Volkl's Rise touring skis are designed in such a way that they can be used in a similar way to piste skis despite the significant weight reduction. This is a great advantage, because you don’t have to make any major adjustments when descending off-piste and you can use your usual technique on the ski tour as well. The secret behind it is called the 3 radius concept, which enables easy turn initiation, controlled steering and sensational glide. Even alpine skiers instantly feel comfortable on the Rise-Touring Skis.
Touring skis are usually especially built light to save energy during the ascent. This generally also has an influence on the ski’s performance.
