Precisely designed to comply with the international regulations of the International Ski Federation (FIS Approved for 15/16) for the U16 high-performance development category, the Völkl Racetiger SW GS R 25 m in the 183 cm length represent the ultimate link to adult World Cup equipment.

25-Meter Geometry and U16 FIS Approval

The 25-meter radius in 183 cm responds exactly to the regulatory and biomechanical requirements of U16 racers, enabling Giant Slalom lines with high cornering speed, a clean line, and absolute directional control. Its traditional Full Camber profile guarantees a contact length of 100% of the steel edge on the snow surface, delivering solid tip-to-tail grip on hard ice and injected snow.

3D UVO Damper and Speedwall 2.0 System

The tip incorporates the UVO (Ultimate Vibration Absorber) device with 360-degree freedom of movement, which immediately neutralizes vibrations and impacts generated at high speed on bumpy or icy slopes. Its Speedwall 2.0 sidewalls incorporate synthetic base material on the vertical edges, allowing them to be waxed to eliminate lateral friction during maximum angulation turns. The Full Sidewall construction ensures that all the power transmitted by the racer is directed straight to the steel edge.

9 mm Race Plate, Double Titanal and Sensor Woodcore

This version comes standard with the 9 mm Race Plate, whose optimized height provides an ideal leverage point to accelerate edge engagement without interfering with the ski's natural, harmonious flex. The solid Sensor Woodcore wood core (high-density ash and beech) is reinforced with two full sheets of Titanal, delivering unwavering torsional stiffness and an extremely responsive elastic return (rebound) out of every turn.

World Cup Sintered P-Tex 4500 Base

The base is made from ultra-high-molecular-weight sintered polyethylene P-Tex 4500, with a race workshop structure and finish to maximize wax absorption and ensure minimal friction from the start gate to the finish line.
