In the design of vehicles intended for remote journeys across rugged terrain, reducing unsprung mass while keeping mechanical mounting points completely rigid makes it possible to tackle steep ascents with minimal energy consumption and descend with complete confidence and steering precision. The Völkl Rise Beyond 96 W 170 cm with Marker Cruise 10 bindings (105 mm brake) brings this balance to modern touring skiing and freetouring. The ski’s internal structure incorporates the Hybrid Multilayer Woodcore, a carefully engineered combination of ultra-low-density paulownia strips with Isocore inserts and dense beechwood reinforcements beneath the mounting platform, preventing any risk of screw pull-out under high torsional forces.

At the tip, Carbon Tip carbon inserts suppress unwanted vibrations when crossing wind-affected or crusty snow while keeping swing weight to a minimum, while its full vertical edge sidewalls, Full Sidewall, provide flawless grip on icy sections and demanding traverses. Its dynamic agility is delivered by 3D Radius Sidecut technology (with radii of 24 m at the tip, 17 m underfoot and 22 m at the tail in 165/170 cm): this three-dimensional design allows for linking short, tight turns in technical couloirs or letting the ski run in wide, high-speed turns on expansive untouched slopes. Its Tip Rocker profile provides immediate float in powder snow, complemented by the Smart Skin Clip front groove for quickly fitting and removing climbing skins. The package is perfectly completed by the Marker Cruise 10 (ref. 7610X1.MW) binding: a tech binding with an ISI Toe toe piece that guides the boot toward the pins with a simple step-in, a rotating heel unit with 3 climbing riser heights (0°, 8° and 12°), DIN release adjustment from 4 to 10, and 105 mm brakes precisely matched to the 96 mm waist.
