In high-efficiency sports car design, reducing the overall weight of the assembly while retaining rigid supports at critical mounting points makes it possible to create a dynamic vehicle that responds instantly to the slightest steering input. The Völkl Blaze 94 W in 165 cm (122432) faithfully brings this principle to the mountains. Its internal structure is based on the Hybrid Multilayer Woodcore, which combines lightweight paulownia strips with selected dense beech and poplar woods, tipping the scales at just 1455 g per ski to devour uphill meters with climbing skins while retaining complete stability on the descent.

Under the boot, it features the Titanal Binding Platform: a 0.3 mm titanal plate that transfers impulses directly to the straight vertical Full Sidewall edges and prevents any risk of mounting screw pull-out during hard landings. At the ends, the Suspension Tips & Tails TPU elastomer inserts work as passive shock absorbers, dissipating the jolts caused by wind-affected snow or crust before they reach the skier's legs. Its 3D Radius Sidecut geometry in 165 cm delivers tremendous maneuverability: its tight 14 m central radius makes short, intuitive turns easy among trees or in narrow passages, while its open radii in the tip (27 m) and tail (20 m) ensure a composed, smooth line in wide high-speed turns. As it is sold without bindings (flat skis), it allows the mounting of touring bindings with pin inserts (such as ATK FR14 with a 97 mm to 102 mm brake) or alpine all-mountain bindings.
