VOLKL 90EIGHT 2020 MENS SKI

PROFILE -

Rocker Camber Rocker – Ski profile with rocker at the tip and tail, camber in the middle. Reducing the pressure on the edge at the tip and tail makes the ski even easier to handle and increases flotation on powder snow. The camber guarantees great grip on packed snow.

SIDEWALLS-

Sandwich Compound Sidewall – All Blizzard skis with the exception of some junior skis are built with ABS or Phenol sidewalls for superior performance (stability, power transmission, handling) and durability. 

CORE -

TrueBlend W.S.D. Core – TrueBlend core of Beech with seven stringers of Poplar, tailor-made for each length of ski, using lighter Women's Specific Design woods.

LAMINATES -  

BASE -

 Sintered Graphite Base

PROFILE -

Tip & Tail Rocker – Bends up only in the shovel and tail zones, with a camber shape in the middle.

SIDECUT -

3D Radius Sidecut – Three radii in one ski shape deliver maximum versatility - long radii at the tip and tail for stability and smoothness, and a short radius in the mid-body allows the skier to switch from long arcs to short turns at will, at any speed.

CORE -

LAMINATES - 

SIDEWALLS -

Full Sidewall Construction – Sidewalls from tip to tail delivers maximum power to the edge.

BASE -

PROFILE -

Early Rise™ – Tip and tail lift away from the snow to bring the contact points closer to the center of the ski. This increases a ski's lift in deep snow and allows it to engage more quickly on hardpack.

SIDECUT -

5-Cut™ Geometry – Five different radiuses are blended into the ski's sidecut. The result? A wide variety of turn shapes and an intuitive feel.

CORE -

Aspen and Paulownia Wood Core

LAMINATES - 

Carbon Flax Tape – Carbon Stringers offset by Flax Taping create added stiffness without the pingy, deflective properties of Carbon.

SIDEWALLS -

Sidewall Construction – Ultra-high density Polyethylene vertical walls over the edges to absorb vibrations and provide powerful energy transmission.

BASE -

Sintered 1.3 mm Base – Sintered bases reduce friction against the snow allowing for more speed, and more durability due to the high-density material they're crafted from.

PROFILE -

Rocker Profile – 10mm Tip / 2mm Camber / 10mm Tail

FLEX -

Symmetric Flex™ – The same flex pattern in front and behind your boot conforms to terrain equally riding forward & backward.

CORE -

 Aspen Veneer Core – An amalgam of Aspen Stringers brought together for a lightweight, snappy, and engaged feel.

LAMINATES - 

Bio Resin – Increases bonding with the core

SIDEWALLS -

Thick-Cut Sidewalls For Added Edge Strength
