All-mountain precision in freeriding dimensions with the light weight of a touring ski The Blaze series, which was successfully launched last year, is being expanded to include a new model with four lengths and 86mm under the boot. In addition to the proven 3D radius sidecut, the Blaze 86 is built with a full tip-to-tail wood core. This not only trims the weight and makes the ski more lively, but also eliminates the need for plastic panels—a small but positive environmental aspect. The 86 model also comes with elasticated, rubbery suspension elements on the edges of the tip and the tail, which act as a bumper in wind-blown or unfavorable snow conditions and not only offer more resistance to disruption but also deliver great flotation. The Blaze series is generally designed for fast, short turns. However, the three different radii, especially in combination with the full hybrid multilayer wood core, are designed for every riding style and can handle even the most ambitious use. From the all-mountain skier who wants to go off-piste, to the classic freerider or touring skier who will put up with an extra 100g of weight for significantly improved skiing performance, the Blaze 86 is a top recommendation! Thanks to its lightweight, the Blaze is also used as a freeride touring ski. To this end, Völkl also offers Smart Glue skins that have been perfectly tailored to each Blaze model. - 3D Radius Sidecut - Full Sidewall - Suspension Tips & Tails - Base: P-Tex 2100

A ski for the rad woman who is adventurous and multi-faceted, desiring a powerfully light, maneuverable ski that will adapt to every condition. The newest ski in the Blaze lineup, the Blaze 86 W expands on what the other models are known for: lightness, ease, and agility. Leaving the damping element of titanal out of the construction not only makes for a slightly more lively ride, it also saves weight and eliminates the need for plastic inserts (a small, but positive environmental step forward). The Blaze 86 W is designed for fast, shorter turns, but the three different radii that the sidecut supports can handle the most ambitious terrain and demands. The shock-absorbing Suspension Tip and Tail are not only durable, but also provide great lift, protecting and assisting the ski off-piste. For the backcountry skier who is happy to withstand 100g extra weight for a significantly improved skiing experience, the Blaze 86 W is a real ski touring contender. Built with a light, capable, continuous tip-to-tail woodcore, uphill travel is totally doable, and downhill terrain is still completely rippable. An extremely versatile setup, the combination of all this technology makes the Blaze 86 W an intuitive ride that revolves around playfulness. - 3D Radius Sidecut - Full Sidewall - Suspension Tips & Tails - Base: P-Tex 2100

Purpose built to push the next generation of freeriders forward, the new Blackops 92 is a weapon of one for progressive minded all-mountain skiers.

A lightweight paulownia wood core keeps the ski reactive and agile whether airing it out in the park or slashing through virgin powder fields. - Weight: 2.7-2.9-3.1-3.2-3.4 - Sidecuts dimensions: 122-92-112 - Tip dimensions: 122-122-122-122-122 - Waist dimensions: 90-90-91-92-92 - Tail dimensions: 112-112-112-112-112 - Profile-Rocker: PROGRESSIVE ROCKER - Radius: 9-11-14-16-20 - Profile-Sidecuts: PROGRESSIVE SIDECUT - Profile-Construction: RECTANGULAR FULL SIDEWALL - Material-Core: PAULOWNIA WOOD CORE - Material-Other: MINICAP, 3D TOPSHEET - Bindings-System: System - Segment: GA03 Youth Technologies: PROGRESSIVE ROCKER - Designed for the deepest powder days, our most progressive rocker/camber profile delivers an award-winning balance of confident versatility and effortless float. The blend of longer, lower tip rocker, tapered tail profile, and traditional camber underfoot allows easy steering, instant speed control, and the power, energy, and grip to get you back to the lift. RECTANGULAR SIDEWALL - RECTANGULAR SIDEWALL constructions feature a horizontal layering of core materials (wood, fiberglass, metal, etc.) combined with full-length vertical sidewalls to deliver optimized edge grip, precision, balance, and power. PROGRESSIVE SIDECUT - An all-new shape for modern all-mountain skiing, our PROGRESSIVE SIDECUT profile delivers confident grip while unleashing more playfulness and fluidity to drift, smear, and carve through any terrain or snow conditions. The rounder tip and tail profiles offer instant engagement while release turns with ease for playful manipulation of changing snow and terrain.

