VÖLKL Peregrine 78

The Völkl Peregrine 78 are sporty all-mountain skis for skiers looking for quick handling, agile response and a high degree of versatility without an unnecessarily demanding character. With a 78 mm waist, they are primarily focused on groomed slopes, but their construction also takes moguls, mixed snow and changing conditions throughout the day into account. Völkl describes them as fast, agile and eager to turn, with their greatest versatility coming through in mixed to compact snow conditions on moderate slopes.

One of the main changes in the new generation is the switch from the foam core of the previous model to a full 3D Multilayer Woodcore. According to Völkl, this change reduces weight, gives the ski additional pop and at the same time supports a sportier character and greater stability at higher speeds. The construction is complemented by Full Sidewall, Steel Band and 3D.Glass, which together form the technical foundation of a model designed for sporty yet versatile all-day skiing.

The 127-78-106 mm geometry is combined with 3D Radius Sidecut technology and a Tip & Tail Rocker profile. Depending on the ski length, the radius ranges from 11 to 15 metres, with Völkl particularly emphasising the agility of the redesigned Peregrine 78 and its ability to make short, crisp turns. Thanks to the relatively narrow 78 mm waist, the model remains primarily focused on quick edge-to-edge transitions and sporty piste performance, while its all-mountain concept extends its usability to less perfectly groomed surfaces.

The Peregrine 78 are available in 156, 163, 170 and 177 cm lengths and use an integrated Lowride System with the recommended Lowride 11 TCX anthracite binding. According to the supplied product classification, the binding is included in the set and the category specifies use up to 110 kg. Direct integration of the system into the wood core is intended to improve power transmission from the binding to the ski, while the low and lightweight system construction supports agility in tight turns. The result is a versatile sporty model for skiers who spend most of their time on the piste but do not want to be limited exclusively to perfectly firm and groomed snow.

Who are these skis designed for

The Völkl Peregrine 78 are designed for sporty skiers looking for agile and easy-to-control all-mountain skis with a strong piste-oriented character. The 78 mm waist, short to medium radii, 3D Radius Sidecut and Tip & Tail Rocker create a combination suitable for skiers who enjoy active changes of direction, shorter turns and all-day skiing in changing conditions.

The model is particularly suitable for skiers who:

are looking for sporty all-mountain skis with a 78 mm waist
spend most of their time on groomed slopes
prefer quick edge-to-edge transitions and agile handling
enjoy short and dynamic turns
want skis that can also handle moguls, mixed snow and softer conditions
are looking for a 3D Multilayer Woodcore instead of a foam core
want Full Sidewall construction with Steel Band and 3D.Glass
prefer 3D Radius Sidecut and Tip & Tail Rocker
want a complete set with an integrated Lowride System and Lowride 11 TCX binding

The Peregrine 78 are neither pure race-oriented carving skis nor wide freeride skis intended for deep powder. Their character sits between sporty piste skis and versatile all-mountain models. They make the most sense for skiers who want an active and lively feel on groomed slopes while also requiring greater tolerance of changing surfaces, moguls and deteriorating snow conditions throughout the day.

How the skis perform on the piste and in different conditions

The 78 mm waist keeps the Peregrine 78 relatively close to traditional sporty piste skis. The narrower platform supports quick edge-to-edge transitions and, combined with radii ranging from 11 to 15 m, corresponds well with the ski's focus on agile and active skiing. Völkl directly describes the model as fast, agile and eager to turn, with particular emphasis on its ability to make short, crisp turns.

The new 3D Multilayer Woodcore replaces the foam core used in the previous generation. Völkl associates this change with lower weight, additional pop, a sportier character and improved stability at higher speeds. The skis are therefore intended to combine manageable handling with sufficient sporty response for skiers who want to actively work the edges and vary their turn shape while skiing.

