Volkl Men's Tigershark 11 Foot Power Switch Skis w/ iPT Speed Ride 12.0 TS D Bindings
If a ski could be a turbo-charged all-wheel drive luxury ride, no other ski could personify these characteristics better than Volkl's Tigershark 11-Foot Power Switch with iPT Sped Ride 12.0 TS Diagonal binding. Beside having the longest product name of the season, the Tigershark 11-Foot Power Switch offers near-overkill refinements with Volkl's new Power Switch Technology. Volkl Power Switches allow you to fine-tune your ski performance to your own personal energy level. If you want to cruise, turn the Power Switch to the cruise setting and the titanium rods inside the ski will maintain a loose flex that flows along with the terrain. When you're ready to rip, crank the Power Switch to the Dynamic or Power settings and the internal rods inside the Tigershark 11-Foot Power Switch ski will compress tightly against internal springs, creating a rigid and energetic performance platform for carving. In a way, the Power Switch gives you a quiver of three on one perfect all-terrain platform, but the 75-mm. width is ideal for carving on groomed and hardpack snow. Like previous Tigershark incarnations, this year's TigerShark 11-Foot Power Switch is a highly responsive expert ski for guys who want a powerful, GS-quality platform without all the FIS restrictions. It features a lightweight titanium construction for added rigidity without excess ounces. There's also a tip-to-tail Sensorwood core and wood sidewalls for flex. Unlike some ski manufacturers who contract core work to third party companies, Volkl produces their own wood core to optimize quality and consistency in design with CNC precision. The TigerShark 11-Foot also features Volkl's Extended Double Grip technology, a double-height construction above the ski edge that enhances skier support and grip through varying high-speed turn arcs. This season Volkl paired their Tigershark 11-Foot Power Switch with Marker's high-end iPT Speed Ride 12.0 TS D binding. This integrated ski/binding combination offers a wider interface area (that's the binding plate) than previous years when the Tigersharks were paired with the original iPT designs, which means you enjoy an added measure of response and improved performance. Up front the iPT Speed Ride 12.0 TS D has a new Triple Pivot Comfort Toe that's shorter and lighter than previous iPT bindings. In the back you'll find a lighter Marker Inter-Pivot heel that helps transmit more leg power to your edges without wasting energy. If you like to ski all areas of the mountain in equal measure and you want the best in new technological innovation, the Volkl Tigershark 11-Foot Power Switch with iPT Sped Ride 12.0 TS Diagonal binding is one of the best skis you can buy this season.
