Kendo 88 (2024)

The Völkl Kendo 88 is an all-mountain freerider ski with a state-of-the-art build that can be used for so many different things by experienced skiers who relish powerful turns on any terrain and on any piste.

Like the new Mantra and Kenja, the Kendo 88 comes with revised geometry and a one metre shorter centre radius in its 3D Radius Sidecut. The key is that the three different radii combined in one ski make for enormously versatile cornering. The new 16 m radius in the middle further increases its radius variability. Thrills await if you love tight turns cut fully on the edge.

The Kendo 88 encourages a sporty, intuitive style on groomed slopes, but also provides the maneuverability you need to get through challenging terrain. Less force is required too, thanks to a shorter centre radius. 

Features:

• Multilayer Woodcore - The side wall is laminated to extremely stable layers of wood on the sides of the sandwich core. In combination with a more flexible, lighter wood built into the center of the sandwich core construction provides numerous advantages.
• Full Sidewall - Direct and strong powertransmission with full length sidewalls.
  
• Tip & Tail Rocker - Character: Bends up only in the shovel and tail zones, with a camber shape in the middle.
• Tailored Titanal Frame - In contrast to the previous design, the width of the titanal frame is now adapted exactly to each individual ski length. This results in Tailored Titanal Frames, which are positioned above the sidewall alog the tip and tail area of the ski to provide the desired damping and torsional stiffness.
• Tailored Carbon Tips- In this innovative manufacturing process the new Tailored Carbon Tips are produced by embroidering the individual carbon fibers onto a carrier material. This allows them to be positioned exactly along the stress lines, opening up completely new possibilities, for performance at the front of the ski, which has a decisive influence on the handling of the ski.
