Voile HyperVector BC Touring Ski
Tourers who want to kick and glide across the flat middle of a day without paying for it on the climb are the case for the Voile HyperVector BC Touring Ski. 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 molded Traction Pattern base handles gentle climbs and traverses with nothing on the bases. At 1,230 g per ski in a 171 the Voile HyperVector BC is the lightest scaled ski Voile builds, which is what stops the scales feeling like a compromise.

Why We Like It
- A paulownia wood core under two Voile Carbon-Weave layers takes 175 g per ski out of the Vector BC at 171 cm, which is what makes a scaled ski worth carrying on a long day.
- Voile keeps the directional shape intact on the scaled version, so the long running length, camber underfoot and low-taper tail still grip firm snow rather than washing out.
- The scale pattern grips when the ski is pressed flat and glides on the forward stride, so meadows, traverses and gentle climbs pass without a transition.
- Hardened steel edges wrap the full perimeter, which matters on a ski this light when the scales are being pushed across icy trail and rock.
Best Uses
- Long traverses, meadows and rolling approach tracks
- Hut and lodge tours with repeated flat sections
- Spring corn and firm-snow descents
- Skiers running pin/tech touring bindings
- Big-distance days where weight and transitions both matter
Ski Specialist's Advice
The scales cover gentle and moderate ground and stop well short of a skin track, losing grip on cold dry snow and on refrozen surfaces, so skins stay in the pack rather than at home. Length works as it does across the family: a 154 is 119-90-105 mm on a 16.5 m radius at 1,020 g per ski, and a 184 is 133-98-116 mm on a 20 m radius at 1,415 g per ski. Distance skiers tend to size up for glide, and skiers in tight terrain down.
Voile builds the Hyper Series for AT bindings, and mounting telemark bindings or quiver killers on the Voile HyperVector BC voids the Voile factory warranty. Tele skiers should buy the poplar Voile Vector BC, which Voile rates for their bindings. Boot center is marked on the topsheet with a chart per length, so no plate goes under the binding. Size brakes to the waist at your length, 90 mm at 154 cm to 98 mm at 184 cm, and carry skins at a 120 mm stock width.

Compare the Voile HyperVector BC
Voile HyperVector BC vs. Voile HyperVector
Same shape, same paulownia core and doubled carbon, and published weights within 25 g per ski of each other at every length. The scale base is the entire decision: the Voile HyperVector BC climbs gentle ground without skins, the Voile HyperVector glides freely on flats and low-angle descents.
