No subject to promotional offersThe Rise Above 88 is a men's freerando ski from the brand Völkl that represents an ideal compromise between lightness and stability, allowing you to enjoy both the ascent and the descent.
Designed with a Hybrid Multilayer Woodcore made of wood with lightweight properties, this ski performs perfectly during the ascent phases while also offering good manoeuvrability in difficult and narrow sections. On the descent, the tip rocker provides extraordinary flotation, and its flat endpiece adds rigidity for stability at high speeds.
The 3D Radius Sidecut design allows the Rise Above 88 to perform well in wide turns while remaining very manoeuvrable in short turns and narrow passages. Additionally, it features Smart Skinclip technology, which makes attaching skins easier and faster, helping you save time and energy during your ascents.

| HYBRID MULTILAYER WOODCORE | The edge is laminated onto extremely stable wood layers. This, combined with a lighter and more flexible wood inserted at the centre of the construction, offers numerous advantages. The hardwood section immediately adjacent to the edge provides high power transmission, improves edge grip, and protects the sides against external impacts. The reduced weight of the softwood in the ski’s centre ensures greater agility and better manoeuvrability while reducing the overall ski weight. |
| P-TEX 2100 | High-density sintered polyethylene base with a high molecular weight, offering excellent durability and outstanding glide. |
| 3D RADIUS SIDECUT | The use of a long radius at the tip and endpiece for large, high-speed turns allows excellent manoeuvrability and easier turn exit. The shorter radius used for smaller, medium-speed turns provides agility and easier turn entry for smoother short turns. |
| SMART SKINCLIP | This system enables the skier to decide, depending on the situation, in which direction the skin should be attached or removed. A standard (carabiner) clip at the rear end of the ski allows the skin to be attached and detached from the back. The skin can also be installed and removed quickly and easily from the front. The elastic clip is easy to grasp with gloves. A slight depression in the ski tip provides lateral guidance to the hook and prevents the skin from unintentionally releasing during the walk. |
