Product Summary
During our extensive review the Ski proved to be easy to turn in long turns. This ski is just right for good skiers. Stable but not overpowering. The Katana V.Werks is a pure freeride ski. Riding on groomers is no problem but due to its fairly wide waist the ski has a strong bias towards powder runs. The ski is available from 177 to 191cm.
The ski in details
The Katana is a legend. For years it has been the choice of several of Völkl‘s pro big mountain riders. With 3D.Ridge construction and a Full Carbon Jacket construction, the V-WERKS Katana is one of Völkl's signature pieces of technology, made in Straubing. It features a super light-weight ICE-OFF top sheet which makes the ski incredibly maneuverable, with performance enhanced through its unique combination of materials. Especially when considering its dimensions it's an incredibly light and versatile 112mm wide big mountain ski with full rocker.
