Drive telisar, mounted on the line. The world's best skiing. Always works every day and in all weather. Immortal construction that stops everything from slick and unintentional roughness to the ground, unfortunately, it is not impossible to bend these skis. If you see a pair for sale, buy them without thinking. This is skiing and fun at the highest level!

Summary:
The absolute best ski I went on. But that does not mean it fits all skiers!

Now you have tested Explosive ...
Ridden two days hard at the limit of Kallföre with a pair of 173 cm Explosive with a pair of 7tm (new model) mounted after marking. 178 cm tall and weighs 90 boilers and goes aggressively. Other skis that I spent a lot on this year PowAir and G4.

Because it was finely tuned (natural night and pretty hard in the morning) and people were told they showed where they went for the piste and in short pistons they are cash, but you might think that ... But as many have realized then it's a couple of monsters if you dare and can stand. For my part, the border was at the red back, where I could be cut without problems, but in Skimastern I did not really get it in the cut all the time. It may be because the speed when this happens is very high and my self-preservation (cowardice) Perhaps this prevented ;-)

I then drove a little offpist in mixed before, raised and loose (15-30 cm loose). And here is the amazingly stable ...

Because I bought a short length it's no problem to get around the ski in really steep slopes where you have to drive a jumpwind, this could be a problem if you drive long skis! On Uffes's wall they went as well as I could burn at a pace I had never dared before :-).

Then it was a joke for Nordals, to go skiing with these skis and a couple of short pegs on the plate are an otyg, but you can take it! Once upon a while we found a nice slope 25 degrees with a 15 cm loose nose and it's great to just burn in big telescopes. The flood is awesome in these skis. When you're in a snowmobile, it's a good thing to do with short-wings (but not the special ones that someone else thought) and if it's snowy or heavier snow it's just to load, no fuss to flutter.

I have previously noticed that I have to kick up the board on the forehead to get it out of the snow (in difficult conditions combined with the Norwegian competition style where you break up the front so the ski forms an arch out of the snow) this is not necessary at all on these skis so I can go with a better weight distribution on the skis and become a better skier simply.

Now, I have not tested it in a bad and heavy spring snow, but it feels like a snap more robust than the G4, so it's going to be exciting, returning after the majors of info. Hmm, my studs look damn thin on these skis.

The rating applies together as telisskida. In snowy snow and snowy snow a clear 5th, but in piste it's a bit too little cut for it to work for me, where the G4 fits better. But it's fun funny if it's quite crowded in the slopes and you can burn on :-)

Another flair with the Explosive when compared to the G4 orts is that it's a good surface layer and no rubber jaws like it has been the last few years but new 24/7 or what they called looked better ...

It's fun and have a couple of skis that you do not really master, that you have to get better and drive even harder to unleash the full potential of these skis!

Oh what fun these would be like a couple of ski slopes ...

Difficult, o make these layers actually wrap, huge bite despite their width. Canon even in forests, where they actually are right wiggle. Beautiful in deep snow although they could have been slightly softer or a little longer (run 190cm)
Top purchase for seasons outside the north (drove a little in Hemsedal, not really adapted for Nordic conditions) Most people do not break too hard puckles and so on.

like steam in the piste. but it requires roughly wide slopes, with no abnormal slope - otherwise you have to go by cable (and we do not want it).

In the offpiste they are terribly good. The disadvantage that the flowability is impaired by stiffness is eliminated by the incredible stability. flutter? forget it! (as opposed to pocket rocket or scratch bc ...) the hardness also gives good response in landing after dropping.

however, I would buy these skis if I had not made a season outside Sweden's borders (and this season now halved is a completely different story ...). At home, the G4 is very good, and is a great, better complement in the piste. if you do not have more pairs of skis now say.

Agree with the other recessions. It's incredibly stable yet surprisingly easy to get around in the turns. Have driven my 7 ski days in Hemsedal on varying surfaces from piste to pillows. If you want to carve in the slopes there are better options, but for what it is intended for, it's superb. Affordable, yes, the 01-02 model got a good price.

Völkl V-Explosive 190 - like coming home.

So now I've finally tested Völkl's volunteer flagship;
V Explosive. Unfortunately, it was basically only pistol skiing that was offered,
but to me it is a pist as a ski's character is revealed. How
The explosives stand in bottomless pads getting relatively softer
Competitors can you wait to find out; or ask someone
another if.

To understand my review, some background facts are needed. One of
my horsehorses are that I think what kind of ski you like
Most of all depends on what you are used to and what
Type of feedback you want the ski to give. How fast you drive,
how good you are and what you weigh and so on matters, but
I think maybe less important than just the skier's ski model
history.

In my case I have been running racing teams for a long time. Often in addition
real racing teams, not regular shop skis. I like it
In other words, skis with a good cut and a good grip. I like
Skis that are subdued and stable and also provide accurate information
about what happens under the ski. I like skiing you have to take in
to drive on. I just like racing feeling.

In the case of a little wider skiing, I have for a couple of seasons
driven on Völkl G4 / G41 198. When I first tried it I was
impressed by how it, despite its width, had a good grip and a good one
notch. I like this skiing very much like allround skiing, though
is still a part of my GS / SG team in the WC class. I
need a dose absolutely cut occasionally. Although G4an gives a good
cut it's a bit missing and I've dreamed of a little
cosmopolitanly sprinkled G4.

