The ski in details
Völkl's Rise 88 heralds the era of a new touring ski line since 20/21.
During the development phase, the focus was on achieving a combination of light weight, efficient and flexible handling during ascent as well as reliable downhill performance with high radius variability. The Rise Above 88 set new standards in terms of dynamic development and radius variability thanks to the 3D radius sidecut.
