NEW CHAPTER IN THE RACETIGER ERA: GS and SL MASTER
Ground-breaking new technologies, a new design and a new name: we have completely updated our Racetiger GS Pro and Racetiger SL Pro skis and launch two new Racetigers: the Racetiger GS and SL Master. It’s a new chapter in the Racetiger’s long success story.

FULL TITANAL
Titanal is used all over the ski, when stability and ultraprecise reaction at the highest speed are the top priorities. This construction is mostly used for racing and high-end All Mountain models.
The Titanal is placed in a full sheet in the ski with mostly 0,7 mm thickness. As a general rule there are two Titanal belts integrated in the ski, one above and one below the wood core. This is the typical race ski construction and it is used for all of Völkl’s top Racetiger and Deacon models and it is optimized for hard and icy on-piste conditions. -
One of our latest technologies is Tailored Fibre Placement. 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.

FULL ASH WOODCORE
The high-quality core made of solid ash, which extends over the entire length of the ski, is a technical highlight that has great impact on the skiing characteristics. The particularly elastic hardwood has so far only been used in racing skis for World Cup athletes and acts as an energy accumulator: while the ski flexes when initiating the turn, the fibers stretch and absorb the tension energy. At the exit of the turn, this accumulated energy is released, giving the ski a lively feel. Due to the specific suppleness of ash wood, the ski also adapts optimally to the surface. This results in the greatest possible stability and reliability, which makes the ski particularly smooth.
Volkl:
Since 1923, Volkl has manufactured skis in Straubing, Germany, a Bavarian town about an hour's drive north of Munich. In the 1960s, Seaos started distributing Volkl in North America under the Othmar Schneider and Sears brands. Though they recently built a state-of-the-art production facility in Straubing, the original factory is still in use as the Volkl World Logistics Center.
In early 2007 Volkl presents another quantum leap in the evolution of the ski: Power Switch Technology, a mechanism that allows you to completely transform your skis' characteristics, with a simple manual switch enabling the adjustment to current snow conditions or to your fitness level. One of the greatest innovations in skiing since the invention of carving and a fundamental buling block for the future of skiing.
