Volkl ski sets

Which Völkl ski pack should you choose for your style of skiing?

Go for Peregrine or Racetiger for piste skiing, Shine for the women’s piste range, Mantra or Blaze to switch between piste and off-piste, and Revolt if your priority is freestyle or backcountry. The binding choice follows the same logic: the piste ranges often use vMotion, rMotion or Lowride systems, while Mantra, Blaze and Revolt more often come with several binding options.

Integrated binding or binding of your choice: two types of Völkl packs

How do packs with an integrated interface work?

On many piste skis, the interface is already part of the ski design: vMotion, rMotion or Lowride depending on the model. The binding is then selected from the family compatible with that interface. This is the case on several Peregrine, Racetiger and Shine models.

How do packs with a binding of your choice work?

On Mantra, Revolt and several Blaze models, the logic is different: the ski is fitted with an independent alpine binding and several options may be offered. This allows the pack to be tailored more closely to the skier’s level and commitment, while the brake width is chosen according to the ski’s waist width.

Völkl Mantra ski range: from all-mountain to freeride

Völkl Mantra packs are aimed at advanced to expert skiers who want to alternate between piste and off-piste, with a freeride orientation that increases as the ski gets wider. The Mantra skis by Völkl therefore cover several levels of versatility.

Which Mantra should you choose?

The Mantra 84 remains the closest to a sporty piste skiing style: its 84 mm waist makes edge-to-edge transitions easier while still letting you make the most of piste edges. The Mantra 88 strikes a better balance between groomed snow and softer snow. With its 96 mm waist, the M7 Mantra is more clearly oriented towards off-piste skiing, while the Mantra 102 is squarely aimed at freeride and offers more float in powder.

The Mantra family shares a precise, stable character, but the feel changes according to construction and width. Wood core, carbon reinforcements and titanal are used on several models to maintain composure as the pace picks up. The pack choice therefore mainly depends on how much importance you want to give piste skiing compared with off-piste terrain.

Which bindings are offered on Völkl Mantra packs?

On these skis without an imposed piste system, the binding becomes a key part of the pack choice. The M7 Mantra, for example, is offered with several binding levels depending on availability. The same applies to the Mantra 88, with a brake sized to suit its 88 mm waist. A skier can therefore choose the Mantra that matches their terrain, then a binding that suits their level of commitment.

Völkl Peregrine packs for piste skiing

Völkl Peregrine packs cover piste skiing from accessible recreational models to more precise skis designed for carving and a sporty turn shape. This is the range to look at first if you spend most of your time on groomed runs.

Which Peregrine should you choose?

The Peregrine XT and MT prioritise easy handling and allow beginner to intermediate skiers to progress without moving onto a ski that is too demanding. The Peregrine 72 and 76 are more direct and precise, with compact waist widths that favour quick edge changes. The Peregrine 80 and 82 remain strongly piste-oriented while gaining versatility when the snow becomes softer or more variable.

Which bindings are fitted to Völkl Peregrine packs?

The range stands out for its integrated binding systems: vMotion on some more accessible models, rMotion on more performance-oriented versions, and Lowride on some wider Peregrine skis. For example, a Peregrine 80 Lowride is paired with a Lowride XL 13 FR Demo GW, while versions marked vMotion or rMotion use the corresponding systems. You therefore choose not only a ski width or performance level, but also a binding system, from an accessible piste set-up to a more performance-led interface.

Völkl Racetiger ski range

Völkl Racetiger packs are designed for skiers who prioritise sporty piste skiing, carving and precise control. The range is mainly distinguished by the type of turn they are built for.

Which Racetiger should you choose?

The Racetiger GS is built for big turns and stability at speed. The SL instead favours short turns and very fast edge-to-edge transitions. The SC takes that short-turn focus and makes it more accessible, while the RC allows you to vary turn radius more freely while retaining a sporty character. The MC versions complete the range for skiers looking for strong performance without necessarily wanting the most demanding behaviour.

Depending on the model, Völkl uses wood core, titanal, 3D Glass and Tailored Carbon Tips to improve grip, stability and responsiveness. The Racetiger range therefore lets you choose the feel you want, whether that is big arcs, short turns or a more versatile performance.

Which bindings are fitted to Völkl Racetiger packs?

rMotion-T versions, notably on current GS and SL models, use an interface designed for the most sporty skis. vMotion models take a more adaptable approach: some Racetiger packs offer several compatible bindings, for example vMotion 10, 11 or 12. This means you can keep the same ski while selecting a binding that better matches the skier’s level and the loads generated.

Völkl women’s Shine ski packs

Völkl Shine packs are aimed at women skiers looking primarily for a piste ski, with models ranging from recreational progression to more sporty skiing. The range therefore lets you choose according to your level rather than simply on the basis of width.

Which Völkl Shine should you choose?

