The Völkl Peregrine 72 Black are sport-oriented skis designed primarily for dynamic skiing on groomed pistes, aimed at skiers who want to combine short and medium-long turns throughout the day and are looking for a precise, stable, yet sufficiently versatile model. With a 72 mm waist, they belong to a clearly piste-focused category, while their technical intended use of Piste-Groomers-Hard Snow confirms their focus on groomed and hard surfaces. Völkl highlights the ski’s ability to transition smoothly between different turn shapes while maintaining a dynamic sport character, from firm morning snow to increasingly mixed conditions later in the day.
At the heart of the construction is a Multilayer Woodcore made from 67% beech and 33% poplar, complemented by Full Titanal reinforcement and Full Sidewall ABS construction. Völkl associates the multilayer wood core with a combination of stability, energy, and reliable power transfer, while Full Titanal is intended to contribute to smoother damping and greater confidence at higher speeds. Full Sidewall ABS supports direct pressure transmission toward the edges. The result is a construction aimed at sport skiers who want precise response and stability during active ski control.
The 122-72-103 mm geometry is combined with 3D Radius Sidecut, a Tip & Tail Rocker profile, and Tailored Carbon Tips. For each ski length, the manufacturer provides three radius values corresponding to the 3D Radius Sidecut concept, allowing the ski to work with different types of turns. According to Völkl, the Tailored Carbon Tip sharpens the response of the shovel and supports direct, controlled turn initiation, while 3D.Glass increases torsional stiffness and contributes to livelier rebound when moving from edge to edge.
The Peregrine 72 Black are available in 158, 163, 168, 173, and 178 cm lengths and use the new integrated rMotion Toolless system, developed in cooperation with binding specialist MARKER. Völkl highlights power transfer, edge grip, and extremely quick adjustment without tools, which can also be practical for rental operations. The recommended binding is the RMOTION-T 12 BLACK (6877Z1.VB), and according to the product classification, the binding is included in the set. The construction is completed by a fast P-Tex 4504 base with Zebra Structure, Serial Finish, and further elements focused on dynamic carving performance.
Who are these skis designed for
The Völkl Peregrine 72 Black are designed for sport skiers who spend most of their time on groomed pistes and are looking for a precise, dynamic, and stable model for active carving. The product classification places them in the Sports category, while the technical intended use is stated as Piste-Groomers-Hard Snow. Their 72 mm waist, Full Titanal, wood core, and Full Sidewall ABS create a distinctly sport-oriented and piste-focused concept.
The model is particularly suitable for skiers who:
are looking for sport skis with a 72 mm waist
spend most of their time on groomed and hard pistes
want to dynamically alternate between short and medium-long turns
prefer a Multilayer Woodcore made from beech and poplar
want a construction with Full Titanal and Full Sidewall ABS
are looking for Tailored Carbon Tips for direct and controlled turn initiation
want to use 3D Radius Sidecut with multiple radii
prefer a sport construction with 3D.Glass and Tip & Tail Rocker
are looking for a complete system with rMotion Toolless and RMOTION-T 12 binding
The Peregrine 72 Black are not wide all-mountain skis focused on soft snow, nor are they freeride skis for deep powder. Although the product classification uses the general All Mountain/All Round designation, the Piste-Groomers-Hard Snow intended use, 72 mm waist, and overall construction clearly indicate a sport-oriented piste character. They make the most sense for skiers who want to actively work with their edges, vary turn lengths, and make use of the precision and stability of the construction on groomed surfaces.
How the skis behave on the piste
The 72 mm waist creates a narrow and clearly piste-oriented platform. The 122-72-103 mm geometry, combined with 3D Radius Sidecut, allows different types of turns to be linked together, and Völkl specifically highlights transitions between short and medium-long turns. The variability of the radii is one of the main construction characteristics of the Peregrine 72 Black and distinguishes them from skis built around a single conventional radius.
The Tailored Carbon Tip is intended to sharpen the response of the front of the ski and support direct, controlled turn initiation. According to the supplied information, 3D.Glass increases torsional stiffness and adds livelier rebound when transitioning from one edge to the other. In combination with Full Sidewall ABS, the construction is therefore focused on precise ski guidance and dynamic carving performance.
Full Titanal is intended to contribute to smoother damping and greater confidence at higher speeds, while the Multilayer Woodcore made from beech and poplar provides the foundation for stability, energy, and power transfer. The Peregrine 72 Black are therefore not built solely around easy handling, but primarily around a combination of precision, stability, and dynamics for sport skiing on hard and groomed surfaces.
How to read the specifications
Dimensions 122-72-103 mm
The Völkl Peregrine 72 Black have a geometry of 122-72-103 mm. The first value indicates the width of the tip, the second the width of the ski under the binding, and the third the width of the tail.
