It has become a symbol of VÖLKL lightweight construction. The distinctive characteristic of this technology is a raised central ridge that sharply levels out toward the edge, both in front of and behind the binding. This reduces the inertial mass around the fulcrum to a minimum and significantly enhances the agility of the ski. At the same time, the center ridge allows for a precise dimensioning of the hardness distribution, which leads to an especially harmonious flex on the ski. Despite the weight savings, the 3D.RIDGE ensures that there is no compromise whatsoever in the ski‘s durability and elasticity.
Effect: Makes it easier to turn the ski. The cambered area underneath the foot and at the tail provides control and support for novices and intermediates.
With specially shaped tips, a special wood core, and 3D.Ridge construction, everything about the VTA 88 Lite delivers the maximum climbing capability. But it‘s still designed by Völkl - we focused not just the weight, but the weight per surface area, designing a ski that offers the best skiing experience with the most climbing efficiency. Like all VTA models, it features the added advantage of the ICE.OFF topsheet, designed to keep snow and ice from adhering to the topsheet to keep the lightest possible setup.
