NEW EDITION OF A LEGEND: RACETIGER GS AND SL
Since 1970, the Völkl Racetiger has stood for tradition and innovation. In winter 2022/23, the development of this legend continues: with the GS and SL, Völkl is bringing new Racetiger models to market highlighted by innovative technology and new geometries.
Thanks to the ultra-innovative technology of its Tailored Carbon Tips the new R-Motion 3 GW binding plate and a narrower waist for even faster edge changes, the Racetiger GS and SL set themselves apart from previous models. Both of these innovative key technologies, as well as alterations to the geometry have a significant impact on the ride characteristics of these racing models – the goal being a tighter radius with less power expenditure in race situations as well as lighter, smoother turn characteristics at moderate speeds. In this way, the new Racetiger models make high-performance skiing experiences accessible to an even bigger target group.
VÖLKL RISE - Touring skis
Equivalent ascent and descent performance - first choice for demanding alpinists in high alpine terrain
The Rise Above 88 with 3D radius sidecut is the most versatile ski in the RISE touring line from Völkl. Its strengths lie in both uphill and downhill performance. The multi-layer wood core with ISO-CORE ensures a low weight (1,186 g at 170 cm length), as well as stability and smooth running. The extremely trouble-free shovel of the 3D radius construction scores particularly well in wind-blown conditions. The sidecut geometry ensures the greatest possible liveliness and manoeuvrability in narrow passages, while the continuous sidewall provides good stability and resilience. The combination of pronounced taper underfoot and moderate taper in the tip and tail area ensures increased control and requires less effort, even on tours with heavy luggage.
Naturally, the Rise Above 88 is equipped with the Smart Skinclip System, which enables the use of Fibre-Tech or Smart Glue skins.
Since 1923 Völkl has stood for unlimited passion for skiing and making high performance products. Based in Straubing, Völkl is the largest (and one of the last remaining) manufacturer in Germany, and our headquarters is one of the most modern production facilities in the world.
Here, high-tech innovation meets traditional craftsmanship to create the most precise, highest quality, and technologically advanced skis in the world.
