In automotive engineering focused on agile handling without ride fatigue, reinforcing the chassis with elastic fiber composites on a lightweight platform makes it possible to absorb road imperfections while maintaining a clean line through corners. The Völkl Yumi 84 161 cm brings this technical solution to all-mountain skiing. Its mechanical core is formed by the Multi Layer Woodcore, which combines dense strips beneath the mounting area to ensure unwavering binding screw retention, with lighter selected woods in the tip and tail to achieve responsive flex and lively turn release.

Instead of using heavy full metal plates, it incorporates Glass Frame technology: a wraparound fiberglass frame that channels torsional stiffness directly to the edges, delivering powerful grip on hard snow while retaining accessible, forgiving flex. Its great maneuverability comes from the 3D Radius Sidecut system (with radii of 21 m in the tip, 14 m underfoot, and 19 m in the tail for this 161 cm length): this triple curvature allows effortless linking of short, tight turns or laying the ski over at speed in wide turns with impeccable stability. Its Tip & Tail Rocker profile with traditional camber underfoot facilitates natural turn initiation and smooth flotation in soft snow. As it is supplied without bindings (flat skis), it allows the skier to install alpine bindings (such as Marker Squire 11 or Griffon 13) or versatile systems, selecting 90 mm brakes.
