Ski Volkl Peregrine 78 + Lowride 11 TCX - 2025/26

Völkl Peregrine 78 Skis: Agility and Control on Groomed Slopes

The Völkl Peregrine 78 are skis designed for intermediate to advanced skiers who seek performance and easy control, especially on groomed slopes. With a 78 mm waist, this model offers smooth handling and precise turns, while providing stability and confidence. It is a versatile ski, offering plenty of fun and is excellent for advancing your technique on firm snow.

Key Features and Technologies:

• Intended Use: All-mountain, with a strong emphasis on groomed slopes. Ideal for skiers who prefer a moderate pace but seek performance.
• Tailored Carbon Tips: An innovative process where individual carbon fibers are precisely stitched into the ski tips. This optimizes torsional stiffness and rigidity, leading to increased agility and direct response at the start of a turn. The tips require less effort and build up energy quickly.
• Full Sidewall: Full-length sidewalls ensure direct and efficient power transmission, resulting in maximum edge grip and precision, especially on hard snow.
• Steel Band: Unlike the wider Peregrine models, the Peregrine 78 utilizes a steel band instead of Titanal. This provides a slightly softer flex while still ensuring the smooth and stable feel known from Völkl skis.
• 3D Radius Sidecut: An innovative geometry offering three turn radii in one ski. Longer radii in the tip and tail facilitate stability at high speeds and in long arcs, while a shorter radius underfoot allows for quick and precise short turns. This makes the skis versatile and maneuverable.
• Plate/Bindings: Lowride 11 TCX: The skis are often sold with the integrated Marker Lowride 11 TCX binding system. This system features a low stand height (enhancing feel and power transfer) and a TCX heel unit for easier entry and exit.
• Base: P-Tex 2100: A durable sintered high-density polyethylene base, providing good gliding characteristics and wax absorption.
• Base Structure: Zebra structure: A very pronounced and deep base structure, ensuring the best possible precision and control, especially for on-piste skis.
• Multilayer Woodcore: A core made from a combination of beech and poplar. Stable hardwood layers on the sides provide excellent power transmission and edge grip, while lighter wood in the center increases agility and reduces overall ski weight. This is a significant change from previous foam-core models, leading to greater sportiness and stability at higher speeds.
• 3D.Glass: Three-dimensional fiberglass layers in the ski's tip and tail enhance edge grip and provide a more vivid rebound in turns.
• Tip & Tail Rocker: A slight rise in the ski's tip and tail facilitates turn initiation and smooth edge-to-edge transitions, also helping in softer snow.
