The Volkl Deacon 72 Master 22/23 is a carving ski designed for skiers who enjoy precise, agile turns on groomed slopes. At 173 cm, it balances stability at speed with nimble handling, making it well suited to intermediate and advanced riders seeking consistent performance on piste.
With a 15.4 meter turning radius, this ski responds quickly to edge changes, while its 125/72/103 mm sidecut offers a blend of smooth turn initiation and controlled exits. Fitted with the X Comp 16 GW binding, it delivers reliable power transmission and broad compatibility with GripWalk boot soles, helping maintain solid contact between boot and ski. Weighing 2 880 grams per ski, it feels responsive underfoot without being overly heavy, so long days in the hills stay comfortable.
A 15.4 meter turn radius indicates the ski’s preferred arc size: a smaller radius lets you carve shorter, tighter turns. The sidecut measurements (tip/waist/tail) define how the ski grips the snow—a deeper sidecut enhances carve precision, while modestly wider tip and tail widths boost edge hold and stability when you lean into a turn.
