Volkl Secret 96 Ski – 2023

VOLKL SECRET 96 SKI

They’re not sure why they keep using this name, because the word’s out. The Völkl Secret 96 Skis are the ripper skier’s best friend, and the closest thing to a race ski that’ll easily handle every snow condition on the mountain. The previous version of this ski was no slouch, but with the addition of the Tailored Titanal tip and Tailored Carbon Tips the Secret becomes calmer and more manageable without losing any of its inner strength or ability to track cleanly at speed. An amazing ski that responds best to a confident driver, the Secret 96 belongs in your quiver even if it’s a quiver of one.  

FEATURES

• Tip & Tail Rocker – Bends up only in the shovel and tail zones, with a camber shape in the middle.
• 3D Radius Sidecut – Three radii in one ski shape deliver maximum versatility – long radii at the tip and tail for stability and smoothness, and a short radius in the mid-body allows the skier to switch from long arcs to short turns at will, at any speed
• Multilayer Woodcore – The combination of beech and poplar results in an extremely durable wood core composed of hard wood in the binding area and lighter wood surrounding it.
• Tailored Titanal Frame – The size of the frames is tailored to the skier’s height, skiing ability and power. This means that longer ski models have a higher titanal content for more stiffness, more direct power transmission and stronger dampening. The shorter the length, the lower the titanal content, which makes the ski more agile, so that smaller, lighter and less powerful skiers can use the full potential performance of the ski.
• Tailored Carbon Tips – In this innovative manufacturing process the new Tailored Carbon Tips are produced by embroidering the individual carbon fibers onto a carrier material. This allows them to be positioned exactly along the stress lines, opening up completely new possibilities, for performance at the front of the ski, which has a decisive influence on handling.
• Full Sidewall Construction – Sidewalls from tip to tail delivers maximum power to the edge.
