About the Volkl Secret 96
Built for demanding freeride ladies who want to explore the limits under any conditions, the Secret 96 from Volkl is made for skiers who want a ski they can rely on all the way from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley – and which leaves them with enough left in the tank to party hard at the après ski.
The Secret 96 continues its formula of using a titanal frame and carbon tips to offer the balance between stability and manoeuvrability. Whilst the Secret is now more suited than it ever has been to intermediate skiers it is certainly not lacking in performance for advanced/expert skiers. To compensate for the lack of metal in the tip of the ski Volkl has added carbon tips that provide excellent levels of torsional stiffness without a large amount of added weight. These lightweight but stable tips allow you to ski hard and fast all over the mountain with Volkl's renowned edges allowing you to cut through firm conditions without a second thought.
One of the highlights of the Secret 96 is the 3-radius sidecut. Due to the geometry of the side cut and depending on the rider's speed the effective edge can become shorter for agile turns and longer for strong carves on fresh groomers. It enables the ski to be both stable and manoeuvrable, which is something a traditional titanal ski couldn't achieve.
Not only does the Secret excel in-bounds but it retains its ability to go anywhere with deep rocker lines providing good amounts of float and the moderate taper making it easy to initiate turns in soft, off-piste snow. This full-sidewall, directional charger is well suited to a variety of ability levels and is an excellent choice for skiers looking for one ski to do it all, with a slight focus more towards in-bounds skiing.
- Full Sidewall Construction - Vertical sidewalls provide excellent grip, precision, dampness and a smooth ride
- P-Tex 2100 - A sintered high-density and high molecular polyethylene base with great gliding characteristics and high durability
- Multi-layer Wood Core - Use of two woods for different areas of the ski. Beech is used underfoot to provide stability and secure screw retention. Poplar at either end provides resilience and snap
- 3D Radial Sidecut - Three radii in one ski shape for maximum versatility - long radii at the tip and tail for stability & smoothness, short radius in the mid-body allowing you to switch from long arcs to short turns easily at any speed
- Titanal Frame - A titanal frame provides excellent on edge power whilst keeping the ski lighter in areas where you don't need the power
- Tip/Tail Rocker - Bends up only in the shovel and tail zones, with a camber shape in the middle.
- Carbon Tips - Carbon is present in the tip to provide excellent stability and precision without the weight of metal
