Description & Features
The Volkl Racetiger JR SL ski is a junior slalom race ski designed for developing athletes who need quick edge engagement and precise control. Built for U12 to U14 racers, it delivers a smooth, predictable feel through tight, technical courses.
A torsionally soft tip in shorter lengths helps initiate turns easily and consistently, giving young racers confidence as they develop timing and line choice. The construction evolves with length, using a Grown Layup to adjust Titanal thickness and core composition for balanced performance at every stage.
Full sidewall construction, a multi-layer wood core, and a race-ready base provide strong edge grip and reliable energy through the turn. The integrated Marker Junior Race Plate enhances power transfer while maintaining a smooth, forgiving flex pattern.

Construction & Technology
Grown Layup
Construction is tuned by length, adjusting Titanal thickness and core composition to match skier size and ability. This ensures consistent performance across the full size range.
Full Titanal Construction
Titanal layers provide stability and damping, helping young racers stay balanced and controlled through quick slalom turns.
Multi-layer & Tailored Torsion Woodcore
Wood core construction evolves by length. Softer flex patterns support smaller racers, while stiffer configurations in longer lengths improve power and precision.
Torsional Soft Tip
A softer tip design in shorter lengths improves turn initiation and helps developing racers engage the edge more easily.
Full Sidewall ABS
Provides consistent edge grip and precise power transfer for better control on firm race surfaces.
Tip Rocker
An early-rise tip improves turn initiation while maintaining strong edge hold through the rest of the ski.
Zebra Base Structure
An aggressive base pattern that improves glide and steering precision in slalom race conditions.
Race Finish
World Cup-level base and edge preparation designed for maximum grip and speed.
