New Prod 4 got a complete redesign, thicker edges, different sidecut, more tip and less tail rocker and a new wood core
Volkl Blaze 106, supposedly the spiritual successor to the OG Metal Katana. Volkl’s ‘21 lineup is confusing me at the moment. Kendo 92, Blaze 94, Revolt 95, M5 Mantra 96, Mantra 102, Revolt 104, Blaze 106, V-Werks Katana 110. Seems hyper saturated. Revolts and Mantras are obviously very different but I’m interested to see where the Blaze comes in. Potentially, Woodsman or Enforcer Free “tweener” type skis; tip and some tail rocker with semi-progressive mount ~-6. First year in a while that Volkl has me intrigued. Can’t wait for samples to start rolling into the shop.

Blaze is their light, touring line. So Kendo, Mantra line for the metal, directional chargers(108 Mantra coming out which would be the “new Katana” you’re talking about I bet), Revolt for their twin tip freestyle range and Blaze for their light weight touring range.

The word katana better never be referenced by volkl unless it's full rocker.

Not sure if they end up calling it Mantra 108 or Katana 108 but it has the same build as the Mantra 102 and M5 which has camber. It should definitely haul whatever they call it!
From TGR post-
OK, here's the latest, straight out of the catalog
Katana 108 dimensions 146-108-129. Come in 170, 177, 184, 191. Stated radius on the 184 R1-34m, R2-19m, R3-39m. Rocker profile looks to be similar to M5 and 102. No weight listed but apparently not a featherweight.
And the new "BLAZE" 106 dimensions 146-106-128. Come in 165, 172, 179, 186. Stated radius on the 186 R1-30m, R2-19m, R3-40m. Tip and tail rocker. 186 listed at 1,772 grams.
Oh dear lord no. I love my Kryps but this is just silly.
Not a fan of bright ass green either, but glad my pair is only from last season, hopefully they’ll be on to the next color by the time I’m due for a new pair.
It’s just the “park” version. The regular were just black I think.

I have the Sakanas and love them. Still looking for a good hard pack ski. Have the Brahmas but am not crazy about them. This might be the perfect ski for me. fingers crossed to get some more info.
