Volkl RT GSL R JR w/LIFTER

It's amazing to watch these junior racers these days rip down the course. They have such incredible balance, timing, and technique. Unless the conditions or terrain are completely crazy, these junior skiers are not skidding turns. They are following their intended line with confidence and poise. A lot of it has to do with their training and coaching, but we'd venture to guess that the gear has a lot do with that success as well. Enter the 2020 Volkl Racetiger GSL R junior skis with the lifter plate. These stacked sticks come in lengths 132 through 171, so for pretty much any age junior racer, you're going to find the corresponding length. In the two longer lengths, the multi-layer wood core is stiffer, with a greater mix of dense wood in the core. This gives the bigger racers a burlier ski to handle the heavier weights. Each length has the corresponding turn radii, and it all starts with the 65 mm waist width. At this shape, you get the solid edge bite from the narrow waist, and this results in the utmost of edge grip and carving power. The lifter is all about power and leverage-stacking you up higher off the snow so that you can create steeper edge angles. When it comes to carving and racing, it's all about making those hard turns look easy, and when you have the skills, now you need the skis. This is where the Racetiger GSL R junior skis with the lifter plate comes in to play.
