The Blaze series, which was successfully launched last year, is being expanded to include a new model with four lengths and 86 mm under the boot. In addition to the proven 3D radius sidecut, the Blaze 86 is built with a full tip-to-tail wood core. This not only trims the weight and makes the ski more lively, but also eliminates the need for plastic panels ? a small but positive environmental aspect. The 86 model also comes with elasticated, rubbery suspension elements on the edges of the tip and the tail, which act like a bumper in wind-blown or unfavourable snow conditions and not only offer more resistance to disruption but also deliver great flotation. The Blaze series is generally designed for fast, short turns. However, the three different radii, especially in combination with the full hybrid multilayer wood core, are designed for every riding style and can handle even the most ambitious use. From the all-mountain skier who wants to go off-piste, to the classic freerider or touring skier who will put up with an extra 100 g of weight for significantly improved skiing performance, the Blaze 86 is a top recommendation! Thanks to its light weight, the Blaze is also used as a freeride touring ski. To this end, V?lkl also offers Smart Glue skins that have been perfectly tailored to each Blaze model.

The Blaze 94 W is what we like to call ?sporty?. It delivers on many levels, but it is made for the high octane delight of a skier that loves to turn on a dime, in every type of terrain. The 0.3mm thick layer of titanal across the binding platform creates an impressively direct power transfer from skier movement to ski action. Keeping the titanal only under the foot creates an incredibly fun and responsive turning experience, immediately from initiation, with little effort. Although it is designed with short turn radius goals, the 3D Radius Sidecut and Hybrid Multilayer Woodcore significantly enhances the ski's liveliness and maneuverability for any turn shape. At only 1427g (@ 165cm length) and with the addition of the Suspension Tip and Tail (basically a rubbery ?bumper? for whatever the ski comes in contact with), it is a fantastic touring ski as well. Regardless of resort skiing glory, off piste endeavors, or backcountry objectives, the Blaze 94 offers an incredibly wide range of use in all conditions.

The revolutionary Deacon concept is also available in this model with 75 mm under the boot. It comes with a full sidewall and mini cap along the whole ski length as well as a wood core, Powered by Steel base and GripWalk-compatible vMotion3 binding. The Deacon 75 is built for all riding situations on hard slopes. The tip and tail rocker construction allows a fast change between long and short turns or full pressure on the edge and easy carving. This ski generally offers a slightly smoother ride than the super-sporty Deacon 74 and 76.

If you don't want to compromise choosing the right slopes, if you want to be on top of your game in every snow condition, you need to take a closer look at the Deacon 80 with XTD tip & tail rocker. Built with 3D.Ridge and a 3D.Glass sheathing this ski features V?lkl's 3D radius sidecut technology to make you feel at home anywhere you ski. It lifts the carving performance of the ski into another dimension. The new LowRide XL binding with GripWalk compatibility offers an extra low standheight for a super direct feel and power transfer.

If you?re looking for the highest level of sportiness and maximum radius variability, the Deacon 72 Master is the ski for you. The brand new Deacon 72 Master with tip and tail rocker offers riders a new dimension of direct steering and super-fast tip response. With an ash wood core, usually reserved for our World Cup models, full Titanal, a 3D.Glass construction and even a tailored carbon tip, the Deacon Master series is packed with the expertise offered by V?lkl engineers. The tailored carbon tip enables direct and reliable tip response. By slightly modifying the angles and placement of the carbon fibres for each ski length, the various models can offer a highly sporty and aggressive yet effortless riding style. The Deacon 72 Master is available in lengths of 173 cm and 178 cm and features a highly competitive but at the same time playful design concept, which allows you to ski super precise through medium turns. For maximum performance, the skis also come with a pre-mounted 10 mm Marker World Cup plate.

