Volkl V-Werks Katana Skis 2018

A truly revolutionary ski that turned the ski industry on its head a few seasons ago, the Völkl V-Werks Katana Skis continue to amaze in 2018. Lighter than almost anything else in their class, with a super thin profile and a shape that yearns for deep days, the V-Werks Katana is an ideal ski for big mountain powder touring when you know you want some extra flotation but don't want to drag around unnecessary weight.

Product Details

Rocker Type:

Full Rocker: Völkl Full Rocker is a smooth, gradual bend from tip to tail, with matching sidecut and a symmetrical flex pattern. All the benefits of extra maneuverability in soft snow while delivering smooth, sexy arcs of groomed terrain. The matching flex and sidecut on the full rocker gives you full, uninterrupted edge contact. The more the ski is on edge the more effective that edge becomes, and the resulting smoothness and predictability is uncanny.

Shape:

Moderate Tip & Tail Taper

3D.Ridge Carbon Technology: Völkl's revolutionary 3D.Ridge construction features a distinctive ridge down the center of the ski that bevels out to a very thin edge both in front of and to the rear of the binding. This significantly reduces inertial mass at the perimeter of the ski, increasing agility.

Core:

Multi-Layer Wood Core: Völkl freeskiing models feature a multi-layer wood core that features two different densities of wood. In the binding attachment area, a dense, ash core is used, while in the rest of the ski, the core is poplar. The more dense wood creates more secure screw retention, preventing binding pull-out, and the soft, supple poplar section allows for resilience and snap. The flex pattern is tailored to each ski model, depending on the desired performance. Multi-Layer Wood Core

Laminates:

Full Carbon Jacket: Material layup for direct transmission and high reliability/stability at the lightest possible weight.

ICE.OFF Topsheet: The unique surface structure and material composition reduces icing as the snow simply slides off the topsheet. This leads to a drastic reduction of weight in use, on average up to 20% to 30%. In addition, mainly white graphics support the anti-icing effect. Lighter skis prevent fatigue, especially on long and steep uphill sections. ICE.OFF Topsheet

Sidewalls:

Center Sidewall: Direct and strong power transmission with partial sidewalls in the center of the ski, combined with the super-slim 3D.Ridge construction.

Base:

P-Tex 4500 Base: A sintered, ultra-high molecular polyethylene base with an extremely high density. Besides a great wear resistance and perfect wax absorption, this base material is extremely fast and exclusively used on Volkl's top of the line and race models. The material has been upgraded with special additives to make it thermal and electro-conductive and proves its qualities with premium glide and maximum speed in races.

Additional Features:

SkinPin: A skin fastening system that is magnificent in its simplicity: perfect fixation and easy to use; full functionality without unnecessary bells and whistles. The skin is attached by inserting its pin through a shaped hole in the shovel of the ski. The skin is then rotated 90° to lock it in place. Once rotated the skin fixation is 100% reliably secured. The system can be monitored by the skier from above at any time to provide visual peace of mind. The hole in the tip of the ski is also helpful for building a rescue toboggan in an emergency. SkinPin
