Product Summary
The ski in details
With 100 years of ski-building experience in a single ski
In honor of the company’s 100th anniversary, the engineers at Völkl brought their extensive know-how to bear, while making no compromises in terms of material selection and riding characteristics. The result is a ski that is unique in every respect. The V-Werks 100 has a mid-width of 100 mm, which gives it sufficient lift in soft and deep snow. Its shape offers exceptional maneuverability, while ensuring that it is extremely responsive and yet easy to control. This is typical Völkl performance, but honed even more.
These riding characteristics are particularly exciting when you look at the construction of the ski. This is where the Völkl research and development team departs from its usual route, and sets new standards in sustainable ski construction. The 3D milled wooden core is made of 100% FSC certified wood. Both the steel edges and the surface are made from recycled materials, but there has been no compromise on quality or performance. One of its outstanding features is the use of natural, renewable flax fibers, which actually replace carbon. Völkl has developed a system whereby the flax fibers are placed along the force lines of the ski so they perfectly and sustainably affect the dynamics of the ski and the force required, especially in the blade area. The ski’s remarkable look shows that it keeps to its promises.
Technologies
3D H-WOODCORE
The two-piece wooden core construction of the V.Werks 100 is not only a visual highlight, but also impressively balanced and controlled to ride. The wooden core consists of two completely environmentally friendly, FSC-certified poplar and beech solid wood parts, which are connected via a central side panel.
TAILORED FIBRE PLACEMENT 2.0
The unique construction of the ski, in which the translucent part of the ski actually extends to the binding, is made possible by an ingenious combination of an innovative wood core with matching carbon and natural fibers, which optimally transfer the forces between the boot and the ground to the edge and enable highly dynamic skiing styles.
Base P-Tex 4504
A sintered, ultra-high molecular polyethylene base with an extremely high density. Besides a great wear resistance and perfect wax absorption the P-Tex 4504 is extremely fast.
3D.Ridge Carbon
Central Woodcore Ridge with superslim wings to significantly reduce weight and swing weight and keep the stability where necessary. Combined with Full Carbon Jacket for Stability.
Tip & Tail Rocker
Character: Bends up only in the shovel and tail zones, with a camber shape in the middle.
