Round shape throughout

The rocker models from Völkl provide a round arc line throughout – no kinks – to provide full edge contact. That guarantees balanced energy transmission and ensures perfect steering precision, even at high speed.

Adjusted ski firmness

The 3-section flex makes the ski somewhat firmer up front, moderate at
the waist, and soft in the tail. The ski doesn‘t need to bend so strongly up
front – the rocker shape is enough to provide precise maneuverability in
the powder. The firmer structure prevents ‚overflex‘, keeping the ski light and agile even in the most difficult ski conditions. In addition to this, the softer flex in the tail makes the ski more turn-friendly. The distribution of firmness is optimally adjusted for each rocker ski.

Rocker -specific sidecuts

We‘ve taken each rockered ski and readjusted the sidecut to match the
intended use, putting an extra emphasis on each model‘s ride: deep powder characteristics for the Kuro, a big mountain and speed setup for the Katana, freestyle features for the Chopstick. Mega-variety for the Gotama, Kuku (women) and Gotama jr., the first rockered ski in the
junior line.

Lower tip shape

The more defined the rocker, the flatter the ski tip. Our powder shredders don‘t need high ski tips to avoid tip dives in the deep snow. Their rocker profile is enough to keep them floating. That‘s why the shovels on the Kuro, Gotama and Katana are significantly shallower, which in turn
means less snow resistance and higher speeds.
