Völkl Deacon 84 (All Mountain Ski 2022/2023)

Product Summary

During our extensive review the Ski proved to be easy to master as well as very stable at speed. Moreover he proved to be a ski with excellent edge hold. The ski is very smooth and forgiving. It's the perfect tool for intermediate skiers. The All Mountain Ski prefers perfectly groomed runs over fresh powder. However due to its medium-width waist, this ski is also a good shout for riders who like to venture off piste from time to time. The ski is available from 162 to 182cm.

The ski in details

The ideal on-piste carver for changing snow conditions: 84 mm middle width for maximum pleasure on icy or fresh covered slopes!

The Deacon 84 skis aswell on icy slopes as on fresh snow, bringing a smile to the face of experienced skiers. The integrated Titanal Frame delivers power and stability, the new LowRide XL binding with GripWalk allows great power transfer due to the extra low stand height. The ski comes with Full Sidewall and a P-Tex 4504 base. The 3D.Ridge construction, with Titanal Frame combined with 3D.Glass and Tip & Tail rocker also increases the power transfer and higher torsional stiffnes, an improved edge grip and better liveliness. The new 3D radius sidecut technology lifts the carving performance of the ski into another dimension.

Hi, I am contemplating buying the Deacon 84, but puzzled about the 8.3 / 10 score attributed to "Physical effort": Does it mean it takes too much effort to control the skis or the opposite? If anot...

Hi Charles, sorry if the name of the test category is a bit misleading. As with the other categories, the higher the score, the better the ski. For the physical effort this means: the higher the rating, the easier and more comfortable the ski is to ride.
