Völkl Kendo 88 (Powder Ski 2023/2024)

Product Summary

This ski is just right for good skiers. Stable but not overpowering. The Kendo 88 is a more off-piste oriented ski which rides great in deep powder. Thanks to its versatility however, it is also fun on groomers from time to time. The ski is available from 163 to 184cm. The ski is very agile and performs well in all sizes of turn radius - both long and short. The radius ranges from 13 m to 17 m (depending on the length of the ski).

The ski in details

Whatever your style of descent – piste or terrain – the Kendo can do it.

This is an all-mountain freerider with a state-of-the-art build that can be used for so many different things by experienced skiers who relish powerful turns on any terrain and on any piste. Like the new Mantra and Kenja, the Kendo 88 comes with revised geometry and a one metre shorter centre radius in its 3D Radius Sidecut. The key is that the three different radii combined in one ski make for enormously versatile cornering. The new 16 m radius in the middle further increases its radius variability. Thrills await if you love tight turns cut fully on the edge. This ski encourages a sporty, intuitive style on groomed slopes, but also provides the manoeuvrability you need to get through challenging terrain. Less force is required too, thanks to a shorter centre radius.

Technologies

3D Radius Sidecut
Three radii in one ski for maximum TURNING & SPEED VERSATILITY IN ALL MOUNTAIN

Base P-Tex 2100
A sintered high-density and high molecular polyethylene base with great gliding characteristics and high durability.

Full Sidewall
Direct and strong powertransmission with full length sidewalls.

Multilayer Woodcore 1
The side wall is laminated to extremely stable layers of wood on the sides of the sandwich core.

Tailored Carbon Tips
The stiffness, torsion and thus the skiing characteristics can be specifically adjusted via the fiber thickness and millimeter-precise alignment.

Tailored Titanal Frame
The width of the titanal frame is now adapted exactly to each individual ski length. This results in Tailored Titanal Frames, which are positioned above the sidewall alog the tip and tail area of the ski to provide the desired damping and torsional stiffness.

Tip & Tail Rocker
Character: Bends up only in the shovel and tail zones, with a camber shape in the middle.

Titanal Frame
More damping and stability over the full length of the ski Power on the Edge Strength for the mounting platform Damping over the full length Light & strong carbon tips.

Woodcore
Special PU construction with a wooden core in the ski body.
