The Blaze 114 is as versatile as its field of application. It is also produced in an environmentally friendly way. Völkl uses a recycled base and FSC-certified wood in combination with Green Core technology.

The Isocore inside the wood core is made from recycled PET bottles instead of conventional PU foam. In terms of riding performance, the Blaze 114 is predestined for off-piste adventures. Thanks to its efficient weight/performance ratio, it is also well suited as a freeride touring ski. It really comes to life on the descent. The tight 18 m radius in relation to the ski length of 192 cm ensures unprecedented maneuverability in this category. This is supported by an open radius at the tip and tail in combination with tip & tail rocker.

The 3D Radius Sidecut in the middle of the ski has been fitted with a 0.3 mm thin Titanal plate directly above the sidewall to ensure smooth running at high speeds. This allows the ski to be steered very precisely. These handling characteristics also work very well for occasional piste skiing! In order to keep the all-mountain ski agile, no Titanal is used in the outer area at the front and rear. The Blaze is designed with increasing flex in relation to the ski length, so that taller or heavier skiers benefit from the same handling characteristics as shorter or lighter skiers with shorter ski lengths.

Technology

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

Titanal Binding Platform
A thin Titanal layer (0,3 mm) under the binding delivers the necessary strength to the ski. This way the binding screws offer reliable hold even in the toughest conditions.

Full Sidewall
Direct and strong powertransmission with full length sidewalls.

Suspension Tips & 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.

3D Radius Sidecut
Three radii in one ski for maximum TURNING & SPEED VERSATILITY IN ALL MOUNTAIN SKIING. Usage of long radii at tip and tail for big turns and high speed. Usage of shorter radius in the center for short turns and lower speed.

Base P-Tex 2100
A sintered high-density and high molecular polyethylene base with great gliding characteristics and high durability

Green Core:
• All GreenCore woods are FSC certified
• Environmentally friendly glue
• Foam: recycled PET

Multilayer Woodcore
The side wall is laminated to extremely stable layers of wood on the sides of the sandwich core. In combination with a more flexible, lighter wood built into the center of the sandwich core construction provides numerous advantages: The hardwood part immediately adjacent to the sidewall effects a higher power transmission, improves the edge grip and supports the edge against external forces. The low weight of the softwood part in the middle of the ski brings more agility and maneuverability and reduces overall ski weight. The combination of both wood types running through the entire ski length contributes to an optimal distribution of the ski stiffness increasing the steering precision. It is the first and only sidewall/core technology intended for aggressive on-piste and racing use and capable of delivering the victory and defeat, even if it is measured in hundredths of seconds.
