Smooth, playful ride across a variety of big mountain conditions, from deep powder to groomers, the Volkl 100Eight builds on the innovation found in the V-Werks line and combines it with the construction found in their freeride line. The result is a hybrid, cross-over that aims to win over unwavering fans of the Kendo and Mantra. Slightly stiffer than mid-flex, they’re perfect for skiers who want a responsive and stable ski with just enough flex and forgiveness to absorb vibrations or unseen ruts and moguls. Ideal for intermediate and advanced skiers. Built around a multi-layer wood core which combines two different densities of wood. In the binding area underfoot, a dense Ash wood core is used, while the rest of the ski utilises Poplar. The dense Ash underfoot give the bindings secure screw retention and stability, while the softer poplar sections create durability and pop. Volkl tailor the flex pattern for each ski model to match the desired performance characteristics. The full sidewall construction maintains fantastic edge hold throughout the turn while simultaneously helping to absorb vibration from ruts and uneven snow pack. The P-Tex 2100 sintered base uses high performance materials, ensuring maximum speed, agility and durability. Due to the high level of wax absorption, abrasion resistance and durability the base retains excellent gliding characteristics throughout the life of the ski. The 3D carbon ridge technology is one of the most advanced ski construction techniques which exists currently. The most noticeable feature of this technology is a raised central ridge which sharply tapers outward towards the edges, in front of and behind the binding. This reduces the swing weight of the core to a minimum, significantly enhancing the agility and manoeuvrability of the ski. This unique construction also allows for precise weight distribution, leading to even flex throughout the ski without compromising its durability or elasticity. Carbon stringers running the length of the core supercharge the ski’s
