Volkl Racetiger SL R FIS Race Skis

This is a dedicated FIS-level slalom ski designed specifically for competitive racing. While it offers incredible edge grip, its stiff flex and aggressive turn radius make it demanding and unforgiving for casual resort skiing.

The included Marker WorldCup Plate is designed specifically for Marker Xcell or Comp bindings. You will need to ensure your binding choice is compatible with this specific race interface.

The 12-meter radius is optimized for tight, quick slalom turns. It allows the ski to engage the edge immediately and snap through transitions, which is essential for navigating gates efficiently.

The 165 cm length is the standard regulation size for FIS slalom competition. It provides the necessary stability and edge contact for high-speed racing, but athletes should verify their specific league requirements before purchasing.

No, the tip rocker on this model is minimal and designed to assist with turn initiation rather than float. It helps the ski engage the turn more smoothly without sacrificing the stability required for icy, groomed race courses.

Like any high-performance race ski, the Titanal layers and stiff core require consistent edge tuning and base maintenance to maintain their snap and grip. You should plan on regular sharpening and waxing to keep the ski performing at its peak.
