Description

All Mountain & Mountaineering
Directional / Carving


Make no mistake; the Voile HyperVector is a climbing machine. But don’t be fooled by its thirst for the up-track. This is a ski that was designed for downhill performance as much as uphill performance.

It shares the same camber profile and overall concept of the HyperCharger, but in a slimmed down version that’s easier on the approach and tuned to harder snow conditions. Like the other skis in our Hyper Series, it has a paulownia wood core and proprietary carbon/fiberglass weave that sheds significant weight when compared to the standard construction of the Voile UltraVector.

The HyperVector is a directional “carving” ski with an edge-to-edge feel, featuring a hard-working tail for control in ice, debris, and hardpack. A long running length with less sidecut provides for strong edging ability when driving fast and steep. However, not to be left out when the opportunity strikes, its early-rise tip and wide shovel ensure plenty of float in powder.

This is a backcountry ski that gets after it from pre-season to corn harvest—a ski that does it all.

 

Shape / Profile

Early-Rise Camber

Tip: Early-rise tip and wide shovel provide excellent float in powder.
Tail: Minimal taper, with a wide and flat hard-working tail for control in debris and harder conditions.
Waist: Long running length. Engineered for strong edging ability when fast and steep. Cambered underfoot for stability.

Voile HyperVector Skis Camber Profile

 

Construction

Paulownia / Double Carbon

Ultralight "Hyper Series" construction shaves nearly a pound per pair for easier ascents, with an additional layer of carbon for added stiffness.


Full-Perimeter Steel Edge

Two lengths of 2mm steel with inset teeth wrap the full perimeter of the ski. Each section meets at the outermost points of the tip and tail, and is painstakingly hand-bent to ensure a precise layup.

Anti-Ice Topsheet

Exceptionally durable polyamide, with an irregular texture that slows the accumulation of snow and allows easy removal of snow and ice build-up when the approach is long and/or conditions are freezing.

Double Reinforced Mounting Patch

Heel and toe mounting areas are double-reinforced to prevent binding pull out.

Voile Carbon-Weave x2

Two layers of our proprietary carbon fiberglass regulate the ski's flex without an impact on bonding strength.

Laminated Paulownia Wood Core

The lightest wood core offered in our line, with an impressive strength to weight ratio. Paulownia provides the ideal foundation for building a lightweight touring ski.

Sintered Black Base

This ski passes on the base graphics for the sake of an ultra-high molecular density base; making for faster downhill performance and greater wear/impact resistance.

Many claim that a black base increases a ski's maximum speed. Something about "snow melting faster," which apparently has the effect of "increasing lubrication." Sounds pretty nice, right? Of course, we don't really know if it's true... Regardless, you can rest assured that your p-tex repairs will be seamless after your day spent breaking the sound barrier.

Product Reviews

Lightweight, versatile AT ski
I'm 5'10", 160lbs, and ski the 177 HyperVector. It's a great lightweight ski with a versatile enough shape for ripping hardpack, getting some float through chop and soft stuff, and quickly getting from edge to edge in the steep steeps. HyperVector is a fitting name as this ski absolutely drives with both speed and direction. They are light and nimble while going uphill on the skintrack and are solid and stable on the descent. And the blue graphic is really pretty to look at.

Checks all the boxes
The HyperVector has been light enough for long tours, the progressive shape is fun and forgiving in soft snow, the flex is stiff enough to work well in firm snow, and the construction is durable enough to handle abuse, which is essential for skiing in Western Montana. My fears of the ski being too stiff, and that I would want a more playful shape (i.e. the V6) were unfounded, as the ski is super fun and lively, with the ability to hold an edge and ski fast. This has become my go-to ski.

A perfect match for the unknown
When I don't know exactly what conditions the day will bring, the HyperVector is my preferred ski. This versatility makes it a great choice for the mixed bag of conditions that are often found ski mountaineering. The HyperVector can seamlessly transition from wind-scoured high alpine conditions to soft sheltered powder, or sunny corn to shady refrozen conditions without missing a beat. I find it to be very comfortable on edge in firm consequential terrain. More often than not, if I am packing an axe and crampons for the day's mission, then the HyperVector is the ski I am going to chose. Not only is the light weight appreciated on the skin track and backpack, but is noticeable when conditions or constrictions require some precise hop turns. The HyperVector is a trusted companion that has been with me on some of my most exposed and committed adventures.
