The widest Ski available from Volkl®, the Kuro makes big turns in deep powder with ease
The Kuro is back with a vengeance as the fatty in the Volkl freeride lineup, with ELP rocker and a new longer length to keep you stuck on the surface of bottomless fluff like an Alaskan oil slick. In powder that would hide the average toddler standing on a trash can, the Kuro’s decidedly un-svelte 132mm waist lets you float, smear, slarve, and otherwise play like it’s recess time. Volkl beefed up the Kuro’s construction for the 2010 season, adding extra insurance against binding and sidewall issues when you’re charging hard and tipping these gargantuan planks on edge.
The Kuro is Völkl’s widest ski, with a shape of 164-132-139, combined with Völkl's exclusive Extended Low Profile (ELP) rocker technology. Although designed for the deep stuff, the rocker design enhances performance in all snow conditions, even on firm, groomed snow.
Volkl Kuro Skis 2010: The Kuro comes in as Volkl’s widest ski for 2010. The unique rockered shape has unparalleled maneuverability in deep powder. With its Extended Low Profile design, the Kuro lopes through the deep stuff with ease, yet can still handle groomed snow better than any ski in the market of comparable width.

This ski is FAT, Rockered and probably the most fun ski I've ever ridden. If you are a skier that likes groomers and carving, this is not the ski for you! But, if you are looking to advance your big mtn skills by straight-lining Backcountry lines and smearing powder with speed, you will be in love with the Kuro!This ski is for the really advanced, a big mtn skier that has no problems pointing it and committing themselves downhill. The Kuro is fairly stiff throughout, so you'll feel confident at high speeds... no feeling of a soft, folding, fore body, over the bars sensation. | |
