Skis Volkl Racetiger GS R JR - 2025/26

Völkl Racetiger GS R JR Skis: Long Gate, Full Control for Young Giant Slalom Skiers

The Völkl Racetiger GS R JR is a ski designed for young, promising Giant Slalom athletes who want to develop their skills on long, fast courses. This model combines advanced technologies from Völkl's top series with a construction tailored to junior needs. It provides precision, stability, and smooth handling in long arcs, which are crucial in Giant Slalom skiing. Thanks to the varied core construction and plate length depending on the ski length, every young person will find a perfect fit, and progressively increasing turn radii support technical development.

Key Features and Technologies:

• Plate: JR Race: A specially designed junior race plate, optimizing power transfer from the boot to the ski, ensuring stability and precision in long turns. Depending on the ski length, JR Plate S or JR Plate L plates are used for an ideal fit.
• Full Sidewall ABS: Full ABS sidewalls provide direct and efficient power transfer to the ski's edge. This guarantees excellent edge hold, crucial in fast and stable Giant Slalom turns.
• Full Titanal: A full Titanal layer within the ski's construction. This provides increased stability, excellent vibration dampening, and powerful dynamism, which is essential for maintaining control during aggressive Giant Slalom skiing.
• Grown Layup: A layered construction adapted to the specific needs of juniors, which optimizes flex and torsional stiffness according to ski length, supporting the progression of young skiers on Giant Slalom courses.
• Base: P-Tex 4504 / Zebra structure: High-quality sintered P-Tex 4504 base provides excellent gliding properties and wax absorption. Additionally, the Zebra structure optimizes glide in various snow conditions, minimizing friction and increasing speed.

Core:

• Multilayer Woodcore: Provides the ski with optimal spring, stability, and vibration dampening. The core composition varies depending on length to adapt the ski's characteristics to a junior's capabilities:
  • Beech / Poplar 50 / 50 (for 130 cm - 151 cm): A 50/50 blend of beech and poplar wood, providing flexibility and spring for smaller lengths, which facilitates learning and control.
  • Beech Poplar 66/33 (for 158 cm - 170 cm): A higher beech content provides more power and stability in longer skis, supporting faster development and more aggressive skiing in Giant Slalom radii.
