Völkl Deacon 84

The Völkl Deacon 84 are performant piste skis with the originality of having the bindings integrated into the ski’s structure. The Deacon’s structure is made up of rails on which the bindings slide on to. They have done the binding/ski integration superbly making these into a beautiful object. The Völkl have fabulous metallic ski tips and the fore and aft of the skis are shaped, the overall design is really stunning.

The edges of the top sheet are sensitive to being marked as soon as there are knocks the varnish is marked.

 

 

The Völkl Deacon 84 are quite heavy to carry, like most Völkl skis (this brand doesn’t hesitate in using quality materials to ensure some durability), on piste they aren’t that easy to ski and you get tired quickly.

The skis we tested were without doubt a little too sharp, yet we had trouble turning them, skidding turns and also especially on very hardpacked snow.

 

With the  Völkl Deacon 84 you have this feeling of masses of energy underfoot. The skis are stiff, especially at the waist, you have the feeling the skis are wider than they are, which is only 84mm.

 

From the first turns you can feel this mass of energy, that you need to master. If you aren’t careful they can catch your feet at slow speed, they improve when you accelerate and when the snow is soft.

 

The Völkl Deacon 84 slip easily onto the edges and ride conscientiously, with great performance. You can also change the radius without being brutal, one of their great qualities. Their stability is undeniable, you feel like you’re riding a massive truck or train that’s riding on rails; they are enthusiastic because you wonder if you will just flatten everything in your path, you could go anywhere!

 

 

 

 

The Völkl Deacon 84 vibrate quite a lot at the waist yet the ski tips filter well. They glide magnificently and the base structure is stunning.

 

The Völkl Deacon 84 are a very beautiful object that demand effort, proper physical placement for lightweight skiers. On wide open well-groomed slopes they are pleasant for solid skiers who can exploit their inherent energy.
