In motorsports focused on agile handling without driving fatigue, reinforcing the chassis with elastic composites on a lightweight platform allows it to absorb surface irregularities while maintaining confident traction through corners. The Völkl Yumi 80 161 cm brings this technical solution to all-mountain skiing. Its mechanical core features the Multi Layer Woodcore, which combines dense hardwood strips beneath the binding area for unwavering screw retention, with selected lighter woods in the tip and tail to achieve a responsive, forgiving feel.

Instead of using heavy full metal plates, it incorporates Glass Frame technology: an enveloping fiberglass frame that channels torsional stiffness directly to the edges, providing powerful grip on hard snow while maintaining an accessible, forgiving flex. Its great maneuverability comes from the 3D Radius Sidecut system (with radii of 19 m in the tip, 13 m underfoot, and 16 m in the tail for this 161 cm length): this triple curvature lets you link short, tight turns with complete ease or lay the ski over at speed in wide turns without losing composure. Its Tip Rocker profile enables a clean turn initiation and smooth float over spring snow or loose powder. As it is supplied without bindings (flat skis), it allows the skier to install alpine bindings (such as Marker Squire 11) or versatile systems, selecting 85 mm or 90 mm brakes.
