Alpine Tip Rocker – Variable edge length in the shovel zone, rocker height is moderate. Makes it easier to turn the ski. The cambered area underneath the foot and at the tail provides control and support for novices and intermediates.

Bio-Logic Flex – Völkl carefully matches the flex to complement their Bio-Logic stance and geometry parameters. A bit stiffer in the tip for quick turn initiation and a bit softer in the tail for easy exit from the turn allows you to ski longer with less fatigue.

Bio-Logic Geometry – The radius is smaller in front of the binding than behind it. Just like a power steering system, this makes quick turns possible and reduces the extreme stresses at the end of a turn. Turning becomes more harmonious and precise.

XTD Progressive Technology – Moderate reinforcement across the edge in the middle zone of the ski delivers a sufficient degree of stability without making turns any less gentle to initiate. The soft-flexing tail facilitates drift at the end of turn, especially for beginners.

Bio-Logic Stance – Bio-Logic models with tip rocker use the profile of the ski to create a more level stance, allowing less loading of the quads and better, more relaxed performance.

Biologic Wood Core Xtra Light – Originally designed for the high-end V-Werks line, this high-quality, super-light wood core so effectively supports the Bio-Logic construction, through increased maneuverability and reduced stress on the skier, that Volkl decided to integrate it into the Essenza collection as well.

Powered by Steel – A metal layer just under the topskin delivers dampness and power at speed.

4Motion 11.0 TC Chiara Bindings Included – Power transfer over the four separate, widely placed rails leading to superior power transfer and uninhibited flex.

Bindings Do Not Come Mounted to Skis – Always have a certified binding technician mount and adjust your bindings.
