Volkl CrossTiger Carbon + IPT 11.0 TC D 09/10:

Tiger

In many Asian cultures the Tiger is a symbol of bravery and power. At VÖLKL, the TIGER has the same standing, but it also represents on slope nimbleness and effortless handling. The new generation of big cats has an impressively wide range of characteristics for different skier types - from novices to experts. Precise edge grip, harmonious flex and diverse quality constructions matched to the specific skier needs make up the 2008/09 formula for the TIGER line.

CROSSTIGER CARBON

High-performance ski with superior skiing performance for quick carving on the slopes

Is speed carving your thing- Heres your ski: the CROSSTIGER CARBON. A powerful, high-performance ski with superior edge grip. Its finely tuned skiing performance comes courtesy of its high-tech construction, with XTD Sensor Woodcore and Double Grip XTD. The wood core contains thin inserts of titanium and carbon to provide an extremely quiet, controlled ride, even on hard, ribbed slopes.

Powered by Titanium

The top-of-the-line models in the VÖLKL Alpine ski range boast a special wood core tuning system - all powered by titanium. Above and below the XTD Sensor Wood Core or XTD Wood Core, there is a layer of titanium reinforcing the ski and adding power and stability. The thin yet extremely strong aluminium alloy extends its unparalleled dampening properties particularly at high speeds.

Grip Technologies

Double GripXTD

Ever since carving was invented, edge grip has been vital. Precise hold has become the deciding factor in skiing as speeds and carving forces have increased. In order to optimise power over the edges, VÖLKL has developed the Double Grip principle: double height, double edge grip! The doubling of the Wood Core construction with a second wood core built up over the edges allows greater power transfer and stability and increases leverage. With Double Grip XTD, the additional wood core extends along the entire length of the ski. This makes the continuous flex of the ski rounder and more harmonious. The result is precise edge grip and reliable hold so you can carve your track through the snow at high speeds.


Wood Core Concept

XTD SENSOR WOOD CORE

The XTD Sensor Wood Core is the construction method with the greatest proportion of wood. The core consists of a number of layers of wood glued together using a special patented process to allow the wood and resin to be better bonded. Two additional wood cores stretch along the ski edges for its entire length. The XTD Sensor Wood Core offers an incomparably precise ride and harmonious flex.

3Motion D

The 3Motion ski binding system embodies free flex, improved edge grip with excellent safety and outstanding sports performance. It was developed as an integral part of the Powergrip construction where the rails are interrupted in the middle of the ski in order to accommodate the binding and provide a softer flex. The front and heel fittings are mounted from above with no screws, so the binding is fixed at four contact points immediately above the edges and at a wide point on the ski. The direct connection improves the transfer of power to the edges and the system allows the skier to flex into the ski-s radius with less energy or force. In the 2008/09 season, MARKER and VÖLKL are introducing 3Motion Jr. version based on the same design principals.
