Kendo 88: The Versatile All-Mountain Thrill🏔️
Meet the Kendo 88, the epitome of an all-mountain freerider designed for the most experienced skiers. With a state-of-the-art build, it's your ticket to exhilarating, powerful turns on any terrain and every piste. Much like the new Mantra and Kenja, the Kendo 88 boasts revised geometry and a 3D Radius Sidecut with a one-meter shorter center radius. This innovation creates remarkably versatile cornering with three different radii rolled into one ski, enhancing your riding experience. The new 16 m radius in the middle further amplifies its radius variability, inviting you to embrace tight turns with full-edge precision. This ski encourages a sporty, intuitive style on groomed slopes and offers the maneuverability needed to conquer challenging terrains. Plus, a shorter center radius means less effort is required. This season, the Kendo 88 welcomes the addition of Tailored Carbon Tips and a Tailored Titanal Frame, cementing its status as a vessel for boundless fun and adventure.

Tailored Technologies for Unmatched Performance ⚡
The Kendo 88 is enriched with Tailored Technologies, exclusively from Völkl, offering unmatched performance. The Tailored Titanal Frame, a revolution of the Titanal Frame, adapts the width of the Titanal upper belt to the ski's length, allowing for personalized torsional stiffness and damping behavior tailored to the skier's preference. Shorter skis feature reduced Titanal content, making it easier for lighter, shorter skiers to harness their skis' full potential effortlessly. The new Tailored Carbon Tips introduce versatility at its best, thanks to carbon fibers applied using Tailored Fiber Placement (TFP). This precise application of carbon fibers influences curve behavior with great accuracy, dictating the force and energy distribution as needed. Agile shovel reaction is a notable feature, allowing you to initiate turns with precision. This construction not only results in reduced weight but also maintains rock-solid stability. The Kendo 88 features a tip and tail rocker, a multilayer wood core, full sidewall, and a P-Tex 2100 base. Your journey with the Kendo 88 promises unrivaled performance and limitless adventure on every slope.
TECHNOLOGY
TAILORED TITANAL FRAME
In contrast to the previous design, the width of the titanal frame is now adapted exactly to each individual ski length. This results in Tailored Titanal Frames, which are positioned above the sidewall alog the tip and tail area of the ski to provide the desired damping and torsional stiffness. The size of the frames is tailored to the skier's height, skiing ability and power. This means that longer ski models have a higher titanal content for more stiffness, more direct power transmission and stronger dampening. The shorter the length, the lower the titanal content, which makes the ski more agile, so that smaller, lighter and less powerful skiers can use the full potential performance of the ski. In addition to the Tailored Titanal Frames, a second, thinner titanal layer is located in the binding area, which gives the ski the necessary strength, but also agility. The result: the Tailored Titanal Frame technology provides an incomparable combination of agility and high speed control.
TAILORED CARBON TIPS
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.
