Newschoolers' Review: The Bash 116 is a tricky one to review. It's versatile, it handles pow and trees well, carves pretty effectively, is solid enough to charge, balanced enough to jib and generally does a good job of everything. But, as Volkls often do, they feel a little heavy and damp. And for that reason…
Characteristics: Surfy, Floaty, Stable Manufacturer's Description: Völkl’s first women‘s powder surf ski with Taper shaped sidecut, full sidewall, carbon stringers and Full Rocker design, the Bash 116 W only weighs 2150 g @ 176 and is a favorite amongst women wanting an easy, drifty powder sk…
Member Review: The flex of the ski is great. The tip and tail are softer which allowed for a easier turn initiation while under foot the ski is solid. This meant that when you come out of a big cliff you wouldn't wheelie out or get bucked back seat. When I say the tip and tail are softer I mean they are soft for…
Newschoolers' Review: The flex is much softer than the Revolt 87 and I was finding I was struggling to hold an edge on the harder snow at speed. These skis would be really fun in the park for jibs. The softer flex made it really easy to get up on the tip and tail and the symmetrical shape made switch riding very …
Characteristics: Poppy, Precise, Playful Manufacturer's Description: For girls looking to master their moves in the Pipe and Park while also having the versatility of a fun all mountain ski, the symmetrically shaped Transfer 85 W supersedes the Pyra, featuring tip and tail rocker along with a new 112-85-112 m…
Newschoolers' Review: One of the best skiing park skis I have ever been on. Cuts turns like crazy, amazing edge grip, a ton of power in the tips and tails. I took my first pipe run of the year on the fresh cut at Copper and I felt like I could have boosted sky high. The Revolt 87 (same as the Wall) also skis sw…
Newschoolers' Review: Definitely on the other end of the spectrum from the 87. Much more rocker, definitely softer, and meant for jibbing. They were a little squirrely skiing fast and skiing switch. Spinning around and playing around all over the mountain is a blast. I would say the 95 is more of a quiver ski…
Characteristics: Lightweight, Cheap, Undemanding, Grippy Manufacturer's Description: For the young skier who wants a rock-solid twin tip that can conquer the park as well as ski the whole mountain, the Transfer 81 has a directional shape of 111-81-104 mm. This value-packed ride features our Powershell construct…
Characteristics: Playful, Maneuverable Manufacturer's Description: The Transfer 85 is the perfect park and pipe ski for intermediate and advanced riders. It is slightly comparable to the 89 version, but truly symmetrical shape with 112-85-112mm. It also comes with Multi-Layer wood core and full vertical sidewal…
Newschoolers' Review The Transfer is a directional ski and is also the widest Volkl jib ski other than the Revolt 95. The flex felt similar to the Step but the tail felt slightly stiffer. I like a directional ski and I found I could handle the softer flex better on the Revolt 85. They were easier to carve too and …
