In all-wheel-drive racing car engineering, reinforcing the perimeter frame of the monocoque with high-rigidity structural alloys makes it possible to absorb the most brutal loads in fast corners while maintaining millimetric, flat tracking. The Völkl Kenja 88 163 cm brings this mechanical precision to the mountains. Its construction features the proven Multi Layer Woodcore, combining dense ash and beech stringers beneath the binding area to ensure indestructible resistance to screw pull-out, with more dynamic selected poplar woods in the tips to deliver consistent elastic flex.

To achieve sporty damping without making it an excessively heavy ski, the Kenja 88 incorporates the Titanal Frame: a laser-cut Titanal alloy wraparound frame that follows the edge contour, providing torsional rigidity and channeling pressure instantly into the snow. The Carbon Tips inserts reduce swing weight in the shovel and eliminate chatter on crusty or hard snow. Its dynamic versatility comes from 3D Radius Sidecut technology (with radii of 26 m in the tip, 14 m underfoot, and 23 m in the tail in 163 cm): it allows you to link short, agile turns by engaging the 14 m central arc, or let the ski run at speed through open turns with the composure of its long 26 m and 23 m radii. Its continuous Full Sidewall edges ensure impeccable bite, while the Tip & Tail Rocker profile guarantees smooth edge-to-edge transitions. As it is sold without bindings (flat skis), it allows the skier to install alpine bindings (Marker Squire 11 or Griffon 13) with 90 mm brakes.
