In the design of sports vehicles geared toward maximum driving enjoyment without punishing the driver, equipping the chassis with fiber reinforcements over a lightweight structure allows it to absorb road imperfections while maintaining clean acceleration through corners. The Völkl Yumi 80 161 cm brings this dynamic refinement to all-mountain skiing. Its mechanical core is made up of the Multi Layer Woodcore, which combines dense beech strips beneath the binding area for unwavering screw retention, with selected poplar woods at the extremities to achieve an elastic, progressive, and lively feel.

Rather than using rigid metal plates, the Yumi 80 features the Glass Frame construction: a multidirectional fiberglass perimeter frame that stabilizes torsion and channels energy directly to the edges, delivering firm grip on hardpack without making the ski demanding during transitions. Its greatest versatility comes from 3D Radius Sidecut technology (with radii of 19 m at the tip, 13 m underfoot, and 16 m at the tail for this 161 cm length): this profile allows you to alternate tight, short turns with complete agility or let the ski run in wide arcs with total confidence. Its Tip Rocker profile provides intuitive turn initiation and smooth float in soft snow. Sold without bindings (flat skis), it allows the skier to install alpine bindings (Marker Squire 11) or lightweight systems with 85 mm or 90 mm brakes.
