VÖLKLSHINE SC

The shortest skis in the group, and also those with the smallest radius. Unsurprisingly, they are agile. Our testers nevertheless found them fairly versatile considering the geometry. On points, they finished just off the podium. Comments included: “Pleasant skis that enter short carved arcs well. Fairly versatile and suitable for intermediate women. They do not demand a great deal of work. They do not tire you – just freedom and wind in your hair, beneath the helmet.” Another tester wrote: “Self-turning skis that move from edge to edge with extraordinary ease. For strong grip, however, you must use some force and give them a firm stomp. That also makes them quicker and more dynamic, which in turn makes them more tiring. Changing rhythm from shorter to longer arcs requires some persuasion.” We also heard: “Highly turny skis that require active skiing, pressure, strength and conscious technique. Give them a little more and they will genuinely repay you, especially at greater speeds and in dynamic turns. A strong option for women who want to ski faster and more technically, and who feel confident on groomed pistes.” This was followed by: “Very enjoyable and smooth, with good grip through the arc. Among the best in the group. And then there are those beautiful graphics.”
