A 141-112-123 mm shape at 176 cm puts a very wide shovel out front, and the 17.3 m radius at that length is short for a ski this wide, which is why the V8 pivots in trees instead of running away. At 1,655 g per ski in a 176 the Voile V8 is the poplar build of the shape, damp through crud and rated for telemark bindings as well as AT.\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.
