The Tierra offers perhaps the greatest versatility of any women's ski in the market. With Bio-Logic technology the stance, ski geometry, and flex are perfectly dialed, allowing the Tierra to take advanced to expert women from the groomers to the crud with the ultimate combination of top-end performance and ease of use.
Features:
- Sidecut: 129-78-99
- Full Rocker: Extended Low Profile (ELP) gives the skier all the benefits of added maneuverability in soft snow while also delivering smooth, graceful arcs on groomed terrain. How? By matching the flex and sidecut with the full rocker (long, gradual bend from tip to tail) profile, the skier gains full, uninterrupted edge contact. The more you put the ski on edge, the more effective the edge becomes. The resulting smoothness and predictability is truly uncanny.
- Bio-Logic Flex: Völkl engineers carefully matched the flex of all Bio-Logic models to work in synergy with the new stance and geometry. Stiffer in the front of the ski for quick turn initiation, and softer in the tail for easy turn exit, the Bio-Logic flex enhances flex distribution and gives the skier the ultimate in comfort and control.
- Bio-Logic Stance: Marker and Völkl engineers developed new Motion systems that put the skier in a more balanced stance. We created a more neutral stance by raising the toe of the binding – resulting in better balance between the muscles in the front and rear of the legs. The Bio-Logic stance affords less overloading of the quadriceps muscles, which undergo most of the strain in the turn. More balanced muscle action between the quads and hamstrings means better performance, and potential protection for the knees.
- Bio-Logic Geometry: Bio-Logic ski geometry - The proprietary Bio-Logic sidecut shapes are more generous in the tip, and narrower in the tail than those of unisex skis. They feature a specific, progressive design that has a tighter radius in the front of the ski for easier turn initiation and a longer radius toward the tail. The narrower tail allows the skier to finish the turn with less effort, allowing her to transition from one turn to the next with ease. This also reduces the load on the knees during the end of the turn.
- Extended Wood Core: The Extended (XTD) Wood Core is used in Extended Double Grip constructions. More forgiving than the Extended Sensorwood Core, it consists of a full-length wood core sitting beneath the Extended Double Grip chambers.
- Extended Doulbe Grip: The unique Motion iPT interface allowed Völkl engineers to further develop our signature Double Grip construction, creating Extended Double Grip. The added height extends from tip to tail, placing more material where it’s needed - in support of the edges. Featured in conjunction with various Motion iPT and eMotion systems.
- Powered By Steel
- Attiva eMotion Binding System: The Attiva eMotion binding system features the raised-toe, Bio-Logic stance along with the Triple Pivot Comfort toe adapted from Marker's Royal Family bindings. The toe is shorter and lighter in weight, with boosted power transmission. A shorter interface that goes from 260 to 330mm means the shortest possible footprint on the ski for optimum flex. The interface is designed for women's skis with waist widths beween 70 and 79mm.
