Volkl Men’s Deacon 79 System Ski 2023

At 79 millimeters underfoot, the Deacon 79 System Skis split the difference between a dedicated frontside-only skis and more versatile all-mountain ski for intermediate to advanced skiers.  That gives it a relatively versatile feel when it comes to carving skis. What’s extra nice about the Deacon 79 is that you get a high performing ski that comes paired with a system binding that has a lot of technology built in. Volkl uses a Dual Wood Core with their 3D Ridge construction method. Down the middle of the ski is a raised portion, which delivers good longitudinal stiffness while achieving slightly easier, more forgiving turn initiation.  A very good choice for a less aggressive skier with really good technique, or a more athletic skier who wants to progress. 

FEATURES

• Dual Woodcore – PU construction with large wooden core in the ski body offering better response, control and progression
• 3D.Ridge – Central Woodcore Ridge with superslim wings to significantly reduce weight and swing weight and keep the stability where necessary
• Center Sidewall – partial sidewalls in the center of the ski combined with superslim 3D Ridge construction delivers direct and strong power transmission
• Steel Powered – a steel layer in the ski provides very good durability, controlled flex and smooth skiing in faster speeds
• Wideride XL – the iPT Wideride system was developed with a contact surface width 30% greater than standard, helping energy flow more directly and continuously to the edges. This makes wider skis more agile, responsive and easier to control
