2025 Volkl Blaze 104 Skis

Hybrid Multilayer Woodcore
A particularly light and complex wood core specially developed for touring skis. In the area around the steel edges, a poplar wood hand-picked by weight provides the necessary stability, while in the center of the ski, the soft and light Paulownia wood ensures the ski's flexibility. In the binding area beech wood provides the strength, which is needed to hold the screws of the binding. In the center of the core, a CNC-milled Isocore area contributes to optimal liveliness and dynamic development. Only the lightest batch of each wood delivery makes it into these cores.

Titanal Binding Platform
A thin Titanal layer (0,3 mm) under the binding delivers the necessary strength to the ski. This way the binding screws offer reliable hold even in the toughest conditions.

Suspension Tips & Tails
Inserts made of elastic TPU material on the edges of the tip and tail which act like a bumper in wind-blown or tracked snow. Its shock-absorbing elasticity ensures better stability and catch-free float.

3D.Glass
Compared to classic glass constructions the three-dimensional and multiple-folded glass layers in the tip and in the tail area result in an increased edge grip and a more vivid rebound behavior in turns.

Green Core
// All GreenCore woods are FSC certified // Environmentally friendly glue // Foam: recycled PET

Tip & Tail Rocker
Character: Bends up only in the shovel and tail zones, with a camber shape in the middle

P-Tex 2100
A sintered high-density and high molecular polyethylene base with great gliding characteristics and high durability

Full Sidewalls
Direct and strong power transmission with full length sidewalls.

4 Radius Drive
A Völkl innovation not yet offered by any other manufacturer. With this technology, Völkl sets a new benchmark for the ability to vary the turn radius and combine easy handling with rock-solid stability. This new design provides maximum versatility for various snow conditions both on piste and off piste, increased stability on hard surfaces, and improved performance on soft snow.

• Radius 1
  Approx. 20 m in the frontmost 10 centimeters
  A tighter radius only in the shovel to achieve a more immediate response to the skier‘s initial edge movement; maximum precision and agility
• Radius 2
  Approx. 40 m in the area between the shovel and the binding
  The open radius in the front part of the ski gives the ski more resistance to disturbances and stability at speed
• Radius 3
  Approx. 15 m in the area under the binding
  The tight radius in the camber area provides the ski with more agility even with slight edge movements of the skier, ensuring the necessary buildup of dynamics for short turns and radical carving curves.
• Radius 4
  Approx. 25 meters in the area behind the binding up to the ski end
  The moderate radius at the ski end ensures controlled and situation-adapted dynamics at the end of the turn and provides optimal support for transitioning into the next curve.
