Völkl Freeski – nine decades of experience speak for themselves
Since 1923, Völkl have been manufacturing skis in Straubing . In the ski manufacturing industry, Völkls V-Werks sets a benchmark with their low weight and high performance designs. Their aim is to use their technology to produce the best ski for every genre of the sport. Now, Völkl's skis are better than ever to ride, with more flexibility that requires less effort. The result is better overall performance and faster response. At Völkl , the rocker-shape is not only a trend but a new milestone in ski design that has marked the future of the two boards. The freestyle ski and freeride ski ranges offer three different rocker variations:
- Full Rocker : The shape for freeskiing and touring, with a constant, gradual bend along the entire length of the ski. The short minimum edge length under the binding counteracts the unwanted inertia of a wider ski. Gotama , Shiro and Katana all feature full rocker.
- Tip Rocker : The ski bends at the tip, while the middle and tail of the ski have a classic camber form. The variable edge-length of the tip means increased manoeuvrability. Among the tip rocker family are the Kink , Step and Ledge .
- Tip und Tail Rocker : The middle has a classic-style camber, while the tip and tail are both curved. This form is particularly suited to part and pipe riding.
In-house technology for your snowboarding adventures
