Völkl Rise High 88 is a superlight carbon ski for the experienced touring skier. What matters to you? Weight? Uphill performance? Riding qualities? Performance in less ideal conditions? All of it? Well then, here is your ski.

The Völkl Rise High 88 is an all-carbon touring ski with a fantastic weight-performance ratio. Even though it weighs only 1090 g (@170), it offers great durability and provides confidence in the performance in high and difficult terrain.

In addition to the Full Carbon jacket the 88 also features the new Smart Skinclip adjustment system which is available with the new Fibre Tech and Smart Glue skins.

Features:
• Cap Sidewall
• Full Carbon Jacket
• Smart Skinclip
• Base: P-Tex 2100
• Tourlite Woodcore

Technology

3D.Ridge
Central Woodcore Ridge with superslim wings to significantly reduce weight and swing weight and keep the stability where necessary. The 3D.Ridge technology - is probably the most extreme and effective construction technique that currently exists. It has become a symbol of VÖLKL lightweight construction. The distinctive characteristic of this technology is a raised central ridge that sharply levels out towards the edges, both in front of and behind the binding. This reduces the inertial mass around the fulcrum to a minimum and significantly enhances the agility of the ski. At the same time, the center ridge allows for a precise dimensioning of the hardness distribution, which leads to an especially harmonious flex on the ski. Despite the weight savings, the 3D.Ridge ensures that there are no compromises in the ski‘s durability and elasticity.

Hybrid Multilayer Woodcore
The extra-light hybrid multilayer wood core is a very complex core that is used here. 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.

Tip Rocker
Character: Only bends upwards in the shovel area, while the middle and tail of the ski feature a camber shape.