The 72 mm waist places the Peregrine 72 Black among narrow, clearly piste-focused sport skis. This width corresponds with their Piste-Groomers-Hard Snow intended use and supports a concept focused on active edge work and dynamic turn changes on groomed surfaces. It is not a width primarily intended for deep or significantly soft snow.
3D Radius Sidecut – three radii depending on length
The manufacturer specifies the following values:
158 cm – 16.8 m / 11.8 m / 14.2 m
163 cm – 18.1 m / 12.7 m / 15.2 m
168 cm – 19.4 m / 13.6 m / 16.2 m
173 cm – 20.7 m / 14.5 m / 17.3 m
178 cm – 22.2 m / 15.5 m / 18.4 m
Unlike models with a single nominal radius, Völkl provides three values for each Peregrine 72 Black length in connection with 3D Radius Sidecut technology. The construction is designed to work with different turn shapes and lengths, supporting a more versatile sport character.
In the supplied information, Völkl directly highlights the ski’s ability to transition between short and medium-long turns. The individual values gradually increase as ski length increases. However, the supplied information does not separately explain the exact position of each of the three listed radii within the ski geometry, so their specific individual functions should not be inferred further.
Lengths 158–178 cm
The Völkl Peregrine 72 Black are available in 158, 163, 168, 173, and 178 cm lengths. This range allows skiers to choose between shorter, more agile options and longer versions offering a larger platform depending on body parameters, technical level, and preferred skiing style.
When selecting the appropriate length, it is important to consider not only skier height but also body weight, technical level, preferred speed, and turn character. Given the sport-oriented nature of the model, choosing the correct length can have a significant influence on its overall skiing characteristics.
Weight by length
The manufacturer specifies:
163 cm – 3,140 g
168 cm – 3,200 g
173 cm – 3,260 g
178 cm – 3,320 g
No weight is stated in the supplied information for the 158 cm length. For the remaining lengths, the listed weight gradually increases with ski length.
The supplied data does not state the measurement methodology or explicitly clarify whether the values refer to a particular configuration with or without bindings. Although the model is supplied as a set with an integrated system and binding, this weight configuration should not be assumed without explicit confirmation from the manufacturer.
Technologies
Multilayer Woodcore – Beech 67% / Poplar 33%
The Peregrine 72 Black use a Multilayer Woodcore consisting of 67% beech and 33% poplar. Völkl also generally describes the Multilayer Woodcore construction as a combination of harder wood in the side areas and softer wood in the middle.
According to the manufacturer, this construction provides a combination of stability, energy, and reliable power transfer. Unlike models where the composition of the wood core is not specified, both the wood species and their percentage ratio are directly stated in the technical information for this model.
Full Titanal
The Peregrine 72 Black use Full Titanal reinforcement as one of the key elements of their sport-oriented construction.
Völkl associates Full Titanal with smoother damping and greater confidence when skiing at higher speeds. However, the exact thickness, number of layers, and detailed Titanal layout are not stated in the supplied information, so these construction parameters should not be added.
Tailored Carbon Tips
Tailored Carbon Tips, together with 3D Radius Sidecut, form one of the foundations of the agility and versatility of the Peregrine 72 Black. According to Völkl, the technology sharpens the response of the shovel and supports direct, controlled turn initiation.
The exact amount, orientation, and positioning of the carbon fibres are not specified in detail in the supplied information. The technology should therefore primarily be associated with the manufacturer-stated tip response, agility, and controlled entry into the turn.
3D.Glass
The Peregrine 72 Black use 3D.Glass, which Völkl associates in the supplied information with increased torsional stiffness and livelier rebound when transitioning from edge to edge.
This technology complements the wood core, Full Titanal, and other construction elements of the sport-oriented model. However, the exact orientation, quantity, and geometric arrangement of the 3D.Glass material are not stated.
Full Sidewall ABS
The Full Sidewall ABS construction of the Peregrine 72 Black is associated with direct pressure transfer toward the edges. It is one of the elements supporting the piste and carving-focused character of the model.
Full Sidewall ABS works together with the Multilayer Woodcore and the other reinforcements in the construction. The exact geometry and additional material parameters of the sidewalls are not specified in detail in the supplied information.
3D Radius Sidecut
3D Radius Sidecut is one of the main defining technologies of the Peregrine 72 Black. Völkl associates it with versatility and the ski’s ability to work with different turn shapes.
For this model, three radius values are also directly specified for each length. This corresponds with the ski’s focus on dynamically alternating between short and medium-long turns. However, the supplied information does not separately explain the exact function and position of each of the three radii.
