VOLKL BLAZE 86 w/V MOTION 11
The Volkl Blaze 86 builds on its reputation for lightness, versatility, and agility. Without Titanal, it’s sprightlier and lighter, designed for quick, tight turns while still excelling in demanding terrain and long curves with its three-radius sidecut. Suspension tips and tails enhance flotation and durability off-piste. Perfect for backcountry touring, it balances a slight weight increase for a superior skiing experience. With a full tip-to-tail wood core, it handles ascents effortlessly and descents with pleasure (except in deep snow). The Blaze 86 offers an intuitive feel and exceptional creativity on the slopes.
