WIDERIDE XL
Marker and Völkl developed the iPT Wideride system with a contact surface width 30% greater than standard.
On top of that, the binding is mounted significantly closer to the edge of the ski. This helps the energy flow more directly and continuously to the edges. They make wider skis more agile, responsive and easier to control. The skis are better in tune with the skier’s signals and application of pressure and edge for a precise and powerful characteristic. DIN-ISO: 4.0-12.0.
3D.RIDGE
Central Woodcore Ridge with superslim wings to significantly reduce weight and swing weight and keep the stability where necessary.
Our 3D.Ridge technology - is probably the most extreme and effective construction technique that currently exists. It has become a symbol of VÖLKL lightweight construction.
The distinctive characteristic of this technology is a raised central ridge that sharply levels out towards the edges, both in front of and behind the binding. This reduces the inertial mass around the fulcrum to a minimum and significantly enhances the agility of the ski. At the same time, the center ridge allows for a precise dimensioning of the hardness distribution, which leads to an especially harmonious flex on the ski. Despite the weight savings, the 3D.Ridge ensures that there are no compromises in the ski‘s durability and elasticity.
POWERED BY STEEL
A steel layer in the ski provides very good durability, controlled flex and smooth skiing in faster speeds.
CENTER SIDEWALL
Direct and strong powertransmission with partial sidewalls in the center of the ski, combined with the superslim 3D.Ridge construction.
BASE P-TEX 2100
A sintered high-density and high molecular polyethylene base with great gliding characteristics and high durability.
If you would like your skis set up and waxed, please send an e-mail sales@theski-shop.co.uk after placing your order with the following information below.
Please include your name and order number. Otherwise, skis will be sent out and will require waxing and setting up at your own convenience.
Skis with bindings drilled on will be classed as used and non-returnable unless faulty.
Information & details required from you for ski setup:
- Skier's Age.
- Skiers Height.
- Skiers Weight.
- Boot brand/make & sole length in millimeters. Usually found embossed on side of heels. eg 315mm
- Skier classification: Please pick one:Type -1, Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, Type 3+
Type -1
Skiers looking for a lower release setting than type 1. Recommended for beginners over 25 years old.
Type 1
Ski conservatively. Prefer slower speeds. Ski on easy to moderate slopes. Intermediate level, but not in good physical fitness. Good skiers, but with smooth supple style, but emphasizing safety. Favour lower than average release/retention settings – This corresponds to increased risk of inadvertent binding release in order to gain increased release capacity in a fall.
Type 2
Intermediate skiers in good physical condition. Prefer a variety of speeds. Ski on varied terrain, including most difficult trails. All skiers who do not meet all the descriptions of the other types.
Type 3
Ski aggressively. Normally ski at high speeds. Prefer moderate to steep terrain. Favour higher than average release/retention settings. This corresponds to decreased capability to release in a fall in order to decrease the risk of inadvertent binding release. (Type 3 should not be used by skiers of less than 22kg)
Type 3+
Very strong skiers, on challenging terrain. Skiers looking for higher release settings than type 3.
Please note: Skier type does not have the same meaning as skier ability. I.E, an advanced skier who skis all-terrain but is not particularly aggressive may be able to use type 2 settings.
Using the boot sole length you give, we set the binding to that length, but the final adjustments and checks can only be made with the actual boot. Heel and toe units on ALL boots have to conform to a certain size and shape. However, sometimes boots especially older models or well-worn ones, may vary in length compared to another stating the same measurements hence it is important that you do have them professionally double-checked.
We recommend that you have your skis double-checked by your local or resort ski shop with your actual boot.
