Volkl's Transfer 85 are new skis built upon the previous Pyra model - with a new look and design, they are targeted at intermediate to advanced female skiers who like to get in the park but also want versatility on-piste.
Whilst the versatility is there - they make good all mountain skis that love to carve on groomed slopes - they lacked a little spark in the park for our liking. Highly stable and therefore good on hardpack snow, the perform perfectly well on jumps and rails and any confident skier will handle them, but they felt more like all mountain skis than a park and pipe specialist.
Would suit a female skier who mostly skis on-piste but enjoys the odd foray into the park - also good in moguls and variable terrain.
