with less catching and easier, smoother turning characteristics.

Straight from the factory to the mountain, Serial Finish ensures every ski is perfectly tuned for immediate performance. This precision-crafted surface treatment maximizes glide, sharpens turn initiation, and eliminates the need for additional prep work.
