2027 Racetiger GS Ski w/ Binding

If you love super-fast, long turns with plenty of pressure on the edges, there’s not really any alternative.

The 2027 Racetiger GS features Tailored Carbon Tips. Tailor-made carbon fibers allow the ski to be adapted to exactly the turns it’s going to be used for. The strength and alignment of the fibers define the force you need to apply and the energy that builds up in exactly the right places, which means agile shovel reaction with a precise response the moment you initiate a turn. When you steer it, the GS feels ultra-precise and controlled, and you need less power to do so. Its characteristics are due to a short and flat tip rocker and, most especially, its geometry, with a radius of 17,5 m at the length 178cm. A narrow waist means more dynamic skiing and faster edge changes.

TECHNOLOGY

• Tailored Carbon Tips - In this innovative manufacturing process the new Tailored Carbon Tips are produced by embroidering the individual carbon fibers onto a carrier material. This allows them to be positioned exactly along the stress lines, opening up completely new possibilities, for performance at the front of the ski, which has a decisive influence on the handling of the ski. The stiffness, torsion and thus the skiing characteristics can be specifically adjusted via the fiber thickness and millimeter-precise alignment. In this way, the fibers guide the dynamics to the areas of the ski where they are needed. The visibly integrated Tailored Carbon Tips are light, allow an agile shovel reaction with less effort and quickly build up energy. The Tailored Carbon Tips thus reach a new level of precision, direct tip response and active skiing pleasure.
• 3D.Glass - 3D.GLASS is Völkl’s development to furthermore improve overall ski performance and stability even in critical snow conditions. Compared to classic glass constructions the three-dimensional and multiple-folded glass layers in the tip & tail area result in an increased edge grip and a more vivid rebound behavior in turns.
• Full Titanal - The titanium setup makes the ski agile and dynamic. Especially friends of a hard, fast and aggressive riding style benefit from the quick response of this construction.
• Base: P-Tex 4504 - A sintered, ultra-high molecular polyethylene base with an extremely high density. Besides a great wear resistance and perfect wax absorption the P-Tex 4504 is extremely fast and exclusively used on our top of the line and race models. The material has been upgraded with special additives to make it thermal and electro-conductive and proves its qualities with premium glide and maximum speed in races.
• Race Finish GS 1,1° / 87.6°
• Base structure: Zebra structure - Engineered for ultimate on-piste precision, Zebra Structure features a deep, high-definition base pattern tailored to narrower, system-mounted skis. This aggressive structure delivers lightning-fast, reliable turn initiation and smooth, controlled drifting for maximum carving performance.
