A 131-99-111 mm shape at 178 cm and an 18.5 m radius at that length hand back the same surfy V6 handling on the way down, and the Traction Pattern base holds on low-angle ground without a skin transition. At 1,530 g per ski in a 178 the Voile V6 BC matches the published weight of the standard V6 at every shared length, so the scales cost glide rather than grams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-expert-line\"\u003e\n      \u003cspan class=\"ccbb-expert-badge\"\u003eExpert Review\u003c\/span\u003e\n      \u003cspan\u003eSpecifications verified against the manufacturer catalog for this model year.

On moist snow the Traction Pattern base holds to roughly the angle a skier can push comfortably, and it gives up well before a proper skin track does, so plan on carrying skins for anything steep or refrozen. Length follows the same rule as the rest of the line: a 163 is 126-96-108 mm on a 17 m radius and a 183 is 133-100-113 mm on a 19 m radius, with weight from 1,345 g per ski to 1,675 g per ski across that span.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eThe Voile V6 BC takes AT bindings and telemark bindings, and quiver killers void the Voile factory warranty.
