Völkl Racetiger GS Master + Comp 16 GW 26/27

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.

The carbon construction offers the optimal combination of low weight, best durability and very sporty ride characteristics.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
