Key Technologies
Traction Pattern BC Base
The highlight of the HyperVector BC, this scaled base provides climbing grip for rolling terrain without the need for skins. It excels in gentle ascents, long traverses, and meadows, reducing transitions and maximizing efficiency. While it doesn’t replace skins entirely, it’s a game-changer for those moments when climbing isn’t steep enough to warrant a full setup.
Paulownia Core
Renowned for its lightweight durability, the Paulownia wood core makes the skis incredibly agile without compromising strength. Perfect for extended ascents and long touring days, this core strikes the ideal balance for backcountry explorers.
Voile Carbon-Weave x2
Dual layers of carbon fiber integrated with triaxial fiberglass enhance torsional rigidity and energy transfer, giving the ski precise responsiveness and stability. This construction reduces weight while maintaining dependable edge hold and maneuverability across diverse conditions.
Early-Rise Camber Design
- Tip: A wide, early-rise shovel provides superior float in powder, effortlessly cutting through soft snow.
- Waist: A long running length with traditional camber delivers exceptional edging and stability at high speeds or on steep terrain.
- Tail: Minimal taper with a wide, flat tail ensures control and support in harder snow or debris-laden conditions.
Anti-Ice Topsheet
Crafted from durable polyamide, the topsheet resists snow and ice buildup. This innovative feature minimizes extra weight on long approaches and freezing days, ensuring optimal performance throughout your adventure.
Performance Highlights
- Ultralight Touring: Shaves nearly a pound per pair for easier ascents without sacrificing durability.
- Directional Carving: A longer turn radius and medium camber make for stable, smooth carving and assertive downhill control.
- All-Mountain Versatility: Excels in variable snow, from powder to hardpack, while providing reliable float and edge hold.
- Traction on Rolling Terrain: The Traction Pattern Base allows for efficient kick-and-glide movement, reducing fatigue on flat sections and gentle climbs.
Material and Construction Details
- Core: Ultralight Paulownia wood for strength and agility.
- Reinforcements: Dual layers of Voile Carbon-Weave and triaxial fiberglass for rigidity and control.
- Edges: Full-contact steel edges deliver superior grip on hardpack and icy terrain.
- Base: Sintered black base maximizes speed, durability, and repairability, ensuring you’re always ready for your next adventure.
The Voile HyperVector BC Skis are best suited for:
- Backcountry Touring: Designed for long days exploring rugged terrain.
- All-Mountain Skiing: Stable and responsive for descents on varied snow conditions.
