Völkl Deacon 79 IPT WR XL

Technologies and manufacturing processes

• WideRide XL

  Marker and Völkl developed the iPT Wideride system with a contact surface width 30% greater than standard. On top of that, the binding is mounted significantly closer to the edge of the ski. This helps the energy flow more directly and continuously to the edges. They make wider skis more agile, responsive and easier to control. The skis are better in tune with the skier's signals and application of pressure and edge for a precise and powerful characteristic. DIN-ISO: 4.0-12.0

• 3D.Ridge

  The wood core is raised in the middle of the ski and extremely flattened towards the sides. This results in an enormous reduction in weight and gyrating mass, while at the same time maintaining the stability of the ski. The 3D.Ridge technology stands for the most extreme and effective construction available at the moment. It has since become the trademark of VÖLKL lightweight construction. A characteristic feature is the raised centre bar, which flattens out to the maximum in front of and behind the binding towards the edge. This reduces the flywheel mass around the pivot point to a minimum and significantly increases the agility of the ski. At the same time, the center bar allows for an exact design of the hard curve, resulting in a 3D.RIDGE particularly harmonious flex curve of the ski. Despite the weight reduction, the 3D.Ridge design does not negatively affect the load and durability of the ski in any way.

• Powered by Steel

  A steel band in the ski ensures very good durability, controlled flex and smooth running even at higher speeds.

• Center Sidewall

  In combination with the super slim 3D.Ridge construction, the partial side cheek in the middle of the ski provides a direct and very solid power transmission.

• Base P-Tex 2100

  Sintered, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene coating with high density, excellent wear resistance and very good sliding properties.