Just when you think it can?t get any better, the V?lkl R&D team will prove you wrong ? as with the Deacon V.WERKS edition. The premium model with 84 mm under the boot and a weight of just 1,830 grams (177 cm length w/o binding) features V?lkl?s innovative tailored carbon tips and tails. Never before has it been possible to distribute power to the tip and tail in such a precise way while also offering full dynamics and impressive liveliness. The carbon fibres are no longer integrated as a uniform fleece but added through a stitching process in such way that their orientation and strength are perfectly tailored to the functional requirements of each ski section. As the most important areas of a slope ski are the tip and tail, these are the areas with the highest concentration of carbon fibres, offering a fantastic liveliness and dynamic on all pistes with minimal skier effort. The ski is built with our innovative 3D Radius sidecut technology. This makes it possible to optimally tailor the tip and tail rocker design to the three interconnecting radii for excellent smoothness and stability at the highest speeds and in demanding piste conditions. To increase the power transmission and shock absorption qualities even further, the Deacon V.WERKS comes with a 0.7mm thick Titanal frame that surrounds the most stressed tip and tail areas. This highly complex technical structure enables a brand-new combination of liveliness and speed stability. The IPT Lowride binding system is lighter than its predecessor and has been carefully integrated into the ski body for impressive power transmission. If you?re looking for a highly versatile, incredibly powerful, super light and extremely sporty all-mountain ski for smooth rides in all conditions, the Deacon V.WERKS is a must for your shortlist.

The Deacon XT with tip rocker and wood core for ambitious beginners looking to improve their carving technique offers impressively easy handling and closes the gap between the Deacon XTD and the Deacon X. Its central sidewall construction helps create a smooth ride with better edge grip. The vMotion 1 binding is naturally compatible with GripWalk soles.

The Deacon XTD with tip rocker ups the performance for intermediate and advanced skiers to conquer the mountain no matter what the conditions. Its construction features a partial center sidewall around the Dual Woodcorethat enhances edge grip and stability for front side skiing. The lightweight vMotion2 system is GripWalk compatible, and features a wide interface with the ski for better power transmission along with easy-step-in heel technology.

As a beginner skier improves, the mountain opens up, and the Flair 76 is there for that development. The partial sidewall construction creates a smooth, easily maneuverable turn, while keeping it sporty underfoot when it?s time for more dynamic skiing. As ambitions and confidence grows the 76mm waist is an optimal width for entering more intermediate and advanced runs. And the vMotion1 Binding supports a remarkable power transmission throughout the entire ski, with the option to ride a GripWalk sole on your boot in the process. The Flair 76 will only help deepen a relatively new skier?s love for the mountains, and encourage them to continue exploring.

The Flair 76 Elite provides prime performance for the intermediate and advanced skiers looking to elevate their skiing on piste. The partial sidewall construction features enhanced edge grip and stability at the center of the ski for frontside carving, and a more forgiving tip and tail for new adventures, maybe even a few off the groomers. When the snow conditions get variable the tip rocker is there to provide clearance and easier turn initiation. The lightweight vMotion2 Binding system features a wide interface with the ski creating better power transmission. Plus, the easy step-in-heel technology is GripWalk compatible, keeping your feet comfortable in and out of your skis. The Flair 76 Elite is the gateway ski to bigger things.

If you?ve recently discovered the unrivaled exhilaration of skiing, than the Flair 79 may be your ticket to freedom. The construction is a combination of ease and stability. The 3D.Ridge technology and Center Sidewall significantly reduce weight across the length of the ski, while keeping the power underfoot, where a thin layer of steel adds strength. Each turn is easily initiated, without sacrificing grip, thanks to the extended tip and tail rocker. Power transfer is prioritized by the iPT Wideride binding system; plus the GripWalk compatibility brings a new level of ski boot comfort. With all the thoughts put into it and a slightly wider waist, the Flair 79 opens up more terrain, in more conditions, than any other ski in the Flair lineup.

The Flair SC is an easy handling slalom carver, with the perfect mix of dynamic capability. A steel layer in the ski provides durability and a controlled flex, resulting in smooth skiing at greater speeds. The Full Sidewall along the length of the ski creates a direct and effective power transmission - what the skier gives, they get back in spades. Tip rocker allows for a quicker turn initiation and control, and the vMotion3 binding system is compatible with Gripwalk soles on any ski boots, making for a more comfortable and enjoyable ride on all levels. The Flair SC is recreational fun to the max for any true carve-turning-lover.

