The Volkl Racetiger SL R Junior is a newly designed Junior racing ski with new sidecut and woodcores individually adapted to every single ski length.
In developing the Racetiger SL R JR, the R&D team worked closely with ski legends Giorgio Rocca and Manfred Pranger to test every single ski length in cooperation with up-and-coming young racers from various ski clubs as well as their own children (Francesco and Giacomo Rocca plus Mario and Laura Pranger). The feedback from the talented young athletes combined with the older athletes’ experience significantly contributed to the development of the new junior skis. Even though all lengths are identically constructed, the material thicknesses and individual proportions of each layer vary. A torsionally soft tip reduces the torsion by approximately 60%. As a result the ski tip reacts more precisely and directly, turn initiations are much easier and less power is needed throughout the whole curve. The series also features a two-piece race plate interface, creating a much more harmonious bending curve and evenly distributing the grip. The hole pattern enables the toe binding to be attached with only three instead of four screws, resulting in a more direct edge response and power transfer and making the ski more forgiving to ride.
Powered by Titanium: The titanium setup makes the ski agile and dynamic. Especially friends of a hard, fast and aggressive riding style benefit from the quick response of this construction.
Base P-Tex 4504: A sintered, ultra-high molecular polyethylene base with an extremely high density. Besides a great wear resistance and perfect wax absorption the P-Tex 4504 is extremely fast and exclusively used on our 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..
Full Sidewall ABS: The specific synthetic substance of the entire sidewall enables a precise and direct power transfer.
Marker junior race interface: Smooth and round ski flex combined with a direct and reliable power transmission and more stability. Available in 2 size options: two-piece construction for shorter lengths (sole length: 190mm - 294mm) or one-piece construction with hinge for longer skis (sole length: 230mm - 334mm).
Ski comes with the Marker Jr Race Plate pre-mounted and ready for the Marker bindings below.
