Völkl Racetiger GS Master + Comp 16 GW 26/27
Description
If you are looking for the feel of a World Cup racer, pure precision, power and reliability in every single turn, the Racetiger GS MASTER will make your dreams come true!
With a World Cup ash wood core, phenolic sidewalls, layered carbon tips, two full layers of titanal and a carbon band, it stands for a superb combination of sportiness, dynamics and smoothness, and features the best materials and technologies ski building currently has to offer.
One highlight is the combined use of phenolic sidewalls and a carbon band in a highly complex construction. The phenolic sidewalls give the ski unrivalled smoothness and edge precision. The carbon band running from tip to tail in the middle of the ski works the other way and makes the ski livelier and more dynamic. This combination of materials means that complete composure and maximum dynamics are no longer a contradiction.
In addition to the carbon band, this ski of course also has our Tailored Carbon Tips. The position and length of the carbon fibres in the tip give the ski an even more direct tip response and faster flex and energy build-up in the front part of the ski.
This lets the World Cup ash wood core play to its strengths as an energy store and dynamics booster even more. When the ski flexes at the start of the turn, the fibres stretch, absorb the tension energy and store it. At the end of the turn, this stored energy is released in a controlled way and gives the ski enormous dynamics.
This very sporty character is made accessible to skiers who aren't World Cup racers by a regular sidecut with a radius of 17.5 m at a ski length of 178 cm.
Perfectly rounded off with 3D Glass, two full layers of titanal and our updated Marker Worldcup Interface 10mm plate, this ski will make a World Cup racer's dreams come true.

SKI PROFILE
TIP ROCKER
Character: only the tip is turned up, while the middle and tail of the ski have camber.
CORE
WORLDCUP ASH WOODCORE
A technical highlight with a big impact on how the ski rides is the high-quality solid ash core running the full length of the ski. This particularly elastic hardwood is used in our race skis for World Cup athletes and even in the Master models, and it acts as an energy store: as the ski flexes at the start of the turn, the fibres stretch, absorb the tension energy and store it. At the end of the turn this stored energy is released in a controlled way, giving the ski enormous dynamics. Thanks to the specific stretch behaviour of ash, the ski also adapts perfectly to the snow. The result is maximum stability and reliability and a particularly smooth ride.
GLASS / CARBON
CARBON BAND
The carbon construction offers the optimal combination of low weight, best durability and very sporty ride characteristics.
3D.GLASS
Compared with classic fibreglass constructions, the three-dimensional, multiply folded fibreglass layers in the tip and tail give more edge grip and a livelier rebound in turns.
3D fibreglass integrated into the tip and tail of the ski
‣ Flat fibreglass under the binding, which makes the middle softer. Variable turning behaviour at any speed.
Fibreglass above the sidewall:
‣ Gives extra support for outstanding edge grip on icy slopes.
Vertical fibreglass in tip & tail:
‣ More pop for faster edge-to-edge transitions.
TIP & TAIL TECHNOLOGY
TAILORED CARBON TIPS
For the new Tailored Carbon Tips, an innovative manufacturing process embroiders the individual carbon fibres onto a backing material. This lets them be positioned exactly along the lines of force, which opens up completely new possibilities, especially at the tip, because the tip has a decisive influence on how the ski rides. Fibre thickness and millimetre-precise alignment let stiffness, torsion and therefore the ride characteristics be tuned precisely. The fibres channel the dynamics to the parts of the ski where they are needed. The visibly integrated Tailored Carbon Tips are light, allow agile tip engagement with less effort and build up energy quickly. This takes the tailored carbon tips to a new level of precision, direct tip response and active riding fun.
METAL
FULL TITANAL
Titanal in the ski construction makes the ski lively and dynamic. Skiers who like a hard, fast and aggressive style benefit most from the quick response of this construction.
SIDEWALL
FULL SIDEWALL PHENOL
The special surface structure combined with the material composition reduces icing because the snow simply slides off. This drastically reduces the weight in use, by up to 20 to 30% on average. The lighter skis make long and steep climbs in particular easier.
BASE MATERIAL
BASE P-TEX 4504
Sintered, ultra-high-molecular polyethylene base with extremely high density. P-Tex 4504 is not only particularly wear-resistant but also absorbs wax best and is extremely fast. At Völkl this base is used exclusively on our top models and race skis. The material composition has been refined with special additives. This creates thermal and electrical conductivity that consistently achieves top values for glide and speed.
PLATE TECHNOLOGY
MARKER WORLDCUP PLATE
The interface of the pro riders. Thanks to the integrated Piston Control oil damper, even the smallest amount of energy is turned into speed. The interface is of course also compatible with Marker Comp bindings.
TOP SHEET
FULLY STRUCTURED
From tip to tail, Fully Structured bases feature a continuous, high-traction pattern that amplifies speed, edge grip, and control. Designed for skiers who demand all-condition versatility with race-inspired responsiveness.
