Description
Bindings are not included.
The Volkl Racetiger GS R Jr Ski with plate has been completely redesigned. Like the Racetiger SL R Jr, it was tested and developed with Volkl's ski legends and their children. The result is a different geometry with a slightly wider shovel, which provides more turning support and helps young racers largely place their turns above the gates. Another highlight is the "scaled structure". All lengths are equipped with a tip rocker, full sidewall, Speedwall wood core and two layers of full titanal. As the thickness of the titanal and the mixing ratio of the wood changes from length to length, the skis grow with their athletes so that they are always optimally tailored to the needs of each target group. The package is completed with a pre-mounted Marker Jr Race Interface plate, which has been matched to the ski and thus offers excellent power transmission, edge grip and bending characteristics.

On average, your skis should fall somewhere between your chin and forehead when held upright. There are a few additional details that play a significant role in determining which ski size is best fit for you. After consulting the size chart, be sure to consider your weight, skill level, skiing style and the type of terrain you’ll be frequenting.
Here are some reasons for sizing up or down:
Weight
- Size up if you are closer to the high end of your weight range or above average weight for your height.
- Size down if you are closer to the low end of your weight range or below average weight for your height.
Skill Level and Style
-
Size up if you are an advanced/expert skier who prefers
to be fast and aggressive in style.
- Longer skis tend to have a more stable feel.
-
Size down if you are a beginner/intermediate skier who
prefers skiing at a more leisurely pace with quick turns.
- Shorter skis offer higher overall manoeuverability.
Terrain
- Size up if you love to explore the backcountry. Most off-piste skiers lean towards longer skis.
- Size down if you prefer carving your way down a well-groomed mountain or hard pack snow.