Designally, V-Explosive is very appealing to me.
True side edges, torsion box, two layers of metal, stable wood core
and so on. All customers can be retrieved directly from one of Völkls
Super G-ski. The sidebar radius is also the closest to
Super G-class. Everything in the skis construction, except of course
above the top, exercised a clear appeal on an old supporter
of German quality skiing in racing class. So it was not without
a little pussy in my stomach I faced my first test drive.

Driving on Völkl V-Explosive is for me like coming home. It is
hard to describe how much racing there are in these bests. G4
usually described as a skis with good cut, maybe even
market leader, but compared to Explosive, the G4 are as
plastic toys. However, at the very least, getting the explosive to wake up
(on hard surfaces) get it fast. Really fast. Conversely have to
On the other hand, no skiing I tried invited to drop on
same as explosive, not even long stable racing teams.
The explosives also do not fall into the snow like skis and more
cutting and therefore, they are actually also faster than much else.
Because the cut does not directly invite to any fast
directional changes and because the edge grip is such that in
full speed has hard to understand how to skule could get the ski to
worn out should be planned to avoid weeping for people and animals. Fact
is that if you do not have a relatively popular backdrop available, it is
difficult to drive fast enough on the explosive. To me this is
the only restriction I noticed and what makes the explosive
Maybe should be accompanied by something more playful. Without sufficient
steep, tall and crowded, it's not going to be fun. Before the move
is high, the ski can not be missed, but the high is there
just squeezes it a bit.

It's also easy to realize that not everyone would like or even
clear the explosive. If you do not let go, it's easy to realize that
It may feel quite bumpy with its pronounced grip. Kantar man
Do not mess up and push it is hard to get it
to swing a lot a lot. A ski like G4an is unbelievably much
more forgiving and easy-going. The difference is great, actually, and then
not immediately considered G4an. The same week I drove
Explosive, I drove a lot of other layers, from 178cm
magnolia and twintips to 198cm long G4or. The fact is that
What the piss most reminded of the explosion in the caretaker was mine
private "run service" 203 grand slalom (99-62-86) with feta,
supertunga plates and the entire choir.

Some other observations are that the explosive feels quite heavy in
the store. However, in the back, it feels surprisingly smooth. It is
clearly more lively and easy-going in the air than my G4 198 and
really invites small air travel and shot. To land with
The explosive is also based on width, stability and lack
of pronounced cutting how easy.

Conclusion: For me, Völkl was V-Explosive in many respects just
what I want. Quick, stable and with a great cut. The
learn hardly feel completely wrong if there are some pillows either, too
Because of the stiffness of the explosion, there may be many skis
with more surf in. If you like surfing and do not want to take in when you are
turning the skid there are better options, such as Pocket
Rocket or SugarDaddy. Do not have the ability to drive
enough fast or like a little more turn in the skis is safe
a pair of G4or a better compromise.

For those who like me, I like to struggle a little with the skis and
but in return, skis that never turn away require Völkl to move
V-Explosive reach the limit for the possible even a few pinholes. For
We with these ill preferences produce V-Explosive Wider
smiles than ever before - in any case.

This ski is a ski that is perfectly, in my opinion, perfect. Has never been a skid that manages the ice-skating of a year more skillfully than this. The ice feels barely under the layer.

That it's not the world's smoothest skis does not matter to me. I love pulling long, wide turns all over the hill when the speed is constantly increasing. May probably be problematic in the woods, where I have not tested the ski yet. Solid with a little workout, it will work.

The motive I hardly care about, I'm looking for the perfect yoke, how the ski looks does not matter to me. But you can not deny that it's good. :)

V-Explosive is a right so potent ski at least, unfortunately even in literal sense sometimes. Beautiful, fat measure, Völk's unbeatable durability and a small twin-tip like onion on the salmon. German engineering at a high level, unfortunately, that was the case with German and design, but we will take it later. The skid can withstand almost unlimited speed and works really well on hard ground if you think how wide it is and the ice grip is in old good Völkl class. In real cushions, it's probably a little hard, at least in front, to give the really fluid feeling that you expect from a powder model modern. The hard top makes the ski dive a little bit when the snow is really soft, so you always have to make sure that the tips do not drill down and slow down, and you do not want to. With softer skis it does not usually make any trouble. Explosive is probably not the perfect couloir side, because it's not very fast in turns, no Lucky Luke class right away. But hey, who has said that you have to swing all the time?

A solution to the cushioning problem can be to make as one of the poster's poster name and the backing bindings one or a few cm. The lag is hardly faster, so it is advisable not to discourage if you do not get a grip on what you are doing, both on the mountain and / or with the drill in the fist.

The graphics then? Fun today. Do not learn to be as fun outside after-skin next season. Suspects that Rudi Völler's hairwash and mustache will stand better with the teeth of the time. Get the most vibes of snowboards with crazy motifs à la -95. And then, it was not expected that the tips from Rossi Cut 10.5 anno -98 would appear again.

This ski is in a class by itself, run how fast, how fast and where you want. The ski feels like a part of the body. The ice cube as said, a class for itself in this class! Buy it!