With an 84 mm waist, the Kanjo offers a lively yet stable feel for cruising on piste thanks to the Titanal binding platform and new 3D radius sidecut. The glass frame and tip and tail rocker also enable smooth, buttery turns. The Kanjo is the perfect on-piste ski for off-piste skiers who dig piste skiing but never want to be regarded as on-piste skiers. If you?re a freeskier looking for an on-piste ski suitable for freeriding that offers both fun and outstanding performance, the Kanjo is the ideal choice.

With 88 mm under the boot, the Kendo delivers impressive carving performance thanks to the three different radii in the sidecut. These enable precise power transmission, uncompromising liveliness and optimum turning behaviour such as never before experienced with Titanal skis. The Kendo 88 is also built with a Titanal frame and carbon tips, providing more stability and impressive damping. As a result the ski offers an extremely lively yet smooth ride, even at high speeds. A multilayer wood core framed by full sidewalls and with a P-Tex 2100 base rounds off the premium construction.

The Kendo with 92 mm width under foot is built with a Titanal Frame and Carbon Tips. The titanal construction runs over the full length and strengthens the sidewalls as well as the tips of the ski, providing more stability and dampening. At the same time the middle section of the ski becomes stronger and allows a softer setup. As a result the ski becomes extremely lively and aswell as stable even at the highest speeds. A Multilayer Woodcore, framed by full sidewalls and a P-Tex 2100 base underneath rounds up the premium construction.

When it comes to the buffet of skiing, if you are a glutton that cannot decide between groomers or powder, bumps or trees, the Kenja 88 is the plate (ski) that can handle your hearty appetite. The impressive carving performance comes from the three different radii in the sidecut, aka: the 3D Radius Sidecut design. Depending on speed and edge angle, the snow connects with a different part of the ski, supporting that specific turn, managing the terrain and forces smoothly. The tip and tail rocker make any turn shape initiation more fluid, plus provide clearance when the slope becomes deep with powder (yay!) or full of crud (yay?). The Kenja 88 is also built with a Titanal Frame and Carbon tips which gives stability without losing playfulness. The result of all of this is a ski that holds beautifully at high speeds while still remaining extremely lively. If you?ve got Kenja 88?s on your feet, it?s time to unbuckle your belt and dig in to all the mountains can offer.

The Mantra 102 with a tip and tail rocker is a true power freerider. The Titanal frame combined with carbon tips not only provides stability and damping effects but also great liveliness. But the real highlight is the 3D radius sidecut. In combination with the Titanal frame and carbon tips, this allows precise power transmission and a smooth ride coupled with uncompromising liveliness and turning behaviour such as never before experienced with Titanal skis!

How do you improve a legend? You retain the features that made the ski famous and add the latest innovations, which allow progress where a year ago you couldn?t see any room for improvement. The new Mantra M6 again comes with a multilayer wood core and tip and tail rocker. But in the coming season, the newly designed ski body will, for the first time, be adapted to a 3D radius sidecut concept with a tailored Titanal frame. By adapting the Titanal components to the various ski lengths and thus to the skier?s proportions, not only can the tip and tail ends be weight-optimised, but the torsional stiffness can also be influenced, thereby improving the ride qualities. This retains the familiar stability of a Titanal ski while also making the Mantra M6 noticeably lighter and more agile to control. The new handling characteristics of the Mantra M6 are also enhanced by the tailored carbon tip. The dedicated positioning of the carbon fibres results in a precise tip response and vastly improves the ski?s torsional stiffness. In summary, the Mantra M6 is even more versatile than its predecessor and once again offers maximum fun!

The Rise Above 88 with a 3D radius sidecut is the most versatile ski in the new touring ski range with impressive performance on both ascents and descents. The hybrid Tourlite wood core provides an impressive combination of minimal weight (1186 g @ 170 cm) and ride smoothness and stability. The 3D radius sidecut has a highly resistant tip, which is especially useful when skiing in wind-blown snow conditions. The sidecut geometry provides both agility and manoeuvrability in narrow passages while the full sidewall offers great stability and resilience. For ski tours with a heavy backpack, the combination of a narrower waist under the boot and moderate shaping in the tip and tail areas helps skiers remain in control and requires less effort when changing direction. The Rise Above 88 also comes with V?lkl?s Smart Skinclip system, which is compatible with both Fibre Tech and Smart Glue skins.

