Powder Rocker
The tip has the most elevation and longest measurement of Rocker and offers skiers a surfy feel with enhanced soft-snow performance. The camber region still exists to ensure edge-hold on firmer conditions.
Triaxial Braiding
Triaxial Braiding was developed by K2 in 1988 and is still the best way to apply fiberglass to a wood core. This process consists of sending a milled wood core through the patented Triaxial Braiding machine, where interlocking strands of fiberglass wrap the core. This unique method produces skis that have a great deal of torsional or twist rigidity and strength, while maintaining the lively innate flex characteristics of its wood core.
Powder Specific Tip
The widest point of this tip is the forward contact point as opposed to 7cm in front of it like most of K2`s shaped skis. This design makes the ski more stable and predictable because it wonÕt hook or grab erratically in windblown snow and other variable conditions that you`re likely to encounter in the backcountry.
Twin Tech Sidewalls
This new Twin Tip specific construction process increases the durability of sidewall skis. A traditional sidewall construction produces a 90 degree angle where the top material and sidewall meet. The Twin Tech construction actually rolls the top material into the sidewall reducing the angle that is prone to abuse.
Absorb-ABS Urethane Hybrid Sidewalls
This horizontal sidewall construction sandwiches a urethane layer in between ABS for shock ABSorption, lessening the impact of harsh landings and blows to the rider. The urethane is only used under foot to maximize the dampening but ABS is used toward the tip and tail to maximize performance and control.
Directional Taper
Moderately wider tip than tail maximizes the skis performance in the forward direction. This means the ski makes a slightly different arc when skiing switch.
Plates and Rivets
K2 tip and tail rivets have evolved to allow the addition of a pre-cut climbing skin onto the ski for all your backcountry access needs.
3.5 mm Edges
Factory Team skis use thick, durable steel edges. It is far more resistant to cracking for a more durable, longer lasting ski.
