The Vlkl Blaze 86 Skis are light, nimble and easy to lay into a turn - perhaps Vlkl's most user-friendly adult offering. On the other hand, they're still Vlkls, meaning the edgehold and integrity are still an integral part of the package. A great choice for the skier just moving beyond the rental realm and wanting a ski they won't outgrow in a season, the Blaze 86 will more than satisfy.

Product Details

Rocker Type

Tip & Tail Rocker–Bends up only in the shovel and tail zones, with a camber shape in the middle.

Sidecut

3D Radius Sidecut–Three radii in one ski shape deliver maximum versatility - long radii at the tip and tail for stability and smoothness, and a short radius in the mid-body allows the skier to switch from long arcs to short turns at will, at any speed.

Core

Hybrid Multilayer Woodcore–The extra-light hybrid multilayer wood core is a very complex core that is used in the Blaze. Light and very stable poplar and beech woods, individually weighed and selected by weight before gluing, are used in this wood core. In the tip-to-tail construction, the wood extends to the tip of the blade and end, giving them the sophisticated combination of good stability and low weight. In the center of the core, a CNC-milled Isocore area contributes to optimal liveliness and dynamic development. All in all, this design allows the stability of the ski to meet the high demands of a freeride ski, and this at a weight that is only slightly higher than that of a touring ski.

Laminates

Suspension Tips and Tails–Inserts made of elastic TPU material on the edges of the tip and tail which act like a bumper in wind-blown or tracked snow. Its shock-absorbing elasticity ensures better stability and catch-free float.

Sidewalls

Full Sidewall–Direct and strong power transmission with full length sidewalls.

Base

P-Tex 2100 Base
