The Katana V-Werks is a legend. For years it has been the ski of choice of several of Vo;lkl's pro big mountain riders. With a 3D.Ridge and a full carbon construction, the Katana V-Werks is still offering an extraordinary combination between light weight and downhill performance - a masterpiece of Straubing engineering. Intermediate / Advanced All Mountain / Big Mountain / Touring Full Rocker Multilayer Woodcore Light - The combination of light beech and poplar results in a very durable woodcore composed of hard wood in the binding area and - due to its dedicated slots - lighter wood around. Full Carbon Jacket - Material layup for direct transmission and high reliability/stability at the lighest possible weight. P-Tex 4500 Base ICE.OFF Topsheet - The unique surface structure and material composition reduces icing as the snow simply slides off the topsheet. This leads to a drastic reduction of weight in use, on average up to 20% to 30%. Lighter skis prevent fatigue, especially on long and steep uphill sections. Smart Skin Clip - 100% secure and custom-fit connection of skin to ski. Requires Vo;lkl skins.
