The Volkl Racetiger GS is a men’s race ski designed for long, carved turns on groomed pistes. Its profile and construction aim to provide stability and precision at higher speeds, making it suited for skiers who enjoy pushing their technique on open, hard-packed snow.
At 178 cm, this ski features a 17.5 m radius that promotes smooth, sweeping arcs and a sidecut of 115/67/98 mm, which balances strong edge grip with agile turn initiation. The integrated Marker RMotion3 12 bindings offer a secure connection and consistent power transfer from boot to ski. Weighing in at around 3.1 kg per ski, the Racetiger GS delivers a planted, damp feel that helps you stay composed when the slope steepens.
The 17.5 m radius refers to the curvature of the ski’s edge—higher values suit longer turns—so this ski is tuned for broad, high-speed carving rather than quick short turns. Sidecut measurements (tip/waist/tail) describe the ski’s hourglass shape: the wider tip and tail with a narrower waist let the ski bite into the snow and release cleanly through each carve. The RMotion3 12 binding adds a stable platform underfoot, enhancing control when edging at speed.
