Völkl Racetiger RC Uvo review 2015
Best Accessibility/Performance!
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
The Völkl is a ski with character that’s extremely easy to use. The combination of these two qualities makes it a wonderful toy that’s full of energy and will give the skier hours of pleasure. A little jewel that we recommend for athletic skiers looking for a lively, playful tool.
Review: Pros
- An incisive, particularly responsive and playful ski
- Very fast initiation and edge change
- Especially good in short turns
- Good snow contact, fluidity in soft snow
- A remarkably easy, intuitive ski
Review: Cons
- The model tested was a bit short for long turns
- Less happy in skid turns
