Directly derived from the demands of the German factory's race circuit in Straubing, the Völkl Racetiger SW GS R in the 183 cm length represent the optimal balance between the solidity of a competition Giant Slalom ski and the maneuverability required for technical Masters courses and high-level training events.

3D UVO Damper and Constant Contact

The tip incorporates the prestigious UVO (Ultimate Vibration Absorber) system with 360-degree floating technology. This device neutralizes transverse and longitudinal vibrations produced by injected snow and bumps at high speed, keeping the edge in continuous contact with the snow surface. The result is a much smoother, more direct and precise turn entry, without losing speed through the gates.

Speedwall 2.0 Sidewalls and Dual Titanal Chassis

Speedwall 2.0 technology integrates the same sintered material used for the sliding base into the straight sidewalls, allowing them to be waxed to reduce parasitic friction when the ski reaches extreme edge angles. The Full Sidewall construction fully transfers every gram of force from the boot directly to the steel edge. The sandwich reinforcement with two full sheets of Titanal over the solid wood Sensor Woodcore (a combination of selected ash and beech) provides unwavering torsional stiffness under high centrifugal-force loads.

World Cup Race Plate and P-Tex 4500 Base

It comes standard with the Marker World Cup Race Plate, which optimizes leverage for clean edge angulation without the boot rubbing against the ice, while maintaining the ski's continuous, natural flex. The base is made from ultra-high-molecular-weight sintered polyethylene P-Tex 4500 World Cup, with a race finish and structure to ensure the lowest possible sliding resistance.
