The Volkl Racetiger SC Black 22/23 is a carving ski built for precise, short-radius turns on groomed slopes. At 165 cm long, it’s aimed at skiers who like to stay on piste and focus on quick edge changes without venturing off into deep snow or park features.
This ski features a 13-meter turn radius and a sidecut measuring 123-70-103 at 165 cm, giving it lively edge-to-edge response and solid grip when you put it on edge. The vMotion 12 GW binding is mounted to match the ski’s flex pattern, helping you transfer power efficiently from boot to ski while enjoying compatibility with modern GripWalk soles. Weighing around 2.94 kg per ski, it balances stability at speed with a manageable swing weight for repeated short turns.
Turn radius refers to the curve the ski makes when tilted on edge—at 13 meters you can carve tighter arcs with minimal skidding. The sidecut numbers (tip-waist-tail) describe how the ski’s width changes along its length: a narrower waist (70 mm) between wider tip (123 mm) and tail (103 mm) helps the ski bite into the snow when you lean into a turn, giving predictable hold and smooth exit throughout the arc.
