Test / Review Völkl Racetiger Speedwall SL UVO

Mini Volkl - SkiReviewer

The Völkl Racetiger Speedwall SL UVO is the top offer from the german manufacturer inside the slalom catalog. Anyone who remembers how the P series felt like and tasted this is the modern continuation.

The size offering is divided in two shapes, one for the 170 cm and 165 cm sizes and another one for the shorter 160 cm and 155 cm sizes. Why is this? Ask Völkl. Although I may have some clues for you. If you look at the rest of the manufacturers you will soon discover one sidecut fits all the sizes for an specific ski. That makes the 170 cm size in an SL ski have a 14 m radius. But the 155 cm can easily fall into the 11 m register because it follows the same sidecut pattern. Does this policy of one shape fits them all? Well… that is not easy to answer. In Völkl they’ve decided to give their own answer and that means having two sidecuts for one model. I can tell you one thing about this. At least they look like they care about they do and what you feel about their product.
