Details The Völkl Kendo 88 Ski is is an all-mountain freerider with a state-of-the-art build that can be used for so many different things by experienced skiers who relish powerful turns on any terrain and on any piste. Like the new Mantra and Kenja, the Kendo 88 comes with revised geometry and a one meter shorter center radius in its 3D Radius Sidecut. The key is that the three different radii combined in one ski make for enormously versatile cornering. The new 16m radius in the middle further increases its radius variability. Thrills await if you love tight turns cut fully on the edge. This ski encourages a sporty, intuitive style on groomed slopes, but also provides the maneuverability you need to get through challenging terrain. Less force is required too, thanks to the shorter center radius. This season, the Kendo 88 also features Tailored Carbon Tips and a Tailored Titanal Frame. So if it wasn't clear already, there can now be no doubt that fun is the Kendo's middle name. Suggested Use All-Mountain, Powder, Groomers Camber / Rocker Style Tip and Tail Rocker Shape Directional 3D Radius Sidecut Long Tip and Tail Radii Usage of long radii at tip and tail for big turns and high speed, easy steering and maneuverability. Disruption resistant at the tip, with no radius limitation and ease of turn exit. Tight Center Radius Usage of shorter radius in the center for short turns and lower speed makes it extremely easy to initiate short turns and strikingly agile, offering effortlessly smooth short turns. Flex Precise, stiff flex pattern Core Material Multilayer Woodcore The combination of beech and poplar results in an extremely durable wood core composed of hard wood in the binding area and lighter wood around. Construction Tailored Carbon Tips In this innovative manufacturing process the new Tailored Carbon Tips are produced by embroidering the individual carbon fibers onto a carrier material. The stiffness, torsion and thus the skiing characteristics can be specifically adjusted via the fiber thickness and millimeter-precise alignment. In this way, the fibers guide the dynamics to the areas of the ski where they are needed. The visibly integrated Tailored Carbon Tips are light, allow an agile shovel reaction with less effort and quickly build up energy. The Tailored Carbon Tips thus reach a new level of precision, direct tip response and active skiing pleasure. High reliability/stability at the lightest possible weight- simply think about changing direction, and it happens. Tailored Titanal Frame In this design, the width of the Titanal upper belt can be adapted to the length of the ski; the resulting torsional stiffness and the desired damping behavior can be adapted to the skier. The Titanal content is reduced in shorter skis, which means shorter and lighter skiers can get the most out of their skis without excessive effort. Sidewall Full Sidewalls Edges All Völkl ski edges, except for the FIS Race and Adult Pro models, are manufactured and sharpened with the following standard angles: 1.4° base bevel, 87.6° sidewall. Base P-Tex 2100 Brushed Structure Binding Mounting System Flat Skis Bindings are purchased separately and drilled to the skis to mount.
