eco friendly - Hemp/Canvas Topsheet, Recycled Base & Wooden Sidewalls with TPU Dampening

HEMP/CANVAS CONSTRUCTION
HEMP/CANVAS CONSTRUCTION

A natural hemp/canvas weave, with topside print sealing, replaces the conventional plastic topsheet. It’s a technical material with excellent durability and tear-proof characteristics. A topsheet made from renewable resources!
PARTIAL GRIP-LACQUER
PARTIAL GRIP-LACQUER

It’s both a stylish design feature and integrated stomp pad! Depending on the design, there are coarse or finer grains inside the lacquer – with or without glitter… Benefit from a unique look and bulletproof grip!

TIP-TO-TAIL SUPREME WOODCORE
TIP-TO-TAIL SUPREME WOODCORE

Our Tip-to-Tail Supreme Woodcore is made of strips of Aspen-Falcatta wood with four strips of Falcatta being integrated in the Aspen core. Combining these gives the core the best dampening and flex properties, providing outstanding performance.
SLIM-TIP CONSTRUCTION
SLIM-TIP CONSTRUCTION

Unlike a conventional sandwich construction, the Slim-Tip Construction incorporates a solid and shock-absorbing urethane inlay in the nose and tail sections instead of ABS sidewall material. Benefits include a stylish, slimmer nose, reduced swing- and overall weights for better board control – perfect for all riders, not just for high-speed rotations in the park!

DIRECTIONAL FREESTYLE SIDECUT
DIRECTIONAL FREESTYLE SIDECUT

Perfect for all-mountain riders who feel as at home in the park as in the backcountry! The more moderate, directional sidecut has been tuned to work perfectly with a setback of 20 mm. Therefore the boards ride more direct and allow fast edge-to-edge turning. The shape and its playful riding characteristics are the best buddy for freestyle moves in the park, while the longer nose offers more flotation in powder. Nose and tail are not identical but these boards can also be ridden with a setback of 0 mm.
ALL-MOUNTAIN / POWDER ROCKER
ALL-MOUNTAIN / POWDER ROCKER

This rocker is longer and more concave in the nose than in the tail, which results in maximum float in powder. In the backcountry it offers you playful riding characteristics without sacrificing grip and precise edge-to-edge turns.
6x2 INSERT SYSTEM
6x2 INSERT SYSTEM

Generally you’re dealing with one of three insert systems: 4x4, 5x2 or 6x2. With a 4x4 system, the inserts are 4 cm apart. With the 5x2 and 6x2 Insert Systems, the insert rows are separated by 2 cm only. This way the stance can be set more exactly – down to the precise centimeter. The 6x2 Insert System is specifically employed in our top freestyle boards to offer individual binding placement. Adjustments on binding discs will be limited to the centering of bindings.

WOODEN SIDEWALLS WITH TPU DAMPENING
WOODEN SIDEWALLS WITH TPU DAMPENING

Lab tests showed that wooden sidewalls have a more balanced flex curve than conventional ABS sidewalls without sacrificing stability! Völkl’s wooden sidewalls consist of several connected layers of strong armor wood – a stunning visual feature! A complex special impregnation process protects the wood against moisture and the effects of Mother Nature. Brand-new: a dampening layer made of shock-absorbing PU in between sidewall and edge. This TPU dampening is a thermal-plastic polyurethane which is especially flexible.

REINFORCED SIDEWALLS
REINFORCED SIDEWALLS

To add stability, our wooden sidewalls are all coated with high-quality fiberglass, which improves durability without sacrificing flexibility.

SANDWICH CONSTRUCTION
SANDWICH CONSTRUCTION

Located between the upper and lower beams on the board’s sides is an ABS synthetic sidewall which has been integrated to directly transmit pressure from the binding onto the edge without loss of power. The board gives a very responsive feel, providing maximum edge grip and the smoothest ride possible.

TRIAXIAL FIBERGLASS WEAVE IN UPPER AND LOWER BEAM
TRIAXIAL FIBERGLASS WEAVE IN UPPER AND LOWER BEAM

This special fiberglass weave has fibers that have been positioned at a 45° angle (+45°/-45°) in addition to running nose to tail. Depending on the density of the woven fiber, torsion and flex are enhanced without influencing the wood core’s thickness. This reduces weight, which delivers responsiveness and better edge grip.

SINTERED RECYCLED BASE
SINTERED RECYCLED BASE

Whatever’s left over from the regular base production gets processed into pellets, which we grind and sinter. The resulting bases made of off-cuts and by-products offers the same high quality as a regular base, but gives our planet some love.
DIE-CUT
DIE-CUT

Our ultrasound cutting machine cuts out differently colored pieces of the base, which are then manually put together like a jigsaw. A combination of multi-colored base components gives the design individuality and character.

FINE STONE FINISH
FINE STONE FINISH

A good stone finish is the best base structure for almost all snow conditions. A stone finished base perfectly absorbs wax and makes the board ride faster. The Völkl Race Lab selects the perfect stone finish for all of our boards!

DIAMOND FINISH
DIAMOND FINISH

A diamond finish is now standard on all our boards (except those equipped with a Convex Powder Base or Convex Slide Base). The edges are ground so that they extend 1° down from the base and 1° out from the sides. The diamond finish not only makes the edges more durable but also provides maneuverability and great edge hold in icy conditions.

NATURAL WAX FINISH (BIODEGRADABLE)
NATURAL WAX FINISH (BIODEGRADABLE)

After positive tests in our Race Lab, all Völkl boards now get a finish with HOLMENKOL's “Natural Wax”. Good news for all riders who are looking for a biological wax with excellent gliding characteristics. It doesn’t include paraffin, is made of sustainable resources and biodegradable. Those who want to take extra care of their boards with a green consciousness, can buy HOLMENKOL's “Natural Wax” in normal packaging sizes in the specialized trade.

VÖLKL PREMIUM CARBON WEAVE / POP 2.0
VÖLKL PREMIUM CARBON WEAVE / POP 2.0

Carbon fibers in the lower beam make the board stronger and livelier. The carbon fibers’ tensile strength allows for very short response times. In addition, the high-class, specifically made Völkl Premium Carbon incorporates lengthwise fiberglass strips. This weave considerably enhances the board’s torsional stiffness, pop and liveliness. Depending on the required riding characteristics and the amount of carbon, Völkl has developed four different POP Carbon inlays. One permanent strip, plus two short V-shaped Völkl Premium Carbon strips each embedded in nose and tail.
