Deacon 72 23/24 Ski with Binding /Product Id ts-77355

**Ultra maneuverable through all radii, the slope multi-talent!

You could say: The term all-mountain was invented for the Deacons. Whether long, medium or crisp short turns, cruising pace or at the limit, rutted or groomed piste, every ambitious carving lover will find their happiness here. With a 72 mm center width, the Deacon is recommended for all those who carve lively through all radii and like to let it rip.

The Deacon 72 is not to be overlooked with its bright colors on the slopes. Thanks to new geometry with a widened shovel and shortened tip & tail rocker, the powerhouse shines in all curve radii and can be edged even faster thanks to the two millimeter narrower center width of the ski. Whether long, medium or short turns, here every sporty-ambitious skier will find his happiness. This variability is made possible above all by the use of the Tailored Carbon Tips. The carbon fibers applied by means of the Tailored Fibre Placement (TFP for short), which is used exclusively by Volkl, allow the curve behavior to be optimally influenced. The thickness and orientation of the fibers define the necessary force and energy build-up exactly where it is needed. The agile blade retraction is particularly positive here. This means that directly at turn initiation, the ski begins to guide in a metered and controlled manner, depending on the edge application. In addition, this construction allows a lower weight without any loss of stability. Last but not least, TFP allows our designers to tailor all lengths specifically to the requirements of the target groups.

The entire Deacon range is made with 3D.Glass in the front and rear sections, and the proven multilayer woodcore with a poplar/beech mix is installed inside. Two full layers of Titanal provide the usual liveliness. The riding characteristics of the Deacon 72 are also boosted by the new R-Motion 3 GW binding. The shortened plate in combination with the wider hole pattern delivers a more direct, punchy power transmission and allows faster edge changes. The highlight, however, are the two rear screws that are no longer fixed, allowing the binding to slide freely. With improved edge grip, the ski moves harmoniously through the entire bending line without being blocked. Overall, the Deacon 72 is noticeably easier to turn with less effort.

For younger or lighter skiers, the Deacon 72 is available for the first time in a length below 160 cm at 158 cm.
