A 127-94-111 mm shape at 171 cm keeps the long running length and low-taper tail that hold an edge on firm snow, and the Traction Pattern base grips low-angle ground with the skins still in the pack. At 1,405 g per ski in a 171 the Voile Vector BC matches the standard Vector at every length, so the scales are a glide decision rather than a weight one.\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.

Sizing follows the family pattern, with a 154 at 119-90-105 mm on a 16.5 m radius and 1,165 g per ski, and a 184 at 133-98-116 mm on a 20 m radius and 1,680 g per ski.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eThe Voile Vector BC takes AT bindings and telemark bindings, and quiver killers void the Voile factory warranty.
