Völkl Kiku (2013)
Tester's Review
The Kiku is Volkl's widest female-specific offering and utilizes a full rocker profile and a chunky 107-millimeter waist to plane in powder and smash through crud, chunder, and slushy bumps. Bring your A game. It wants to go fast and requires some rider input to initiate turns, but once it dives into the fall line, it switches to attack mode and devours technical terrain, varying snow, and even the occasional groomer.
PRICE (MSRP): $825.00
