The Völkl Racetiger SL is a high-performance slalom ski inspired by World Cup racing, designed for experienced skiers who demand maximum precision, lightning-fast edge changes, and dynamic carving performance on perfectly groomed slopes. It incorporates technologies derived from Völkl's top race models while offering a more versatile and accessible ride than a pure race ski.
At its core is the innovative Tailored Torsion Woodcore, built from 33% poplar and 67% beech wood. This combination delivers an ideal balance of torsional rigidity, lively energy, and progressive flex. The construction is complemented by a full Full Titanal layer, Tailored Carbon Tips, and the rMotion 3 Toolless plate, providing outstanding power transmission and allowing easy tool-free binding adjustment.
Who are these skis for?
The Völkl Racetiger SL is designed for advanced and expert skiers who enjoy short carving turns, sporty skiing, and perfectly groomed pistes. It is an excellent choice for those looking to benefit from race-inspired technology without stepping into a full World Cup race ski.
Ideal for:
How do the skis perform?
The Racetiger SL feels lively, highly precise, and exceptionally quick from edge to edge. Its slalom geometry allows effortless turn initiation while delivering remarkable precision even at higher speeds.
The Tailored Torsion Woodcore, combined with Full Titanal reinforcement, provides excellent stability, outstanding vibration damping, and powerful rebound through every turn. Compared to the race-focused SL Master, the Racetiger SL offers a slightly more forgiving ride, making it comfortable for long days on the mountain without sacrificing performance.
Key performance characteristics:
Understanding the specifications
67 mm Waist Width
The narrow 67 mm waist allows extremely quick edge transitions and highly efficient power transfer. This geometry is typical of high-performance and race-inspired slalom skis.
Benefits:
10.4–13.6 m Turning Radius
The short slalom radius enables rapid direction changes and precise short-radius carving. The ski is extremely agile and reacts instantly to every movement.

3D.GLASS is Völkl’s latest development to furthermore improve overall ski performance and stability even in critical snow conditions. Compared to classic glass constructions the three-dimensional and multiple-folded glass layers in the binding area result in an increased edge grip and a more vivid rebound behavior in turns. Compared to classic glass constructions the three-dimensional and multiple-folded glass layers in the tip and in the tail area result in an increased edge grip and a more vivid rebound behavior in turns. 1 3D.GLASS IS INTEGRATED IN THE TIP AND TAIL OF THE SKI // flat glass under the binding making the center softer // variable turning at any speed 2 GLASS ABOVE THE SIDEWALL //providing additional support for superior edge grip on icy slopes 3 VERTICAL GLASS IN TIP & TAIL AREA //more pop for faster edge to edge changes
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.
Super fast base for World Cup races.
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.
The Tailored Torsion Woodcore made from poplar and beech brings energy, stability and controlled torsion together in a strong package. Full Titanal adds smooth composure when the pace picks up, while the Full Sidewall ABS drives pressure cleanly to the edge. The rMotion 3 Toolless plate system creates an efficient connection between ski and binding and supports sporty power transfer.