A new era in freeriding is born with state-of-the-art technology for the ultimate ride in four lengths, each with a 94mm waist The introduction of the Mantra marked the beginning of Völkl's powerful freeriding ski line—for those who want to ride free without any restrictions but with the full control of a sporty all-mountain design. The new Blaze series now adds yet another dimension to the idea for intuitive freeriders who appreciate a playful ride coupled with agile and sporty maneuverability. The Blaze 94 weighs only 1,546g @ 179cm and is a highly versatile ski for outstanding performance in almost any condition. A 0.3mm thick Titanal binding platform provides direct power transfer and a fast pressure build-up from one edge to another. You will particularly benefit from the ski's faster and more direct reaction in narrow and rough terrain, all with less effort. The Blaze has been primarily designed for short, fast turns but the three different radii together with the tip-to-tail hybrid multilayer wood core adapt to any riding style, however ambitious. A further notable feature is the suspension tip. The elasticated, rubbery material on the tip and tail acts as a bumper in wind-blown or tracked conditions. It also improves resistance to disruption and provides fantastic flotation. Thanks to its light weight, the Blaze skis are also used as freeride touring skis. To this end, Völkl also offers Smart Glue skins that are tailor-made for each Blaze model. - 3D Radius Sidecut - Full Sidewall - Titanal Binding Platform - Suspension Tips & Tails - Base: P-Tex 2100

A ski for the rad woman who revels in agile, responsive turns all across the mountain, and might want to tackle an uphill touring effort followed by a technical backcountry descent. The Blaze 94 W is what we like to call "sporty". It delivers on many levels, but it is made for the high-octane delight of a skier that loves to turn on a dime, in every type of terrain. The 0.3mm thick layer of Titanal across the binding platform creates an impressively direct power transfer from skier movement to ski action. Keeping the Titanal only under the foot creates an incredibly fun and responsive turning experience that begins with little effort immediately upon initiation. Although it is designed with short turn radius goals, the 3D Radius Sidecut and Hybrid Multilayer Woodcore significantly enhances the ski's liveliness and maneuverability for any turn shape. At only 1427g (@ 165cm length) and with the addition of the Suspension Tip and Tail (a rubbery "bumper" for whatever the ski comes in contact with), it is a fantastic touring ski as well. Regardless of resort skiing glory, off-piste endeavors, or backcountry objectives, the Blaze 94 offers an incredibly wide range of use in all conditions. - 3D Radius Sidecut - Full Sidewall - Titanal Binding Platform - Suspension Tips & Tails - Base: P-Tex 2100

One-Liner: Because not every day is a powder day. When soft snow is in short supply, turn to the K2 Mindbender 89Ti men's freeride ski. Although it's built with the same Titanal Y-Beam construction and All-Terrain Rocker profile as its other metal-reinforced Mindbender siblings, the 89Ti stands apart thanks to a narrower waist width. Its All-Terrain Rocker profile knows no bounds and keeps you nimble enough to navigate bumps, trees, and the occasional chop. The result is a ski that has the precise edge hold you need to dominate the hardpack but is still wide enough for forays into the ungroomed. - Dimensions: 130 - 89 - 114 - Rocker: All-Terrain Rocker - Edge Bevel: 1.5 x 2.0 - Drill Spec: 4.1 x 9.5 - Core: Aspen Veneer - Tech Features: Ti Y-Beam ALL-TERRAIN ROCKER™: all terrain rocker Skis with All-Terrain rocker have a gradual rise to the tip for great versatility in all conditions, with a short, low rise in the tail for added control variable snow. TITANAL Y-BEAM: Titanal has long been used in high-end skis and is known for providing a damp, stable ride at high speeds and on variable terrain, but our Y-Beam technology takes things a step further with dramatically enhanced performance tuning. Y-shaped prongs set over the edges in the shovel of the ski provide precise, powerful turn initiation, while the narrower metal shape in the tail of the ski provides the support you need for charging while still remaining maneuverable, forgiving, and easy to break free from turns. You can find Titanal Y-Beam technology on our Mindbender 108Ti, Mindbender 99Ti, Mindbender 89Ti, Mindbender 99Ti W, and Mindbender 89Ti W skis. ASPEN CORE: Lightweight and resilient, great all-around material.

One-Liner: Women's-specific hardpack performance with a freeride twist. In typical Mindbender fashion, the women's 89Ti freeride ski has a classic construction with a powerful twist. Strapped with our Titanal Y-Beam technology the 89Ti are equipped for a consistent turn entry and enhanced power transfer. The 89Ti's are optimized for hardpack performance with confidence-inspiring stability and a high-speed edge hold, while the All-Terrain Rocker profile still gives you the freedom to explore off the beaten path. The Mindbender 89Ti W is the perfect companion for when you're in the mood to rip but soft snow isn't on the menu. - Dimensions: 130 - 89 - 114 - Rocker: All-Terrain Rocker - Edge Bevel: 1.5 x 2.0 - Drill Spec: 4.1 x 9.5 - Core: Aspen Veneer - Tech Features: Ti Y-Beam ALL-TERRAIN ROCKER™: Skis with an All-Terrain rocker have a gradual rise to the tip for great versatility in all conditions, with a short, low rise in the tail for added control variable snow.

