it's worth it!
The Rise Above 88 W is a women's freerando ski from Völkl that represents an ideal compromise between lightness and stability to have as much fun on the way up as on the way down.
Designed with a Hybrid Multilayer Woodcore core made of light-weight poplar and paulownia wood, this ski is perfect for ascents, with good maneuverability in difficult and narrow passages. On the descent, the rocker in the spatula offers an extraordinary flotation and its flat tail brings rigidity to be stable at high speed.
The 3D Radius Sidecut design allows the Rise Above 88 W to perform well in large turns while being very manoeuvrable in short, narrow passages. It also features Smart Skinclip technology, which makes it easier and faster to apply the skins so you can save time and energy on your climbs.
- P-Tex 2100 sintered polyethylene base offers ideal strength and glide
- Tip Rocker with traditional camber at the waist
- Hybrid multi-layer core Woodcore (poplar and paulownia)
- Marker Alpinist bindings recommended
Side cuts: 130.6 - 88 - 111.4 mm
Weight: 2374g in 170cm
Turn radius 3D RADIUS:
The use of the long radius in the tip and tail for large high speed turns provides excellent manoeuvrability and easy turn clearance. The use of the shorter radius for short, medium-speed turns provides agility and easier corner entry for smoother short turns.
| Ski length | R1 (tip) | R2 (waist) | R3 (tail) |
| 156cm | 20 m | 12 m | 17 m |
| 163cm | 22 m | 14 m | 19 m |
| 170cm | 25 m | 15 m | 22 m |
| 177cm | 28 m | 17 m | 23 m |
| 184cm | 31 m | 18 m | 25 m |
Smart Skinclip:
This system allows the skier to decide, depending on the situation, which direction to put on and remove the skin. A standard carabiner at the rear end of the ski allows the skin to be attached and detached from the rear. The skin can also be applied and removed quickly and easily from the front. The spring carabiner is easy to use with gloves. A slight indent in the tip of the ski gives the hook lateral guidance and prevents it from unintentionally releasing the skin while walking.
Le Rise Above 88 W est un ski idéal pour les randonneurs intermédiaires à confirmés qui recherchent un ski polyvalent leur permettant de prendre autant de plaisir à la montée qu'à la descente. C'est un ski très maniable et très facile à prendre en main avec lequel on prend vite confiance. Le Rise Above 88 W ne vous fera pas défaut et vous permettra d'être à l'aise dans toutes les conditions.
Les Plus : Léger, excellent rapport montée/plaisir à la descente, maniabilité.
Les Moins : Portance en neige profonde.
