Compare two models
How they compare
The Volkl Nanuq uses a flat shape while the Volkl V-Werks Katana is twin tip. The Volkl Nanuq has a hybrid (rocker/camber) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Volkl V-Werks Katana uses rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel).
