Völkl 100 Eight W (2019)

The free ride of today has an increasing element of Ski Touring: boots with walking mode and tech inserts, Kingpin bindings and riser skins. Völkl`s focus on ski development is thus an obvious weight and a broader area of use. The Germans have solved this by "copying" Katana V-Werks extremely thin side edges to get rid of unnecessary mass in the front and back (3D.Ridge) - this gives better stability and a much lower swing weight that gives the word versatility a new meaning. To keep the price down compared to Katana V-Werks, 100Eight fiberglass and carbon fiber laminates have been mixed. The profile is a low full-rocker with a slightly beveled side-cut at the front and back (Easy Tapered Shape), which makes the ski even easier to skid in difficult terrain than older constructions. Despite this, the 100Eight is very accurate to ride on slopes with. One of the most effective all-round designs on the market, whether you choose a traditional Marker binding such as Jester / Griffon or want a touring binding such as Kingpin / F12 EPF. "W" in addition is only a girl-appropriate color. The same ski otherwise.
