What Völkl says about the Peregrine 72:
“You could say that the term 'all-mountain' was coined just for the Peregrine. Long, medium or crisp, short turns, cruising or skiing at the limits of speed, churned up or groomed slopes – if you’re ambitious about carving, look no further. With a 72 mm waist, the Peregrine is great for anyone who likes to carve quickly through every radius and sometimes really let rip.
With a widened shovel and shortened tip and tail rocker, this powerhouse masters every turn radius and can switch edges quickly thanks to a 72-millimetre waist. Long, medium or short turns – if you’re ambitious about performance, look no further. Its versatility is magnified by Tailored Carbon Tips. Carbon fibres applied using Völkl’s exclusive Tailored Fibre Placement (TFP) process allow our engineers to influence curve behaviour with great accuracy. The strength and alignment of the fibres define the force you need to apply and the energy that builds up where it’s needed. Agile shovel reaction is a feature of special note. This means that as soon as you initiate a turn, the ski begins to steer in a measured and controlled manner, depending on how the edges are employed. This construction also allows means less weight without any loss of stability. Last but not least, TFP allows our designers to tailor every length to the requirements of each target group.
The whole Peregrine range is made with 3D.Glass at the front and rear areas, while the ski is built around our renowned multilayer wood core featuring a mix of poplar and beech. Two full layers of Titanal give the ski its familiar vigour. The Peregrine 72’s ride is also boosted by the R-Motion 3 GW binding.
For younger and lighter riders, the Peregrine 72 is available in a length of below 160 cm – 158 cm to be precise.”—Völkl
