The Volkl Bash 81 is a ski from Volkl’s lineup, offered in a 172 cm length. It comes with a flat binding interface, leaving the choice of mounting system up to you, and its shaping dimensions outline how it handles on snow.
With a turn radius of 21.2 m, the Bash 81 leans toward medium-radius arcs—responsive enough for shorter swoops yet stable when you open up the turn. The 120 mm tip and 110 mm tail provide support in variable snow, while the 86 mm waist underfoot helps maintain nimbleness. At 1750 g per ski, it strikes a balance between solidity and ease of maneuvering.
Turn radius refers to the size of the circle a ski naturally carves when tilted on edge. A 21.2 m radius means the Bash 81 favors longer, smoother turns over quick pivots, helping you stay in control at higher speeds.
