A re-design of the core brings a new Bridge for 08/09. The chaps from Volkl were very excited by the Bridge last year and it proved hugely successful as it really is a go anywhere ski. The new core featuring “Multi Layer” technology hones the Bridges power reserves so it provides improved [...]
Fatter, stronger and built for some serious freeride action. The all-new Kiku possess some big stats, 133 - 105 - 124, so strong skiers looking for very specific big mountain freeride skis will enjoy the stability and sure-footed-ness that the wood core and “Tough Box” construction offer.
Even in the 161 length they make [...]
Based around the stunning Mantra the Aura is a big ski for pro to expert girl skiers.
With 94 mm underfoot they are perfect for most back-country conditions and shaped for large to medium turns. Stable sandwich construction, strong underfoot and reassuring to handle the Aura’s are great partners if you love playful back-country [...]
Based around the newly-reworked Ledge the Pearl are women specific freestyle to backcountry freestyle skis. With 84 mm underfoot there is enough to ride the backcountry plus stomp landings in the park and feel nice and stable when buttering.
Lower weight and softer flex differentiates the Pearl from the Ledge and makes for a [...]
Completely re-worked for ‘08/09 the new Ledge features some innovative technology from Volkl to keep this freestyle king at the forefront.
With the popularity of “buttering”, flat-land tricks that don’t require a kicker(jump” to launch from the skis are best designed with soft and extremely elastic, springy tips and tails to give you little kicks [...]
As ever the Gotama is “quintessential” amongst the armoury of many a hard core seasonaire skier. Although essentially a back-country jibber, they are probably one of the skis that invented the genre, the Gotama’s are very versatile and a great pair of all-round back-country skis. With 105 mm underfoot they are wide, they [...]
Now almost legendary in their status as versatile all-mountain freeride skis the Mantra’s are deservedly the most popular ski in Volkl’s V-ski line-up. I really love the Mantra’s they appeal to so many skiers with their high quality of build, excellent stability, cool graphics, great skiability (the flex is progressive, strong but rarely [...]
Very funky and cool looking back-country jibbers. The all-new Chop Stick’s head up Volkl’s "back-country jibbing" line.
The dimensions are mightily impressive, 148 - 128 - 148, skiing with the Chop Stick’s is like having a couple of old school water skis strapped to your hooves. Designed for fresh faced freestyle skiers who [...]
141 - 111 - 131 mm. Another BIG ski from Volkl but definitely in useable territory and more practical than the Kuro’s. This is a pros choice of skis, stable, maneuverable, large and built for high speed back-country ripping.
With an integrated "Powder channel" built onto the "swallow tail" enabling you to ride [...]
Oh my god not even more fat skis! Well the Kuro takes over the mantle chez Volkl of the baddest and the fastest, their older siblings the Sumo’s having being pensioned off.
A negative camber and enormous dimensions of 164 - 132 - 139 will certainly give you something to talk about in [...]
