Highlights of Deacon Ski Construction

New Geometry with Tip and Tail Rocker

With the Deacons’ new geometry, you can excel in all turn radiuses. Their wider tip and rocker at both ends make them super versatile.

3D Glass

The downhill skis’ multilayer wood core is combined with 3D lamination developed by Völkl. This lamination technology features layers of three-dimensional, multiple folded-folded glass at the tip and tail areas to optimize edge hold and create more dynamic rebound in turns.

Advantages of 3D Glass Lamination

More rebound in turns
More agility
More dynamism
Increased power transmission
Better edge hold on hard surfaces

Titanal Layers

In addition to the wood core and 3D lamination, Deacon alpine skis feature two Titanal layers. This reinforcement dampens more vibrations at high speeds so that you can enjoy smooth, stable skiing. In addition, the skis will be more effective on and have more bite into hardpack and even ice.

Deacon Downhill Ski Technologies

Tailored Carbon Tips

This innovative new technology involves embroidering carbon fibres onto carrier material. These fibres are then precisely positioned in the tips. The thickness and positioning of the fibres are determined based on the torsional stiffness sought for the skis.

This brand-new construction technology makes it easier for skiers to initiate turns and be nimbler. Furthermore, the tips build up energy faster for high-level precision.
