Description
“Powerful skiers who want to comb the whole mountain need a strong pair of boards that meet the most exhausting demands. Thankfully the Volkl Kenja 88 features a Tailored Titanal Frame that’s different for each length option to remain proportional to skier size. The titanal covers the full width at the binding area for torsional stiffness and power transfer, and it goes around the edges, wrapping the tips and tails above the sidewall to add damping and stability. Tailored Carbon Tips in the shovels sit within the titanal frame of the laminant and provide stiffness without the added weight of a second full sheet of metal. Volkl’s Multi Layer Woodcore of beech and poplar is well balanced between performance and a smooth ride. Rocker in the tip improves turn initiation, and a slight splay in the tail lets you quickly maneuver in tight spaces. Positive camber between the shovels and tails creates a long effective edge that grips well for carving. Volkl’s 3D radius sidecut lets you adjust your turn radius depending on what part of the ski you’re driving; the middle of the ski produces a shorter, slalom-style turn pattern, while putting energy into the tips or tails yields a longer turn radius. For women who want to ski the whole mountain and ski any terrain well, look no further than the Volkl Kenja 88. 88mm waist underfoot is versatile for all-mountain skiing Volkl’s Tailored Titanal Frame delivers size-specific performance Beech and poplar wood core has a well-rounded capability Commemorative badge celebrating Volkl’s 100th year Winter 2023/24 model Equipped With 3D Radius Sidecut 3D Radius Sidecut utilizes three radii in one ski shape to deliver maximum versatility. Long radii at the tip and tail provide stability and smoothness, while a short radius in the mid-body allows the skier to switch from long arcs to shorts turns at will, at any speed. Base P-TEX 2100 A sintered high-density and high-molecular polyethylene base with great gliding characteristics and high durability. Full Sidewall Full Sidewall utilizes full-length sidewalls to provide direct and strong power transmission. Multi Layer Woodcore Hardwood immediately adjacent to the sidewall delivers higher power transmission, improves edge grip, and supports the edge against external forces. The softer wood in the middle improves agility and reduces overall ski weight. The combination of both wood types running through the entire ski length contributes to an optimal distribution of the ski stiffness and increases the steering precision. Tailored Carbon Tips Individual carbon fibers are embroidered onto a carrier material, allowing them to be positioned exactly along the stress lines. This opens up completely new possibilities for performance at the front of the ski, which has a decisive influence on handling. The stiffness and torsion can be specifically adjusted by the fiber thickness and millimeter-precise alignment. The visibly integrated Tailored Carbon Tips are light, allow an agile shovel reaction with less effort, and quickly build up energy. Tailored Titanal Frame The new Tailored Titanal Frame provides an incomparable combination of agility and high-speed control. The width of the titanal frame is adapted to each individual ski length and sits above the sidewall to provide the desired damping and torsional stiffness. Longer ski models have more titanal for increased stiffness, power transmission, and damping. Shorter-length skis have less titanal, so that smaller, lighter, and less powerful skiers can use the full potential of the ski. Tip & Tail Rocker Volkl’s Tip & Tail Rocker bends up only in the shovel and tail zones, with camber in the middle. Tip & Tail Rocker enables easy turn entry and exit on hardpack and enhanced floatation in soft snow.”””
