Specs Technology FAQs
If you don't want to compromise choosing the right slopes, if you want to be on top of your game in every snow condition, you need to take a closer look at the Deacon 80 with tip & tail rocker. Built with 3D.Ridge and a 3D.Glass construction this ski features Vlkl's 3D radius sidecut technology to make you feel at home anywhere you ski. It lifts the carving performance of the ski into another dimension.

The 3D. Radius sidecut allows you to make a variety of different turn shapes, and the extended radii in the tips and tails also gives the ski a more forgiving, less catchy feel, which comes in handy when you're not on a perfect groomer. While not as wide as some and now as powerful or precise as others, the Deacon 80 still proves to be a valuable ski in the all-mountain carver category.
Three radii in one ski for maximum turning & speed versatility in all mountain skiing
3D.Glass is Volkl's development to futhermore 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 tip and in the tail area result in an increased edge grip and a more vivid rebound behavior in turns.
Especially for wider skis: 10 mm lower stand height for increased agility and better edge grip
