The Deacon 80 was a ripper! New for this year, Volkl added the 80 and 84 width to the Deacon lineup. I love the added width because it allows for so much more consistent turns in mixed snow conditions. Skiing this on a day that was mostly hardpack, it kept up with skis that are much more like it's big brother the Racetiger. I enjoyed the flex pattern of the Deacon 80 because it allowed for easy transitions between full on carving GS turns to more skidded parallel style turns. If you're looking for a slightly stiffer version, go for the Deacon 84 as it's got a titanal frame.

Our Take On The 2024 Volkl Deacon 80:

The Volkl Deacon 80 offers frontside carving performance, without demanding Bode Miller and Mikaela Shiffrin athleticism. Fitting right in the middle of the Deacon family from Volkl, the Volkl Deacon 80 features many high-performance features like their 3D.Ridge, 3D.Glass, and Glass Frame, without the extra rigidity of metal (like in the Deacon 84). You'll still get plenty of edge grip on frighteningly firm snow, and the glass reinforcements do plenty of work to keep the skis riding damp and smooth when snow conditions are less than perfect. Volkl's unique 3D Sidecut Radius allows you to play with both ripping GS style arcs, or quicker more slalom-like turns. Tip rocker keeps turns easy to initiate, no matter where you find yourself on the mountain. We love the Volkl Deacon 80 for advancing intermediates looking for a big step up, all the way to advanced skiers who like a lively ride. For a bit more rigidity for aggressive riding, check out the Volkl Deacon 84.
