Völkl Katana (Page 2)
Strengths:
More allround than you are entitled to expect.
Superb stable puderskida.
Lightweight also works when you get into the hump !!
Weaknesses:
The quality ended after 17 days in Canada and Sweden, the matrial
delaminated, swelled on the edges of the skis.
The ice grip is no more than it still feels fairly stable.
Summary:
Qualitatively the best ski hit-hes not hesitate to choose the 2011 model as next season's rockers.
Model year: 2011
Riding style: piste powder

Strengths:
Good in light cushions. Stabila in the piste
Weaknesses:
Heavy.
Summary:
A good ski if you want to be all-round but it requires its skier if you come in old tracks or more wind-packed snow. Be careful with the length because it is quite stiff. Had been down to 180 cm long after driving it for 20 days in both the Nordic countries, the Alps and Canada.

Strengths:
Surprisingly allround. Best ski I went on.
Weaknesses:
Quality.
Summary:
Incredibly good skiing in every way. The only thing is that the quality is untrue, the rest has Völkl succeeded perfectly with. My skis have to be discarded after just over half a season. The coat has been released throughout the foot and the core has been broken in two places where the steel edge has also been released. Unbelievable pity that Völkl can not make skis for its purpose, since it is the best ski I ever went on !!

Strengths:
Sick good allround ski! Wonderful lightweight and stable in pillows and worn offpist At the same time, great time to carve piste at high speed. Awesome speed table and at the same time lightweight, light-skinned and with a lovely feel.
Weaknesses:
No real weaknesses apart from the ice grip, of course, are better on narrower slopes.
Summary:
Tried on the ski trip weekend in Trysil 2010 and felt that I just had to have a couple! Rid 10 days in Austria with my Katana in the piste, offpist and pillows and as allround skiing I can not imagine any better ... My new best friends ...

Strengths:
At last you had to try the new layer. 197 cm Katana with Duke binding.
13 ski days in Cham with mostly off-piste skiing.
In OP, of course, it does not disappoint. Good flow in the loin (30cm) o Surprisingly simple to get around in woods despite the length. Had no problem in wind-packed snow.
Much better than expected in the piste. Have driven the gotama pastor o katanan is much stiffer o can handle harder than G. The piste was under v hard to soft but not oily. Easy to get rid of and go like the train. Only the legs that set the limits.
Made 2-day randotures, about 2h time, went well despite the size.
Weaknesses:
The stony glacier snow was no elevation. Likewise, Puckel, but still, Gdk. In the heaviest team to take on multi-day rallies but work on day trips.
You are worried that the fishtail will break when you wear them.
Summary:
A ski that keeps in all directions. Oh next, see if I'm as positive after that trip!
Model year: 2009
Riding style: Off-piste
Riders weight: 90 kg

Strengths:
Very good allround ski that works for everything!
The ski was tested in Sälen by all places and worked well beyond expectations.
The piste went easy and easy to drive, cutting shortwings and great slopes were fixed without any problems. I did not experience any "wide-scale shackles" anyway in the piste. (it should be added that it was not very hard on the slopes during the test, Ski Open, Lindvallen). I experienced the skid as very fast from edge to edge despite the width! I also think the ski is extremely easy-going, it feels like my wife would fix the ski without any problems. (183th had been even more perfect for her)
The ski was also tested in the "outside piste" (I WOULD call it offpist in the Sälen!) With a very nice response, it was possible to drive quickly over the road and that when found "a little untouched" the skid fled and behaved in a very pleasant way.
Weaknesses:
The quality! What a damn joke!
My skis will be advertised immediately after 2 days in Sälen, as the skis show up so different range so it's quite ridiculous! One skid is flat (as it should be ..) while the other shows a rocker of about 20mm.
Now imagine that the skis are tested in Sälen! And, as I said, it is not invited to such hard hikes ...
In addition, Völkl's Sales Manager (Combisport) showed such a non-chilling and unpleasant behavior when I pointed out this problem to him in their test tents to be amazed. "There's nothing wrong with the ski, it's you who bent it when you went .." "Völkl only makes quality skiing without a problem." "I've never seen this problem before" ect.
Ok, then we know what Völkl thinks: Katanan is super quality and I've ruined my ski myself .....
I rather consider that Völkl Katana is so poorly built that it does not even last 2 days in Sälen without problems.
(If anyone is interested, there are some threads here at Freeride where Katanan quality is discussed ....)
No, SKÄRPNING Völkl, if you want to sell Katana, it is important to raise the QUALITY REJÄLT on the product.
Summary:
Very good skiing but wait for purchase until Völkl has solved Katanan's quality problems!
The ski gets 5 in grades for the archipelago properties, 1 in grades for the quality
Model year: 2009
Riding style: Everything but park

Strengths:
The combination! The combination of flowing very well in the sneeze, to be hard and powerful in the nest and at the same time playful and witty in the piste. I drive telemark on the skis and easily get the skid on the big slalom in the piste, good ice grip. In cushions the ski is very nice, flowing, reliable, turns both big and short without problems. Good flow in heavy and soaked lice. Cut through and keep control most of the junk, but Kneissl's Thoughts I drove on earlier were somewhat stiffer and stronger in these conditions. Otherwise, Katanan will hit the tank on all levels.
Weaknesses:
The rocker does occasionally so the front is experienced fluttery. Also flares something on a flat shipment, would rather be cut.
The plastic part of the powder channel sprained almost directly between the top plastic layers, on both skis, looks like nail nail sponge. To be submitted as a guarantee case.
Summary:
Cruel skiing! So close to a single ski (having fun everywhere) I think I can find today. Already a favorite. Running 16 days on the ski run, out of 30 this season.
Model year: 2008
Riding style: Telemark, big turns at high speed, offpiste / backcountry about 80%, rest piste.
Length on the ski: 176 cm
Riders weight: 63 kg
Riders length: 177 cm

Strengths:
Going like the train. I compare in particular with my old Gotama 05/06 190 and Katanan beats Gotaman on almost every point. Good bearing in loose nose. Despite the length, it is relatively easy to turn around in tight woods, even if you are a strong skier. The piste properties surprised positively. As long as it's not too hard, Caran Katanan's long beautiful super g-turns down most of the slopes. Would probably say it's better in the piste than the old Gotaman is.
Weaknesses:
Being quite unstable in a really hard piste
Summary:
Is possibly the best all-round offensive side right now. Together with Marker Duke you get a really difficult combination.
Model year: 2008
Riding style: In particular, cushions will be a little piss when the weather does not allow backcountry
Length on the ski: 197 cm
Riders weight: 90 kg
Riders length: 192 cm