The Secret 96 is a serious recipe for snow-shredding fun. If you take a dash of the powder-loving girth of the Secret 102 and a pinch of the on-piste prowess of the Kenja 88, you?ve got the deliciously versatile combo that is the Secret 96. The new Tailored Titanal Frame and Carbon Tips give the skis much the same smoothness, with a bit more ease. The 3D Radius Sidecut allows for confident turns in any terrain, and the 96mm waist covers the bases for most every snow depth without sacrificing performance in either direction. If your appetite says ?yes, please? to virtually all conditions, and you sometimes prefer cruising over charging, the Secret 96 is your ski du jour.

Above all else, skiing should be fun. And for those that value effortless turns and seamless connection to the snow over powerful rigidity (aka: a ski you have to work a little harder to bend), the Yumi 80 is a fantastic option. The Multilayer Woodcore and Full Sidewall still provide a dynamic ski experience, but the Glass Frame is more forgiving and easier to control than a ski with a Titanal Frame. The 3D Radius Sidecut gives the ski surprising turn shape versatility, agile for short turns while still supporting big sweeping arcs. The Yumi 80 brings the fun when it comes to performance, on and even off piste - when the snow is soft and irresistible.

The Yumi with 84mm waist is an especially playful and easy to handle freeride model due to its 3D sidecut radius. This year's model features a unique combination of a Glass Frame surrounding a Titanal Binding Platform. This adds stability and power transmission under the foot without extra weight. The ski feels smoother and at the same time livelier and can be ridden harder with less effort. It features tip and tail rocker, full sidewall construction, and moderate taper in the tip. The strength of the Yumi has always been the huge range of skiers? abilities who can enjoy it, and the lively, yet stable feel on the front side blended with the float and maneuverability for an occasional off piste venture makes it yet another winner.

The Bash with 86 mm middle width is a tip & tail rocker twin tip for aspiring park and urban artists. The butterzone allows to pull off smooth transitions to switch and back.

The introduction of the Mantra marked the beginning of V?lkl's powerful freeriding ski lines. For those who want to ride free without any restrictions but with the full control of a sportive off-piste ski. The new Blaze series even adds another dimension to the idea. The concept of the ski targets the intuitive freerider who appreciates a playful and at the same time agile and sportive maneouverability. At 106 mm under the binding Blaze 106 weighs only 1772 g (@ 186 length), providing all the lift to make every powder day a dream come true. A just 0.3 mm thick Titanal binding plattform provides direct power transfer and a fast pressure built-up from one edge to another. This gives the ski a most direct response right from the turn initiation. In order to preserve the full flexibility and agility there is intentionally no Titanal included in the tip and the tail. Especially in narrow and rough terrain you will directly benefit from the ski's faster and more direct reaction and with less effort required. The 3D radius sidecut significantly enhances the ski's liveliniess and maneouverability. The Blaze construction targets the short turn-oriented skier but the 3D radius together with the tip to tail Hybrid Multilayer Woodcore adapts to basically every riding style. A great new feature is the Suspension Tip which makes its debut in the Blaze series. This elastic rubbery material on the edges of the tip and the tail acts like a bumper everytime the ski gets in contact with the snow in wind-blown or tracked conditions. The shock-absorbing elasticity ensures not only the resistance but also provides great lift off-piste. V?lkl also offers Smart Glue adhesive skins tailor-made for each Blaze model.

The Blaze 106 W is a light, agile powder ski that is constructed with maneuverability in mind. The thin Titanal Binding Platform underfoot harnesses power with little effort, creating an incredibly enjoyable and dynamic turning experience, immediately from initiation. In narrow terrain and/or rough conditions their reaction time is impressive, especially for a powder-width ski. Their full length Hybrid Multilayer Woodcore and overall design target short-turn-oriented skiers, but the sidecut?s three radius technology adapts to most every riding style. In addition to ripping around the resort, the Blaze 106 W?s also transition into capable freeride touring skis because of their lightweight, yet powerful nature. With the addition of the Suspension Tip, a rubbery, shock-absorbing material on the tip and tail edges, the Blaze 106 W rides high through pow, crud and wind buffed snow with playful power.
