The rising popularity of the FREERIDE line has undergone a graphics change
The two freeride skis developed by Hirscher's passion that cannot be easily achieved with alpine racing alone are gaining great popularity. The FREERIDE line from VAN DEER-Red Bull Sports boasts overwhelming sliding performance and high-speed stability derived from World Cup racing, while capturing the strike zone of freeride with a waist width of 98mm and 108mm.
In addition to the distinctive surfy tip rocker, the poplar core is reinforced with two layers of titanium and carbon, and uses a full ASB sidewall, racing edge and P-Tex race base. It is the strongest machine with outstanding control performance and combines powder buoyancy and off-road performance. Marcel does not accept anything that is not perfect, so it is a fat ski that has a real lace room finish following the same "winning line" recipe as its lace lineup.
The 25-26 season has been updated with graphics, and the two-tone color of the '25-26 season has been changed to a cool, solid color look. New base materials have also been adopted, further improving sliding performance and durability. Users who actually purchased the FREERIDE model at Kleb Sport last year have been impressed, saying, "It has great driving performance in all conditions," and "The stability at high speeds is just a little different."
It's sure to become a popular model that will be the highlight next season. The limited quantity is first come, first served, so if you're interested, you need to take action early.
FREERIDE98
The 98mm waist FREERIDE98 is a versatile model that can be used in any situation, from deep snow in the backcountry to hard-packed burns in Onpiste. A multi-talent that combines reliable buoyancy with powder and reliable grip with hard burn, and is also extremely operable and stable at high speeds. He has been extremely popular since his debut last season. The 2025-26 season will be newly decorated and feature stylish off-white colours.
FREERIDE108
The FREERIDE 108 is a model for big mountain skiers who want to conquer any natural terrain and enjoy an aggressive skiing experience. While providing excellent buoyancy with powder, it also has excellent control performance and allows for light operation in the air. The overwhelming stability at high speeds illuminates the technical capabilities unique to VAN DEER-Red Bull Sports, which has been refined with alpine lace. The 25-26 season features cool Rock Lidge colors.
VAN DEER ski original color bindings are now available from MARKER
Next season, MARKER's COMP series has been available with bindings in color exclusive to VAN DEER-Red Bull Sports. The same color as the ski graphic colors recommended for setups in series other than FREERIDE, allowing for a perfect coordination. This is also a reflection of Hirscher's commitment to gear.
Incidentally, the MARKER COMP FDT 13 Golden Week set up on the "SL" is GRAY, which is the same color as the board, and the "H-POWER89" which is also the same color as the board, KAHKI.
The world's one and only "FACTORY TUNNING"
The notable feature of the VAN DEER-Red Bull Sports skis is that they are not only high quality of the skis themselves, but also made into raceroom specifications by the Jupiter-X, a tune-up machine that boasts the world's cutting edge in all models. It's something to be there.
Each model has a "V-Edge" that allows you to precisely change the base and side edges of the top, center and tail. This is a very special mechanism, as the setting numbers that maximize the performance of the skis are not disclosed and remained a secret.
If you want to tune again after purchasing, such as the following season, just bring the board to Kleb Sports, the only one in Japan that owns the Jupiter-X, and have this QR code loaded into the Jupiter-X.
This "FACTORY TUNNING" is a unique service made possible with the desire that all users should enjoy the value of world-class tuning and setting.
Absolute Champion Hirscher's brilliant and complete revival
Marcel Hirscher won an unprecedented eight consecutive W-CUP overall title by the 18-19 season. He left the FIS racing scene in September 2019, leaving behind many legends, but he announced that he will return to active in the 2024-25 season for the first time in six seasons. This was not from his mother's homeland, Austria, but from his mother's homeland, the Netherlands. It was featured as the top news in various European media outlets, and in a flash the topic quickly roamed the world.
Hillscher competed in the men's GS at Solden on Sunday, October 27th. The background to this was the revision of the FIS rules, which would have been a tailwind for Hirscher. That's the "wild card." In order to make it easier for past star players to return, in addition to being eligible for the World Cup, even if they have no points, they are given a head start order, making it a no-obvious rule that was no longer made for Hirscher.
On the day, he appeared with the start of No. 34, and was an offensive skate that was hard to believe it was his first time in six seasons, and came in 28th, 2.29 seconds behind the top. And then the second one was the third start. He finished with a powerful and technical skiing on a non-rough course, and when he finished, his second round was a time that was third place. He was 23rd in total time. He achieved better results than anyone had expected, and he made a strong appeal for the complete revival of Hirscher.
Hirscher's big smile photos posted on his Instagram are impressive.
A comment from fans who were pleased with "likes" from 73,000 people, and who were pleased to be back as a superhero, said, "You're a person with a true vision and contributed to redefine sports, industry and lifestyles. "We've got it," and "I knew you could do it. From now on, everything will be for the sake of "fun." For you and us. We missed you, Marcel." It was brought in a mountain.
The next match was Levi (Finland)'s slalom opening match, and even greater expectations and attention were drawn to Hirscher. During this time, he suffered a ligament injury while training. Unfortunately, the team was hopeless about continuing to race this season, but the skiing that showed no sign of the decline of the absolute champion in the first match was enough to prove the power of the VAN DEER-Red Bull Sports gear to the world.
