A new addition to the Volkl RTM range for 2014, the Volkl RTM 81 is designed for long & fast turns on groomed & all-conditions terrain with all-mountain versatility. The Volkl RTM 81 features a narrower nose shovel combined with an 81mm waist which makes it incredibly agile & fast when it is driven hard. The XTD Sensor Woodcore helps drive power to the edges for incredible edge hold & the ski features a high sidewall (Transmission Sidewall) & a traditional sidewall, to give a super-solid hold & sublime control. Transmission Sidewalls combined with a Marker i PT Wide Ride binding system ensures every ounce of power & input from the ski is fed through to the ski edges, for incredible edge hold & agility whether on the piste or diving off the sides. FEATURES & BENEFITS Full XTD Sensor Wood Core – Stiffness in the right places for power & stability Transmission Sidewalls drive power to the edges of the ski for increased edge hold even on the firmest pistes Additional Classic Sidewall for even more edge hold & fast response Power Construction Powered By Titanium – Designed to deliver smooth & stable power to the ski edges thanks to a Titanium laminate fused to the wood core

It is an all-mountain category ski so is equally adept in powder” IS IT FOR ME? This ski is for the aggressive all-conditions skier who wants a ski that will thunder through all snow conditions – crud, ice, slush & give huge confidence, for the powerful piste or all-mountain skier.