The Shine 76 prioritises ease of use and supports beginner to intermediate women skiers as they improve on groomed snow. The Shine 78 adds more response while remaining easy to handle. The Shine SC is intended for women skiers who already have a strong technical level and want more precision and liveliness in shorter turns.

The level of demand, construction and radius vary from one model to another. That means you can choose a Völkl women’s pack that is genuinely suited to your ability and the way you like to ski on piste.

Which bindings are fitted to Völkl Shine packs?

The binding systems follow this progression, with vMotion or Lowride solutions depending on the model. On the currently available Shine SC, for example, the pack uses a Völkl vMotion 11 TCX Lady. The Shine 78 Lowride, meanwhile, is based on the Lowride concept. Choosing a Shine pack is therefore about both the ski’s performance level and the ski + binding system that goes with it.

Völkl Revolt: freestyle to backcountry packs

Völkl Revolt packs are the ones to choose for freestyle, switch skiing and backcountry, with a more pronounced powder focus as the waist gets wider. The whole range keeps a playful feel and a construction suited to creative terrain skiing.

Which Revolt should you choose?

The narrower Revolts, such as the 81, 84, 86 or 90 depending on the collections available, are mainly aimed at freestyle and the snowpark. They remain easy to manoeuvre and are well suited to rails, jumps, presses and switch runs. The Revolt 96 gains versatility and makes it easier to move from the park to piste edges and softer snow.

The Revolt 101 and 104 shift the programme further towards backcountry freestyle, with more support away from the pistes. The Revolt 112 and 114 are clearly aimed at powder days, natural lines and landings in deep snow. Their twin-tip shape still allows you to ski switch and use the terrain with a freestyle approach.

Which bindings are offered on Völkl Revolt packs?

Unlike many Völkl piste skis, Revolt models generally let you choose between several alpine bindings. Depending on the packs offered, you can opt for a lighter binding suited to moderate use or a more robust version intended for more committed skiing. The brake width is also matched to the ski width. That way you choose a coherent set-up for your style, without unnecessarily over-specifying the binding.

Völkl Blaze range: lightweight all-mountain packs to freeride

Völkl Blaze packs prioritise lightness and manoeuvrability so you can move between piste, off-piste edges and freeride depending on the width you choose. They are an interesting alternative to the Mantra for skiers who want something less substantial and easier to swing from edge to edge.

Which Völkl Blaze should you choose?

The Blaze 86 stays close to an all-mountain, piste-leaning style, with enough width to enjoy changing snow conditions and piste edges. The Blaze 94 offers a more pronounced balance between piste and off-piste. From the Blaze 104 upwards, the range moves more clearly towards freeride, with more support in powder and on broken terrain.

The construction also varies depending on the model. The Blaze 86 notably uses a lightweight wood core and Suspension Tip & Tail technology without titanal reinforcement through the whole structure. The current Blaze 94 and 104 use a different build, including a Titanal platform under the binding area and a Green Core. Width therefore gives an initial indication of the intended use, but it does not fully define how each Blaze feels on snow.

Which bindings are offered on Völkl Blaze packs?

The range includes both binding approaches. For example, the offering includes a Blaze 82 Teal vMotion, designed directly around that interface. On Blaze skis sold without an imposed system, several bindings may be offered so the pack can be put together according to the skier’s level and the ski width.

Which Völkl packs should you choose for a child?

Völkl junior packs combine more accessible skis with bindings suited to lighter skiers. For a child learning on piste, this consistency between ski, interface and binding is more relevant than choosing an adult binding separately.

Which junior Völkl skis should you choose?

The Racetiger Jr Yellow is designed as an introductory piste model, while the Mantra Jr allows more independent young skiers to move towards a more all-mountain programme.

Which bindings are fitted to Völkl junior packs?

The Racetiger Jr Yellow vMotion is offered with a vMotion Jr system adapted to the ski’s lightweight construction and to young skiers. Junior packs therefore maintain coherence between the skier’s build, the ski and the binding, rather than simply borrowing a solution intended for adults.

Why buy a Völkl ski pack with bindings?

Buying a Völkl ski pack with bindings means you can choose a compatible set-up matched to your programme straight away, while benefiting from complimentary binding fitting. On skis with an integrated interface, the vMotion, rMotion or Lowride system determines the compatible binding family. On skis such as the Mantra or Revolt, several bindings can instead be offered to tailor the mounting more closely to the skier’s level and style.

How are the bindings in the pack chosen and adjusted?

The binding choice does not depend on the ski alone. The skier’s level, build and way of skiing all play a role in setting the release value. When you place your order, the information requested allows the Glisshop workshop to mount and adjust the bindings. If you do not yet have your ski boots, a pre-mounting can be carried out before the final adjustment.

The choice can therefore be made quickly: Peregrine and Racetiger for piste skiing, Shine for women skiers, Mantra and Blaze to alternate between piste and off-piste, Revolt for freestyle and backcountry, and junior models to support young skiers’ progression with suitable bindings.
