Where to buy:
To round out Völkl’s eclectic series of all-mountain and freeride skis, the Kanjo 84 is an accessible on-piste/off-piste cruiser that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
The Kanjo can deliver short, snappy, and precise turns when you ask it to but has a more forgiving feel than some of the heavier skis on this list.
If you’re looking for a good entry level option to start exploring variable terrain on the mountain, the Kanjo is a great ski to take you there.
The Kanjo is a great first step before moving onto something like the M5 Mantra or the Revolt 104. It’s also perfect for people who get a few dozen days in a season and need something forgiving that allows more freedom than something purely on-piste. It’s probably the best intermediate ski that Völkl makes, and a contender for the best “sophomore” skill-level ski on the market.
Notable Features
Titanal Binding Platform: A thin titanal sheet gives precise support without an undue increase in weight
Glass Frame: Fiberglass laminate frame runs along the edges, tip, and tail of the ski. This lightweight support system adds necessary rigidity while keeping things lively and playful.
3D Radius Sidecut: Variable sidecut is designed to make it easier to perform multiple turn shapes. Tips and tails are tailored for long turns while a shorter radius underfoot makes shorter turns at low speed easier.
