If there’s one word to describe Volkl’s latest Kanjo 84 Ski, “balanced” immediately comes to mind. It’s stable, precise, and ultra-grippy on groomers, and quick but easily controlled off-trail, making the Kanjo 84 the perfect daily-driver for a wide range of experienced and less experienced skiers. In enlisting the expertise of Volkl’s Fiberglass Frame, the Kanjo 84 is able to achieve a responsive and energetic feel that lacks the aggression and stiffness of titanal. This construction translates to impeccable balance in varied terrain and allows intermediate and advanced skiers to explore the bumps, trees, and groomers with a laid-back feel. When combined with a 3D Radius Sidecut, the Kanjo 84 becomes quite the experimental performer that accelerates through a wide variety of turn shapes at different speeds. Though rather simple in its build, the Volkl Kanjo 84 Ski is comprised of the most tried-and-true technologies that keep this impeccable all-mountain performer coming back for more, year after year.
