The Volkl Men's RTM 84 Skis are the flagships of a completely new series - Ride the Mountain. Rebuilt from top-to-bottom, these skis represent a complete re-focus from Völkl’s engineering group on the skier who wants incredible groomed snow, frontside performance PLUS an occasional foray off trail. The RTM 84 is a powerful, precision instrument for strong advanced and expert level skiers. The 84mm waist gives great edge to edge response on this a primarily frontside ski that is still wide enough to float on soft snow and bust through sketchier stuff. The Sensorwood core with Titanium and Sidewall construction provides race power, strong grip, damping, and poppy rebound for strong carving on-piste and playfullness when off the trails.
The Extended Low Profile (ELP) Full Rocker shape gives the skier all the benefits of added maneuverability in soft snow while also delivering smooth, graceful arcs on groomed terrain. With flex to match the sidecut, the skier gains full, uninterrupted edge contact. The more you put the ski on edge, the more effective the edge becomes. The resulting smoothness and predictability is truly uncanny. The iPT Wideride binding system which uses internal rails to connect the binding directly into the ski for the best natural flex and increasing power to the edge. The RTM 84 will be there for those skier that want to hit the path hard and fast all day long with no need for chatter or forgiveness.
A Gold Medal Gear winner for 2012 from Ski Magazine that called it a race-ready ride that begs for the whip on groomers yet skims pushed-up piles of afternoon crud with grace and ease.
