Völkl Rise Beyond 98 (Backcountry Touring Ski 2020/2021)

Product Summary

The Völkl Rise Beyond 98 is the perfect tool during both downhill rides and steep ascents. Thanks to its low weight, the ski is easy to master even on longer trips. Skilled skiers will enjoy both relaxed cruising and pushing the ski to its limit. The Rise Beyond 98 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. Available lengths for the ski are ranging between 156 and 184cm.

The ski in details

Aim high, wide and deep with the Rise Beyond 98 touring model featuring the new Smart Skin clip.

The Rise Beyond 98 is available in 5 different lengths and is the widest model in the new touring range, built for deepest snow conditions. The tip rocker provides fantastic lift even in the softest conditions. The Tourlite Woodcore paired with a Carbon Tip allows a durable but rather light construction (1390g @ 170) resulting in a ski that is a dream in long wide powder descents but also works well during long climbs.

The new Smart Skin clip skin attachment is compatible with either the Fibre Tech or Smart Glue skins.

Technologies

Tip Rocker

Carbon.Tip: Tip material layup for high reliability/stability at the lighest possible weight.

Tourlite Woodcore: The combination of beech under the binding and poplar plus paulownia in the outer areas results in a very lightweight woodcore construction which proved to work especially well for touring skis.

Smart Skinclip: The newly developed Smart Skinclip system allows the ski tourer to decide for himself, depending on the situation, in which direction he should pull the skin on and off. A standard snap hook at the tail end of the ski allows the skin to be attached and detached from behind. The skin can, however, also be pulled on and off quickly and easily from the front. This new flexibility is made possible by an elastic snap hook, which is also easy to grip with gloves. A subtle depression in the ski tip gives the hook lateral guidance and prevents it from unintentionally releasing the skin while walking.
