With a high-tech interior ready to master the toughest challenges & Volkls unique Bio-logic technology to reduce knee strain, improve stance & joint stability & also reduce fatigue, these skis will keep you going all day, chomping at the bit for another run. The beginning stages are behind us, now its time for some more sporty skiing fun. Speeds are slowly increasing & the angles on the turns are getting closer to the fall line.  The slender Estrella, decked out in blue, is tailored for skiers at the intermediate stage – & ready to grow with them as well. The Power Grip structure with 3 Motion bindings system on a classic cambered shape lends precision in carrying momentum throughout the entire turn.   Ski

Specification Geometry:  124/73/94 Radius:  14.8m at 158cm Construction:  Power Grip, Bio-Logic Core:    Duel Woodcore Light Bindings:  3 Motion
- Please note that this ski does not come with the blue bindings as shown in the picture, it comes with a violet / yellow variant but is the same binding. Shown in separate picture above   Ski

Features:
Full Camber: The target group for this profile is the athletic, classic on-piste skiers & this design means that the edge length does not vary.  This constant edge length provides maximum control, precision & ride quietness in both gliding & slight edging situations. DUAL WOOD CORE:   The Dual Wood Core construction consists of the wooden core extending across the width of the ski body & is positioned within the central binding area. The Dual Wood Core delivers extra power under foot & allows easier & lighter flexing at the tip & tail for a smooth, somewhat forgiving performance Power grip:  By means of its special 3D design, the Powergrip construction method generates more edge pressure, particularly in the binding area. The rails are interrupted in this area of the ski in order to house the 3 Motion binding designed especially for Powergrip construction. The fact that the structure is divided into a front & rear area results in relatively low side walls, allowing even more direct contact between the ski boot & the edge. In conjunction with the binding, the ski gains the perfect blend of powerful edge grip, more rounded flex in the binding areas & sporty, but not too aggressive, characteristics. More grip for less effort! Biologic Technology: It is now widely known that women are much more likely to injure their knees while skiing then men. Not because they ski differently, but because their anatomy reacts more sensitively to strains. Volkl have succeeded in engineering BIO-LOGIC which results in reduced stress levels to knees, with more refined & balanced activation of the leg musculature.   This result is obtained by 3 separate ideas: 1) BIO-LOGIC FLEX The skis flex has been adjusted to the special characteristics of BIO-LOGIC GEOMETRY & STANCE. The result is an even more flexible, energy-saving & yet still sportive performance. Turn after turn flows more smoothly & harmoniously. 2) BIO-LOGIC STANCE The toe area is slightly raised compared to the heel, making turn initiation easier. First & foremost this forces a more dynamic posture with better knee flex angles. The result is a highly efficient, less tiring skiing feel. The muscle supporting the knee are more actively balanced for enhanced protection. 3) BIO-LOGIC GEOMETRY Degressive sidecut: the radius is smaller in front of the binding than behind it. Just like a power steering system, this makes quick turns possible & reduces the extreme stresses at t

Just like the Shiro, the Gotama is powered by carbon. Its full rocker profile means that despite its size, this ski behaves with unusual dynamism. For those riders who love time in the powder but spend most of their time on the groomed slopes & occasionally want to throw off some new tricks on the kicker & park, the Bridge with a moderate full rocker is the optimal fun machine. Tough Box Construction features a multi-layered wood core wrapped with a composite/fiberglass sheath to create the ultimate resilience & snap for Völkl’s freeskiing models. Surrounding the core in the mid-body of the ski, it adds snap, strength & binding screw retention. The top-of-the-line models in the VÃ-LKL Alpine ski range boast a special wood core tuning system
- all powered by titanium. There is a layer of titanium reinforcing the ski & adding power & stability. The thin yet extremely strong aluminium alloy extends its unparalleled dampening properties particularly at high speeds. Völkl freeskiing models feature a multi-layer wood core with two different densities of wood. In the binding attachment area, a dense, ash core is used, while in the rest of the ski, the core is poplar. The more dense wood creates secure screw retention & stability, while the softer poplar section allows for resilience & snap. The flex pattern can be tailored to each ski model to match the desired performance characteristics. Ski

Specification Geometry: 139mm/107mm/123mm    Turn Radius: 27.4 Metres for 186cm length Terrain: Freeride/ All-Mountain/ Freestyle Core

Material:
Multi-Layer Woodcore Camber/ Rocker: Full Rocker Technology:  Tough Box Construction, Multi-layer woodcore Bindings: No Bindings included

Having not skied it for a couple for years & getting back on it this year I was back in love. It is such a versatile ski you really can ski it anywhere. Is this for me? A magical one ski quiver this one, it has been around for a while for a very good reason. Its tail is soft & buttery for powder skiing yet the nose of the ski is stiffer for drive when on harder snow. Buy it!   SKI BINDING ADVICE: You will need a minimum 110mm brake width for this ski. You could pair the Gotama with a Marker Griffon or Marker Jester for a durable package. Or if you are looking for a binding with a raised heel the Marker Duke or Baron would be a good choice. You can always go wider for your brakes but dont be tempted to go narrower. View our bindings department.

The little brother to the Mantra brings the same skiing experience to the prepared slopes. For those who spend most of their time on the piste but want a stable, versatile freeski, the little brother of the Mantra offers the kind of skiing performance to bring that off-piste feeling onto the prepared terrain. Which isn’t to say that the Kendo isn’t ready for powder days- it is- but the real potential for this tip rocker ski powered by titanium comes on-piste. Völkl’s longest-running construction, Power Construction utilizes traditional vertical sidewalls & a torsion box internal layup. Used in racing skis as well as all the freeskiing models, this versatile, proven construction provides tremendous grip, stability, & a smooth ride.

This ski is perfect for a decent skier that realistically spends most of their time on the piste but likes to dabble off of the sides to. The edge hold is second to none, the tip rocker allows a nice easy turn initiation then the camber section drives the ski through the mid part of the turn so well. I would have skied nothing but this all test if they would have let me! Is this for me? This is aimed at the advanced skier that is spending 80% of their time on the piste but likes to hop off the sides when the mode strikes. It is a very planted, stable & powerful ski that offers amazing performance levels at all speeds thanks to the titanium inside. This ski will go nicely with a Marker Griffon on it.   SKI BINDING ADVICE: You will need a minimum 90mm brake width for this ski. You could go for a Marker Griffon or for lighter skiers the Marker Squire. You can always go wider for your brakes but dont be tempted to go narrower.

For the true aggressive freeride skier who is looking for an all-mountain one quiver ski that can have plenty of fun on the cruise back to the bottom of the mountain. When I went to the ski range review this year and saw the Gotama (And the Mantra!) I was thinking how long these have been the mainstay of Volkl’s ski range, and for good reason, they are dependable, powerful, rewarding and bombproof. I still think the Gotama is pretty much a benchmark ski. Yes the Mantra is fantastic, but spends a lot more time on the piste, and excels there. The Shiro, amazing in deep powder, unbeatable. But the Gotama just sits there in the range wedged between these two models, with
a wry grin, as it knows that it can match both skis for 80-90% of the time. And that is what makes the Volkl Gotama one of those benchmark skis that others, including its brothers, will be judged by. On the mountain, it is a dream to ski, float on tap whether in deep powder or Meribel afternoon slush, and for carvers like me there is still edge hold when required, despite the generous width. I think if you asked any of our test team, over the years, this ski has always been in their top 5, and that shows just how good it is, and we all love the new graphics too!
