Freeride Skis

Whatever your style of descent – piste or terrain – the Kendo can do it. This is an all-mountain freerider with a state-of-the-art build that can be used for so many different things by experienced skiers who relish powerful turns on any terrain and on any piste. Like the new Mantra and Kenja, the Kendo 88 comes with revised geometry and a one-meter shorter center radius in its 3D Radius Sidecut. The key is that the three different radii combined in one ski make for enormously versatile cornering. The new 16 m radius in the middle further increases its radius variability. Thrills await if you love tight turns cut fully on the edge. This ski encourages a sporty, intuitive style on groomed slopes, but also provides the manoeuvrability you need to get through challenging terrain. Less force is required too, thanks to a shorter centre radius. This season, the Kendo 88 also features Tailored Carbon Tips and a Tailored Titanal Frame. So if it wasn't clear already, there can now be no doubt that fun is the Kendo's middle name. Tailored Technologies – exclusively from Völkl The Tailored Titanal Frame, which features in the Mantra, Secret, Kendo and Kenja, is an evolution of our familiar Titanal Frame. In this design, the width of the Titanal upper belt can be adapted to the length of the ski; the resulting torsional stiffness and the desired damping behaviour can be adapted to the skier. The Titanal content is reduced in shorter skis, which means shorter and lighter skiers can get the most out of their skis without excessive effort. The new Tailored Carbon Tips make the Kendo 88 extremely versatile. Carbon fibres applied by means of Tailored Fibre Placement (TFP) allow our engineers to influence curve behaviour with great accuracy. The strength and alignment of the fibres define the force you need to apply and the energy that builds up where it's needed. Agile shovel reaction is a feature of special note. This means that as soon as you initiate a turn, you can steer the ski in a measured, easy manner. In other words, simply think about changing direction – and it happens. This construction also allows means less weight without any loss of stability. Also included in the new Kendo 88 with tip and tail rocker is our renowned multilayer wood core surrounded by a full sidewall and a P-Tex 2100 base.

A ski for the rad woman who loves to ski everything on the mountain with speed and precision. When it comes to the buffet of skiing, if you are a glutton that cannot decide between groomers or powder, bumps or trees, the Kenja 88 is the plate (ski) that can handle your hearty appetite. The impressive carving performance comes from the three different radii in the sidecut, aka: the 3D Radius Sidecut design. Depending on speed and edge angle, the snow connects with a different part of the ski, supporting that specific turn, managing the terrain and forces smoothly. The tip and tail rocker make any turn shape initiation more fluid, plus provide clearance when the slope becomes deep with powder (yay!) or full of crud (yay?). The Kenja 88 is also built with a Titanal frame and carbon tips that give stability without losing playfulness. The result of all of this is a ski that holds beautifully at high speeds while still remaining extremely lively. If you've got Kenja 88s on your feet, it's time to unbuckle your belt and dig into all the mountains can offer.

The Junior Mantra features a wide shape, offering floatation in soft snow with an ideal match between its Camber profile and a smooth flex. This ski comes without Titanium layer as younger skiers lack the necessary weight to benefit its riding characteristics. With a hot graphic as well, this go-to junior ski gets even better for the upcoming season. Full Sidewall - Direct and strong power transmission with full-length sidewalls. Full Sensor Woodcore - The full sensor construction features hardwood in the binding area but—contrary to the speedwall wood core—a lighter wood under the screws and in the outer areas. This results in very sporty and agile skiing characteristics, especially suited for youngsters and freeriders. - Rocker: Tip & Tail Rocker - Core: Full Sensor Woodcore, Beech/Poplar - Skiing Level: Beginner, Intermediate

With an 86 mm waist, the Mantra JR offers plenty of floatation even in soft snow but is playful in any off-piste environment thanks to a full-sensor wood core for a smooth flex and a tip and tail rocker profile. Contrary to the adult model, this ski comes without a Titanal layer as younger skiers lack the necessary weight to benefit from this feature. The Mantra JR, therefore, offers precisely the handling properties that you'd expect of it – optimally tailored to the target group. - Binding plate premounted: no

The junior version of the Mantra – without a Titanal layer for lightweight riders. With an 86 mm waist, the Mantra JR offers plenty of floatation even in soft snow but is playful in any off-piste environment thanks to a full-sensor wood core for a smooth flex and a tip and tail rocker profile.

The Mantra JR, therefore, offers precisely the handling properties that you'd expect of it – optimally tailored to the target group. TECHNOLOGY - FULL SENSOR WOODCORE The full sensor construction features hardwood in the binding area but - contrary to the speed wall wood core - under the screws and in the outer areas a lighter wood.