Whatever your style of descent – piste or terrain – the Kendo can do it. This is an all-mountain freerider with a state-of-the-art build that can be used for so many different things by experienced skiers who relish powerful turns on any terrain and on any piste. Like the new Mantra and Kenja, the Kendo 88 comes with revised geometry and a one-meter shorter center radius in its 3D Radius Sidecut. The key is that the three different radii combined in one ski make for enormously versatile cornering. The new 16 m radius in the middle further increases its radius variability. Thrills await if you love tight turns cut fully on the edge. This ski encourages a sporty, intuitive style on groomed slopes, but also provides the manoeuvrability you need to get through challenging terrain. Less force is required too, thanks to a shorter centre radius. This season, the Kendo 88 also features Tailored Carbon Tips and a Tailored Titanal Frame. So if it wasn't clear already, there can now be no doubt that fun is the Kendo's middle name. Tailored Technologies – exclusively from Völkl The Tailored Titanal Frame, which features in the Mantra, Secret, Kendo and Kenja, is an evolution of our familiar Titanal Frame. In this design, the width of the Titanal upper belt can be adapted to the length of the ski; the resulting torsional stiffness and the desired damping behaviour can be adapted to the skier. The Titanal content is reduced in shorter skis, which means shorter and lighter skiers can get the most out of their skis without excessive effort. The new Tailored Carbon Tips make the Kendo 88 extremely versatile. Carbon fibres applied by means of Tailored Fibre Placement (TFP) allow our engineers to influence curve behaviour with great accuracy. The strength and alignment of the fibres define the force you need to apply and the energy that builds up where it's needed. Agile shovel reaction is a feature of special note. This means that as soon as you initiate a turn, you can steer the ski in a measured, easy manner. In other words, simply think about changing direction – and it happens. This construction also allows means less weight without any loss of stability. Also included in the new Kendo 88 with tip and tail rocker is our renowned multilayer wood core surrounded by a full sidewall and a P-Tex 2100 base. SPECIFICATIONS: - ROCKER: Tip & Tail Rocker - CORE: Multilayer Woodcore - BASE: P-Tex 2100 - RECOMMENDED BINDING: Marker Jester 90, Griffon 90 - SKIING LEVEL: Advanced, Professional

The Kenja 88 shines with an impressive carving performance due to the three different radii in the sidecut. This special geometry is 100% adjusted to the tip & tail rocker construction. Depending on the rider's speed or edge angle, the effective edge becomes longer or shorter and the matching sidecut radius provides hold, maneuverability, and smooth operation. On top, the Kenja 88 is built with a Titanal Frame and Carbon Tips, providing more stability and dampening. At the same time, the middle section of the ski becomes stronger and allows a softer setup. As a result, the ski becomes extremely lively and stable even at the highest speeds. A Multilayer woodcore framed by full sidewalls and a P-Tex 2100 base underneath rounds out the premium construction, perfectly adjusted to speed-loving female freeriders. Titanal Frame - More damping and stability over the full length of the ski. 3 Radius Sidecut - Three radii in one ski for maximum turning & speed versatility in all-mountain skiing. Full Sidewall - Direct and strong power transmission with full-length sidewalls. Multilayer Woodcore - The combination of beech and poplar results in an extremely durable wood core composed of hardwood in the binding area and lighter wood around. - Rocker: Tip & Tail Rocker - Core: Multilayer Woodcore, Poplar/Beech - Base: P-Tex 2100 - Skiing Level: Intermediate, Advanced, Professional

A ski for the rad woman who loves to ski everything on the mountain with speed and precision. When it comes to the buffet of skiing, if you are a glutton that cannot decide between groomers or powder, bumps or trees, the Kenja 88 is the plate (ski) that can handle your hearty appetite. The impressive carving performance comes from the three different radii in the sidecut, aka: the 3D Radius Sidecut design. Depending on speed and edge angle, the snow connects with a different part of the ski, supporting that specific turn, managing the terrain and forces smoothly. The tip and tail rocker make any turn shape initiation more fluid, plus provide clearance when the slope becomes deep with powder (yay!) or full of crud (yay?). The Kenja 88 is also built with a Titanal frame and carbon tips that give stability without losing playfulness. The result of all of this is a ski that holds beautifully at high speeds while still remaining extremely lively. If you've got Kenja 88s on your feet, it's time to unbuckle your belt and dig into all the mountains can offer.
