Officially approved under the technical specifications of the International Ski Federation (FIS Approved 16/17), the Völkl Racetiger Speedwall GS R represent the highest level of equipment for racers competing in Giant Slalom events who demand a machine capable of withstanding the brutal dynamic and G-force loads of the course without being knocked off line.

Official FIS Approval and Racing Geometry

Unlike commercial piste skis or "fake race-room" skis, this model complies point by point with FIS regulatory standards for the 16/17 season in terms of waist width, profile, and turn radius. Its design is intended to attack gates in wide arcs at speeds comfortably exceeding 80 km/h, delivering unwavering stability when every hundredth of a second counts.

Speedwall 2.0 Technology and Edge Transfer

Speedwall 2.0 technology incorporates the same synthetic material used in the sliding base into the sidewalls. This makes it possible to wax the vertical sidewalls to minimize parasitic friction when the ski reaches extreme edge angles. Its Full Sidewall construction with straight edges ensures that all the energy generated from the racer's boot is transferred directly to the steel edge, biting into the most glassy ice patches without the slightest hesitation.

Double Titanal, Sensor Woodcore and World Cup Plate

In its internal structure, the Sensor Woodcore core uses carefully laminated dense woods (ash and beech) to provide uniform flex and an extremely energetic energy return (rebound) out of every turn. Two full sheets of Titanal eliminate any vibration at high speed. It comes factory-equipped with the World Cup Race Plate, which optimizes leverage and allows the ski to maintain a natural, continuous flex arc beneath the boot.

World Cup P-Tex 4500 Sintered Base

The base is made from ultra-high-molecular-weight sintered polyethylene P-Tex 4500, featuring World Cup race structure and polishing to maximize the absorption of fluorinated wax or paraffin and deliver the lowest possible friction coefficient on injected race snow.