Tip & Tail Rocker
The Peregrine 72 Black use a Tip & Tail Rocker profile, meaning rocker is present in both the tip and tail areas. This profile is combined with 3D Radius Sidecut and the 122-72-103 mm geometry.
The exact length and height of the rocker zones are not specified in the supplied information. Tip & Tail Rocker should therefore be presented as a confirmed part of the construction without adding specific dimensions or unsupported performance claims.
P-Tex 4504 and Zebra Structure
The base is listed in the technical specifications as P-Tex 4504 with Zebra Structure. In its introductory description, Völkl directly characterizes P-Tex 4504 as a fast base.
However, the exact material composition of P-Tex 4504 and the detailed geometric parameters of Zebra Structure are not stated in the supplied information. It is therefore not appropriate to add further specific characteristics that the manufacturer does not explicitly provide for this model.
Fully Structured
Fully Structured is also listed among the technologies of the Peregrine 72 Black. However, the supplied information does not provide a separate technical explanation of the specific implementation of this technology.
It should therefore be listed as a confirmed part of the specification without adding a specific structure, geometry, or other functional properties that are not described in the supplied information.
Serial Finish
Serial Finish is also included among the listed technologies. The supplied information does not provide a more detailed technical explanation of its specific factory implementation on this model.
Without further information, Serial Finish should therefore not be associated with specific edge angles or other factory service parameters that are not separately stated in the technical specifications of the Peregrine 72 Black.
rMotion Toolless
The Peregrine 72 Black use the new integrated rMotion Toolless system, which according to Völkl was developed in cooperation with binding specialist MARKER. The manufacturer highlights a new level of edge grip and power transmission in a system that allows adjustment without the use of tools.
The ability to make very quick adjustments without tools can be practical not only for regular use, but Völkl also explicitly mentions the system’s appeal for rental operations, where equipment settings often need to be changed between different users.
rMotion Toolless and RMOTION-T 12 BLACK
The Peregrine 72 Black use the Plate System: rMotion Toolless, and the recommended binding is the RMOTION-T 12 BLACK (6877Z1.VB). According to the product classification, the binding is included in the set.
The product classification also states “Binding up to 120 kg”. This figure is not a DIN value, and the actual safety binding setting must always correspond to the skier’s individual parameters, the ski boots being used, and technical level. Binding compatibility and correct adjustment should be checked by a professional ski service.

A sintered, ultra-high molecular polyethylene base with an extremely high density. Besides a great wear resistance and perfect wax absorption the P-Tex 4504 is extremely fast and exclusively used on our top of the line and race models. The material has been upgraded with special additives to make it thermal and electro-conductive and proves its qualities with premium glide and maximum speed in races.
ABS is a durable and resilient plastic known for its strength and impact resistance. It offers high resistance to shocks and impacts, making the ski more robust and long-lasting. These sidewalls allow for precise power transfer from the skier to the edges of the ski.
The titanium setup makes the ski agile and dynamic. Especially friends of a hard, fast and aggressive riding style benefit from the quick response of this construction.
From tip to tail, Fully Structured bases feature a continuous, high-traction pattern that amplifies speed, edge grip, and control. Designed for skiers who demand all-condition versatility with race-inspired responsiveness.
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: The hardwood part immediately adjacent to the sidewall effects a higher power transmission, improves the edge grip and supports the edge against external forces. The low weight of the softwood part in the middle of the ski brings more agility and maneuverability and reduces overall ski weight. The combination of both wood types running through the entire ski length contributes to an optimal distribution of the ski stiffness increasing the steering precision. It is the first and only sidewall/core technology intended for aggressive on-piste and racing use and capable of delivering the victory and defeat, even if it is measured in hundredths of seconds.
Straight from the factory to the mountain, Serial Finish ensures every ski is perfectly tuned for immediate performance. This precision-crafted surface treatment maximizes glide, sharpens turn initiation, and eliminates the need for additional prep work.
The carbon fibres applied using the Tailored Fibre Placement process (TFP for short) allow optimum control of cornering behaviour. The thickness and orientation of the fibres define the required force and energy build-up exactly where it is needed. 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. The stiffness, torsion and thus the skiing characteristics can be specifically adjusted via the fiber thickness and millimeter-precise alignment. In this way, the fibers guide the dynamics to the areas of the ski where they are needed. The visibly integrated Tailored Carbon Tips are light, allow an agile shovel reaction with less effort and quickly build up energy. The Tailored Carbon Tips thus reach a new level of precision, direct tip response and active skiing pleasure.
Engineered for ultimate on-piste precision, Zebra Structure features a deep, high-definition base pattern tailored to narrower, system-mounted skis. This aggressive structure delivers lightning-fast, reliable turn initiation and smooth, controlled drifting for maximum carving performance.
