The Katana V-Werks is a legend. For years it has been the ski of choice of several of Vlkls pro big mountain riders. With a 3D.Ridge and a full carbon construction, the Katana V-Werks is still offering an extraordinary combination between light weight and downhill performance – a masterpiece of Straubing engineering.

Construction & Tech

Full Carbon Jacket – Material layup for direct transmission and high reliability/stability at the lightest possible weight.

3D.Ridge Carbon – Central Woodcore Ridge with superslim wings to significantly reduce weight and swing weight and keep the stability where necessary. Combined with Full Carbon Jacket for Stability.

Center Sidewall – Direct and strong powertransmission with partial sidewalls in the center of the ski, combined with the superslim 3D.Ridge construction.

3D Hybrid Multilayer Woodcore – A very dynamic woodcore with a combination of hard wood, poplar, beech and isocore in the center and an super light hard wood poplar mix in the outer areas. The 3D Hybrid Mulitlayer Woodcore can be found in the Deacon V.Werks

Smart Skinclip – The newly developed Smart Skinclip system allows the ski tourer to decide for himself, depending on the situation, in which direction he should pull the skin on and off. A standard snap hook at the tail end of the ski allows the skin to be attached and detached from behind. The skin can, however, also be pulled on and off quickly and easily from the front. This new flexibility is made possible by an elastic snap hook, which is also easy to grip with gloves. A subtle depression in the ski tip gives the hook lateral guidance and prevents it from unintentionally releasing the skin while walking.
