Measuring 75mm across the waist, the slender but snappy tip rocker ski with dual woodcore is a real all-round talent on groomed terrain. Ride the Mountain ski constructions are harmonized to different ability levels, skiers ranging from beginner to pros can all find their perfect counterpart. The RTM 75 Features a tip rocker profile, this means that the variable edge length at the shovel makes the ski much easier to turn. It has a cambered area underneath the foot & at the tail, this provides control & support for novices & intermediates. 4 Motion binding is yet another example of creating the perfect setup for each target group. It was developed for the mid-range skis in the RTM series. The rails are set farther apart for optimum power transmission. The Triple Pivot Compact toe is shared by Marker’s well-known Squire binding, & is combined with either a Twin Cam heel or Comfort heel. The dual woodcore RTM 75is version has a unique 3D design which stabilizes the front of the ski body & transmits forces toward the ski’s centre for a comfortable ride. A central member surrounded by PU, Wood Core provides stable, lively skis to improving novice & intermediate skiers. For a tip rocker construction this translates into the stability needed for higher speeds without making turns any less gentle to initiate. At the end of the turn the classically cambered tail provides a clean arc for the curve to follow. The SENSOR models are coincidentally also produced based on this construction principle. Ski

The highly agile RTM 77 has a light full rocker profile & is especially notable for the exceptionally simple way it carries momentum throughout the entire turn. Ride the Mountain ski constructions are harmonized to different ability levels, skiers ranging from beginner to pros can all find their perfect counterpart. The RTM 77 model has a moderate full rocker, which makes it unbelievably agile on & off the slopes. The RTM nevertheless deliver extreme control, even at higher speed ranges. 4 Motion binding is yet another example of creating the perfect setup for each target group. It was developed for the mid-range skis in the RTM series. The rails are set farther apart for optimum power transmission. The Triple Pivot Compact toe is shared by Marker’s well-known Squire binding, & is combined with either a Twin Cam heel or Comfort heel.

As the name suggests, The Dual Wood Core consists of  parallel strips of wood  surrounded by PU. Featured in the XTD Progressive construction, it is layered with extra glass sheets top & bottom for added ski rebound. Ski

For the skier who skis 1-3 weeks of the year, wanting to progress at their own pace, & needing a ski that will ski in all conditions, its spot-on. Only those craving powder will find it coming up a little short. For infrequent excursions with that light full rocker it is excellent though, & far more interactive & supportive than a traditional piste ski. I would happily have this ski in my personal collection, It feels so easy to turn, almost effortless thanks to the rocker, & eats up choppier sections of snow (Anyone who has skied the 3 Valleys think Meribel at 3pm on a sunny day!) I also like the fact that although it has a steel laminate, it is not as heavy as some of its competitors at this price point, thanks to the 3D construction giving it control without extra weight, & the lighter binding thank found on its bigger brother the RTM 80. If you are mainly a piste skier, & are progressing from an older set of piste skis or early carvers, this is a PERFECT ski to move to, as you get some rocker without feeling you have to transform your skiing style, & will find the smoother feed into & out of the turns a revelation!

The RTM 80 is a good recommendation for strong skiers who demand top reliability & performance on varied terrain.

The cap construction on the RTM 80 makes this full rocker ski more forgiving & a bit softer in the general ride characteristics yet still delivers the necessary power reserves for athletic skiers pushing their limits. The Extended (XTD) Wood Core is used in XTD Progressive constructions. More forgiving than the Extended Sensorwood Core, it consists an solid central section that extends toward the tip & tail. Ski

Thanks to Volkls Ultralight core & topsheet technologies, the Squad Prime is extremely light & nimble, which is ideal given that this board was made for spinning. High end features such as carbon inserts, advanced dampening technologies & wooden sidewalls give this board  great pop, while retaining consistency throughout the flex pattern of the board. Traditional camber profile will suit expert riders by offering unmatched pop, & fantastic hardpack edge hold.  A slightly higher rise in the nose than the tail will provide good float in powder, opening the Squad Prime up to the major leagues of backcountry booters.

Specification Construction: Pro Camber Profile, True Twin Sidecut, Ultra Light Wood Core, Ultra Light Topsheet with Partial Grip Lacquer,   Horror Shock Absorber, Wooden Sidewalls with TPU dampening,  POP 3.0 carbon weave, Sintered   Base   Length: 158cm Running length: 123.5cm Waist

Width: 25.6cm Sidecut radius: 7.93m (average) Setback: Centred Flex: 8   FEATURES Pro Camber – This is a traditional snowboard profile, with the camber section of the board running from the tip, all the way to the tail, with no rocker sections at all.   This effectively means that the whole board is constantly preloaded & ready to react to our every input. Camber boards can be a little more challenging to ride in difficult conditions, but unmatched edge hold (no matter what you hear) & real ‘pop’ from your ollies is the reward.   True Twin Tip Freestyle Sidecut – A fairly narrow sidecut radius & short effective edge. Identical sidecut & flex patterns at the nose & tail, give a predictable & controllable ride when riding switch or regular. A lively, yet forgiving ride is achieved. As with all Volkl snowboard sidecuts, multiple radii are blended together to produce an extremely controlled turn, allowing slight pressure changes to alter your turn radius, without having to drastically alter body position.   The Ultralight Poplar Woodcore represents a 20% weight saving over the already pretty light classic wood core. Generally used in combination with carbon stringers, axial weaves & various other flex/stiffness tuning additives to produce a super light weight high performance board.     Volkl’s thinnest topsheet yet. The Ultralight Topsheet,  at just 0.3mm thick is super light. Everyone could benefit from a bit of weight shaving.   Sections of the topsheet lacquer are impregnated with coarse, or fine grains, this Partial Grip Lacquer add grip & a very visually stimulating graphical design.   Horror Shock Absorbers are H shaped hardwood inserts in the binding areas.   They absorb the shock & vibrations from the board, reducing the amount that reaches your bindings. They also add overall strength & durability to the board, while enhancing the pop.   Wooden Sidewalls with TPU Dampening – Several different plys of Armor wood above a layer of shock absorbing thermal poly urethane.   This not only looks stunning,  but achieve a more consistent flex pattern than ABS sidewalls   POP 3.0 feature 3 full length strips of carbon. One running the length of the board from tip to tail, with the other two running the length of the
