The Volkl Deacon V-Werks skis with bindings is a ski that is taken from the existing Deacon 84 model and enhancing it with the use of Carbon fiber. Its shares the same shape, dimensions and rocker profile as the 84, but with a slightly different construction. Let's start with tailored carbon tip and tails, there is grid of carbon fiber to give the tip and tails of ski additional torsional strength. This is a precise all-mountain ski, leaning towards the front side a bit more. It's a very strong carver, and will respond well to fast, aggressive skiers who push this ski to preform to its limits. The skis really shine once the groomers get skied up and get choppy at the end of a ski day, where the ski knifes through anything and everything and lets you continue to carve all day long. This ski has a ton of responsiveness and energy, all due to the addition of the carbon, and a 3D Ridge radius sidecut. The carbon also makes this ski a bit more agile and responsive to take them off trail, with a lighter side cut and swing weight, the tip and tails are less catchy due to its tip and tail extended radii. The highlight and strength of this ski is its on trail carving performance. If you're the type of skier that values a precision and precise oriented ski, the Volkl Deacon V-Werks with system V-Werks bindings would be a great set up for you.
