SPEEDWAL TECHNOLOGY

A ski with sidewalls – not a new idea in and of itself, but Völkl reinvents this historic construction and takes it to the next level with its SPEEDWALL technology. Modern racers spend more time on their sidewalls and edges than their bases. For the first time we‘ve taken this development to its logical conclusion in two new Racetiger models. The innovation is that we view the sidewalls not just as lateral boundaries to the skis, but rather as a continuation of the surface that contacts the snow. That‘s why we construct the new Speedwalls out of a proprietary composite sintered base material – SPEEDWALL sidewalls can be waxed and treated with the same products as the bases. For athletes that means less friction and more speed. Racing is pure athleticis m. Time and success are measured in hundredths of seconds and decisive factors can be achieved through efficient utili zation of all material resources . SPEEDWALL technolog y is the outco me of this knowledge ; Prepare for Speed
