Voile HyperVector BC

The scaled base is designed for rolling terrain and moderate approaches where you want to avoid the hassle of taking skins on and off. While it offers excellent grip for flatter or rolling backcountry travel, it won't match the steep-climbing traction of full skins on icy or very vertical ascents.

Yes, at under six pounds per pair, the HyperVector BC is exceptionally light. The Paulownia and carbon construction keeps the weight down for long days in the backcountry without sacrificing the stability you need for the descent.

While full-cap construction is generally lighter and more forgiving, the HyperVector BC compensates with a full-contact steel edge. This provides reliable edge grip on firmer snow, though it will feel different than a heavy, metal-laminate ski designed specifically for resort carving.

The early-rise tip combined with the wide shovel creates significant float, allowing the ski to plane easily on top of soft snow. It helps prevent the tips from diving, which is essential for maintaining momentum in deep, untracked conditions.

The anti-ice topsheet is highly effective at shedding snow, which helps keep the skis light during your ascent. It prevents the heavy snow buildup that can occur on standard topsheets, making it a noticeable benefit during long, wet, or variable-temperature days.
