What Volkl says about the Peregrine 82
“The Peregrine 82 excels on both icy slopes and fresh snow, delighting experienced skiers with its performance. Thanks to the unique Völkl Tailored Carbon Tips, the ski provides more agility for quick short turns in changing conditions. In addition, the 3D Radius Sidecut supports the versatility for a playful skiing. The combination of the new tip geometry plus the integrated Tailored Titanal Frame results in a more direct, precise & reliable handling with highest stability. Marker and Völkl teamed up to construct the specific LowRide XL binding with GripWalk which allows great power transfer and edge grip due to the extra low stand height.”
Flex Pattern
Here’s how we’d characterize the flex pattern of the Peregrine 82:
Tips: 8.5-9
Shovels: 9-9.5
In Front of Toe Piece: 9.5
Underfoot: 10
Behind the Heel Piece: 9.5-9
Tails: 9.5
Like many performance-oriented carving skis, and also similar to Volkl’s Mantra skis, the Peregrine 82 is quite stiff overall. However, while its tips and tails are notably stiff compared to most other skis’ tips and tails, the middle of the Peregrine 82 isn’t completely unbendable (in contrast to how some other skis feel there), so we’ll be curious to see how all this plays out in terms of turn initiation, bending it into tighter turns, how powerfully it finishes carved turns, etc.
Stay Tuned…
