Völkl Racetiger GS R Skis: Giant Slalom Power and Precision on the Slopes

The Völkl Racetiger GS R skis are designed for experienced and very advanced skiers who seek maximum performance on groomed slopes. Drawing heavily from technologies used in World Cup models, the Racetiger GS R offers unparalleled stability, powerful energy transfer, and precise handling in long, fast arcs. It's an ideal choice for those who want to experience the speed and control of Giant Slalom skis without needing to meet strict FIS regulations.

Key Features and Technologies:

• Plate: WC Plate: A professional World Cup plate that increases the ski's torsional stiffness underfoot, improves power transfer, and provides maximum control, crucial for GS-oriented skis.
• Tailored Carbon Tip: This technology allows for precise placement of carbon fibers in the ski's tip, resulting in millimeter-precise adjustment of stiffness and torsion. This ensures quick and precise turn initiation and efficient power transmission.
• Full Sidewall ABS: Full ABS sidewalls provide direct and efficient power transfer to the ski's edge. This guarantees excellent edge hold and maximum steering precision, essential for long arcs at high speeds.
• Full Titanal: Complete reinforcement of the ski with Titanal layers. This provides uncompromising stability, excellent vibration dampening, and powerful dynamism, which is crucial for maintaining control on hard snow and at high speeds.
• Race Finish GS 1.1° / 87.6°: The skis are factory-finished to the highest race standards. Edges are sharpened at a 1.1° base bevel and 87.6° side bevel, ensuring optimal sharpness and base glide for maximum speed and precision in every turn.
• Base: P-Tex 4504 / Zebra structure: High-grade 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 (Beech / Poplar 73/27): The ski's core is made from a blend of Beech and Poplar wood in a 73% to 27% ratio. Beech provides density and power, while Poplar offers lightness and flexibility, creating a core with exceptional dynamism, stability, and longevity, ideal for aggressive skiing.
