The Volkl RTM 78 is a dependable ski that’s solid underfoot and gives you a lot of confidence. This ski would be perfect for an intermediate to advanced skier looking for a reliable companion all around the mountain this season.
This ski is very versatile. On piste it feels light, with good power transmission between edges and a good grip on the hard pack. The tip rocker allows easy turn initiation and playful manoeuvrability that is a lot of fun both off piste and off it.
Off piste, the responsiveness of this ski makes it really enjoyable and comfortable across terrains. While it may feel slightly heavier off piste than on the groomed runs, it does not feel out of place.
The impressive agility of the Volkl RTM 78 2018 makes the whole mountain your playground. However, thanks to its dual wood core, it also has a stiff rigidity that keeps you feeling very well grounded.
A great easy to use ski, the Volkl RTM 78 is very predictable, giving you great support underfoot at every twist and turn. It will be a brilliant choice of ski for an advanced skier looking for a fun, versatile ski with a lot of energy. A durable, reliable ski, it will keep you happy for as long as you let it!
