VÖLKLRACETIGER GS

Among the shortest skis in the group and equipped with a relatively short radius, they are also fairly supple. They produced mixed feelings among our testers. Some found them extremely enjoyable, while others had reservations. Comments included: “Beautiful, smooth skis. Extremely easy to master. They demand no strength at all. Dynamic yet composed. They hold the chosen arc with confidence. Changing rhythm is no problem – simply apply more pressure. Recommended as a first pair of GS skis and as an all-day ski.” Another tester wrote: “Not especially demanding GS skis. I would recommend them to skiers beginning to explore race-style skiing. The radius is short in relation to the length, so they can handle both short and long turns. Quite versatile skis.” We also heard: “A very pleasant, positive surprise. Slightly too nervous, with a little tip chatter. Apart from that, they are very precise, quick and dynamic.” There were dissenting views too: “Remarkable consumer skis. Incredibly forgiving of both mistakes and changing snow conditions. They do, however, lack stability in longer arcs and wander noticeably.” Another tester wrote: “They demand concentration. You need to stay alert from the very beginning and wait a moment for the turn to initiate. Nervous through the arc. When changing rhythm, you have to pressure them firmly to generate energy.”
