Volkl

Kenja 2017

Last season, Völkl introduced some minor changes in its best-selling Kenja -- a wider 90 mm waist, a bit of tip taper, and discrete rocker at the tip and tail -- all intended to make the ski easier to initiate and more playful. That's not to say that the Völkl Kenja Skis have lost any of their legendary precision or power; the Kenja still carves up hard snow like a Ginsu knife in butter, and blasts through variable snow like the DEA coming in the front door of a crack house. Not for the faint of heart, but perfect for the technically sound rider who knows the difference between a clean carved turn and a skidded one, the Kenja is waiting.
