Description & Features
The Racetiger World Cup FIS GS is the perfect giant slalom ski for ambitious athletes competing at the top level. It features World Cup technologies, including the Tailored Carbon Tip, where carbon fibers are embroidered onto a carrier material for precise torsion control. This offers a direct and reliable shovel response, allowing a more direct approach at the gate. The three-layer Titanal, solid ash wood core, and phenol sidewalls bolster the ski and provide dynamic stability. This FIS-approved ski comes with the Marker 10mm World Cup plate, offering excellent power transmission, edge grip and dynamics.

Technical Info
Tailored Carbon Tip
The latest Volkl technology is Tailored Fibre Placement. The Tailored Carbon Tips are produced in an innovative manufacturing process by embroidering the individual carbon fibers onto a carrier material. This allows them to be positioned precisely along stress lines, delivering just the right response from the tip during turn initiation. The stiffness and torsion can be adjusted via the fiber thickness and millimeter-precise alignment. In this way, the fibers guide the dynamics to the parts of the ski where they are needed. The visibly integrated Tailored Carbon Tips are lightweight and allow the ski to build up energy, getting the skier into the turn quickly with incredible control and precision.
POWERED BY TITANIUM
It is constructed of extra-thin and strong aluminum alloy, providing perfect dampening characteristics. The titanium setup makes the ski agile and dynamic. Those with a hard, fast, and aggressive riding style benefit from this construction's quick response.
ASH WOOD CORE
The high-quality solid ash core is a technical highlight that greatly impacts the ski's overall feel, making it smooth and powerful for fast runs on firm snow.
This resilient hardwood acts as an energy accumulator: while the ski flexes when initiating the turn, the fibers stretch and build up energy. At the exit of the turn, this accumulated energy is released, giving the ski a prodigious rebound and energy. Due to the specific stretching behavior of ash, the ski also absorbs the energy from imperfections in the snow surface, resulting in the greatest possible stability and smoothness.
TIP ROCKER
An early-rise tip design for racing. Combining an early-rise tip and a classic camber profile provides easy, smooth turn initiation regardless of conditions. The ski is forgiving and easy to handle.
RACE FINISH
World Cup skis come with special edge angles for better grip in fast and tight turns.
Zebra Base Structure
The Zebra pattern is a more aggressive base structure to offer the best possible precision & steering characteristics for the front of the skis.