The all-mountain character extends the ski's usability beyond a perfectly groomed morning piste. The technical intended use of Groomers-Piste-Moguls-Mixed Snow confirms its focus on groomed slopes, moguls and mixed snow conditions. At the same time, the 78 mm waist clearly shows that the piste remains the main priority – the Peregrine 78 are not designed as wide skis for deep powder.

How to read the specifications

Dimensions 127-78-106 mm

The Völkl Peregrine 78 have a geometry of 127-78-106 mm. The first value represents the width of the tip, the second the width of the ski under the binding and the third the width of the tail.

The 78 mm waist creates a relatively narrow all-mountain platform with a strong piste orientation. Compared with wider all-mountain models, it supports quicker edge changes, while compared with narrowly specialised piste skis it provides a broader platform for changing conditions. The product classification therefore lists the model for both prepared and softer snow, while the technical intended use includes groomers, pistes, moguls and mixed snow.

Radius 11–15 m

The manufacturer specifies the following radii:

156 cm – 11.0 m
163 cm – 12.2 m
170 cm – 13.6 m
177 cm – 15.0 m

The radius gradually increases with ski length. The shorter versions therefore have distinctly short radii that support quick changes of direction, while the longest 177 cm version moves towards a medium turn shape with its 15 m radius.

At the same time, the Peregrine 78 use 3D Radius Sidecut, so the overall character of the ski cannot be described solely by one nominal radius figure. Völkl particularly associates this technology in the new generation with high agility and the ability to work effectively with short, precise turns.

Lengths 156–177 cm

The Völkl Peregrine 78 are available in 156, 163, 170 and 177 cm lengths. The broad range makes it possible to select a suitable version according to the skier's height, weight, technical level and preferred skiing style.

The shorter versions, thanks to the combination of reduced length and shorter radius, place greater emphasis on easy changes of direction and short turns. The longer versions provide a larger platform and are better suited to skiers looking for calmer behaviour at higher speeds. When choosing a length, it is important to consider not only height but also skier weight and technical ability.

Weight by length

The manufacturer lists the following values in the technical specifications:

163 cm – 2,730 g
170 cm – 2,830 g
177 cm – 2,910 g
156 cm – value not specified in the supplied information

The supplied technical information does not specify the measurement methodology or whether the listed figures refer to one ski, a pair of skis or a particular configuration with the integrated system. The values should therefore not be interpreted as the net weight of one individual ski without further clarification.

Völkl does, however, explicitly state that switching from the foam core of the previous generation to the new Multilayer Woodcore contributes to reducing the model's weight. The exact weight difference compared with the previous generation is not specified in the supplied information.

Technologies

3D Multilayer Woodcore

The new generation of the Peregrine 78 uses a 3D Multilayer Woodcore, replacing the foam core of the previous model. Völkl associates this change with lower weight, additional pop, a sportier character and greater stability when skiing at higher speeds.

Völkl also describes the switch to a full wood core as a significant step towards greater sustainability. The exact wood species and arrangement of the individual layers are not specified in the supplied information, so a more detailed material composition should not be added.

3D Radius Sidecut

3D Radius Sidecut technology works with multiple radii within the ski's sidecut and is one of the key elements influencing the character of the Peregrine 78.

For this model, Völkl particularly associates 3D Radius Sidecut with pronounced agility and the ski's ability to work with short, crisp turns. Combined with the relatively narrow 78 mm waist, it supports the sporty and active character of the ski on groomed slopes.

Tip & Tail Rocker

The Peregrine 78 use a Tip & Tail Rocker profile, meaning rocker is incorporated in both the tip and tail areas. This profile complements the 127-78-106 mm geometry and 3D Radius Sidecut technology.

Tip & Tail Rocker forms part of the overall all-mountain concept of a model intended for groomers, pistes, moguls and mixed snow conditions. The exact height or length of the rocker zones is not specified in the supplied technical information.

Full Sidewall ABS

The model uses Full Sidewall ABS construction. The sidewalls form part of the Peregrine 78 construction together with the wood core, Steel Band and 3D.Glass.

