2023 Volkl RT SL R WC FIS Skis

When you get up into the top end of the racing pyramid, you need the gear that’s going to take you to the next level. In the world of slalom racing, that’s the Volkl Racetiger SL R WC FIS skis.

Why we like it:

We like how Volkl takes their actual race level skis and incorporates a lot of technology into all of their Racetiger models. While this is best for a U18 racer, there’s still a whole lot of race-room influence here. Race skis need the top level of design and engineering, and those aspects are clearly seen in the Racetiger SL R WC FIS skis.

Who it's for:

The Volkl Racetiger SL R WC FIS skis are ideally suited for U18 racers who are looking for as close to the real deal as it gets. You not only want, but also need the top-level equipment required for such an event.

Highlights:

The multi-layer World Cup wood core consisting of ash and poplar makes this ski feel like the real deal. We also get two full sheets of titanal to smooth out the snow and deliver maximum feedback to the skier. Like most race skis, the Racetiger SL R WC FIS is fully cambered for excellent grip and rebound. Slalom is all about combining balance and power, and those attributes are certainly highlighted in this ski.

Things to consider:

Slalom racing is a very specific facet of skiing. If you are looking to be a competitive slalom racer, then you’re in the right place. We recommend consulting your coach for proper sizing guidelines.
