2026 Volkl Peregrine 72 Skis W/ R-Motion 12 GW Bindings

The 2026 Volkl Peregrine 72 W/ R-Motion 12 GW bindings is a purpose-built carving ski for advanced to expert skiers who value grip, power, and technical precision without the punishing demands of a full race ski. With a blend of responsiveness and composure, it’s a frontside specialist that thrives on firm snow and rewards active technique with smooth, snappy energy through every turn.

Why we like it:

Its combination of World Cup‑inspired tech and approachable tuning makes it one of the most refined front‑side carvers for riders who want power without excess.

Who it's for:

Designed for advanced to less aggressive expert skiers, this ski rewards good technique and shines in medium to short radius turns.

Highlights:

Built around a multilayer hardwood core with a poplar‑beech mix, the Peregrine 72 features all the tech from the race room: a full layer of Titanal, full-length ABS sidewalls, and 3D Glass layup, which together create a high performing yet approachable frontside ski. Volkl’s signature Tailored Carbon Tips tune tip response precisely for each length, giving quick, measured steering with minimal swing weight. Tip & Tail Rocker promotes quick transitions, and camber underfoot maintains grip on firm or icy surfaces.

Things to consider:

While the Peregrine 72 can handle mixed conditions and softer snow, it’s primary focus is frontside terrain and hard packed or groomed snow. Skiers looking to explore beyond the groomers will want to take a look at something more versatile.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size; size up for stability at higher speeds, or down for improved maneuverability.