The supplied information does not specify the detailed geometry or exact material arrangement of the Full Sidewall ABS construction on this particular model. Additional specific characteristics that are not confirmed by the manufacturer in the provided data should therefore not be added.

Steel Band

The Peregrine 78 feature a Steel Band as one of their reinforcement elements. It is listed in the technical specifications together with 3D.Glass.

The exact thickness, position and geometry of the Steel Band are not specified in the supplied information. It is therefore appropriate to describe it as part of the ski's reinforcement structure without adding specific characteristics that Völkl does not explicitly state for this model.

3D.Glass

The Peregrine 78 also use 3D.Glass, which is listed in the technical description among the model's reinforcement elements together with the Steel Band.

The supplied information does not provide more detailed data regarding the exact arrangement, quantity or function of 3D.Glass in this particular model. It can therefore safely be presented as part of the Peregrine 78 construction without adding further unsupported technical claims.

Base P-Tex 2100 and Zebra Structure

The model's technology list includes Base P-Tex 2100, while the technical description specifies the base as Zebra Structure. Both details are included in the supplied technical information for the Peregrine 78.

More detailed characteristics of the P-Tex 2100 material and the exact geometry or functional parameters of the Zebra Structure are not specified in the provided information. Specific claims regarding base speed, durability or structure beyond the confirmed technology names should therefore not be added.

Serial Finish

Serial Finish is also listed among the technologies used in the Peregrine 78. However, the supplied information does not provide a more detailed explanation of the specific implementation of this technology on this model.

Serial Finish should therefore be presented as part of the ski's technical specification without adding specific information regarding edge angles, structure or factory tuning that is not specified in the supplied data.

Lowride System

The Peregrine 78 use the Lowride System, a wide, lightweight and low-positioned integrated binding system. According to Völkl, this construction further improves the ski's agility in tight turns. The TCX heel unit is also designed to reduce the effort required when stepping into the binding.

The system is identical in construction to the solution used on the larger Peregrine 80 and 82 models and, according to Völkl, is used for the first time on a ski under 80 mm wide with the Peregrine 78. Direct integration into the wood core is also intended to improve power transmission from the binding to the ski.

Integrated Railsystem and Lowride 11 TCX

The Peregrine 78 are equipped with an Integrated Railsystem and the recommended Lowride 11 TCX anthracite (6735A1.VA) binding. According to the supplied product classification, the binding is included in the set.

The product classification also lists the category “Binding up to 110 kg”. The actual safety binding settings must always correspond to the individual skier's parameters, ski boots and technical level and should be adjusted by a professional ski service.

Why choose the VÖLKL Peregrine 78?

The Völkl Peregrine 78 are an attractive choice for skiers looking for sporty, agile and versatile all-mountain skis with a strong focus on groomed slopes. The 78 mm waist, 127-78-106 mm geometry, 11–15 m radii, 3D Radius Sidecut and Tip & Tail Rocker create a combination focused on quick changes of direction, short to medium turns and all-day skiing in different conditions.

The new 3D Multilayer Woodcore, Full Sidewall ABS, Steel Band, 3D.Glass and integrated Lowride System with Lowride 11 TCX binding complete a construction designed to combine low weight, sportier response and stability with comfort and versatility. The Peregrine 78 make the most sense for sporty skiers who want quick and playful skis for groomed slopes while also needing a model capable of handling moguls, chopped-up pistes and changing snow conditions throughout the day.

Full Sidewall ABS

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.
Serial Finish

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.
Steel Band

A steel band in the ski provides very good durability, controlled flex and smooth skiing in faster speeds.
Zebra Structure

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.
3D Multilayer Woodcore

By combining different wood species and different wood constructions, an ideal balance of weight, strength, durability and damping is achieved. Stronger, heavier wood is positioned where power transmission, edge grip and torsional stability are required; lighter, softer wood is applied in less stressed zones to reduce weight and enhance smoothness.
