K2 T:Nine One Luv M1 11.0 TC

The One Luv offers stability and versatility in a performance ski. While the 74mm waist provides stability, the Bioflex core ensures forgiveness when venturing through a variety of conditions and terrain. The MOD Technology and MOD Monic reduce unwanted vibrations and the M1 system allows for smooth transitions, guaranteeing any advanced-level skier an excellent ride.

Torsion Box Construction
Torsion Box construction is K2`s most widely used, yet simplest lay-up. This construction is a Triaxially braided wood core ski. Braided torsion Box skis tend to have lively and energetic characteristics that provided a high degree of rebound and performance. A Triaxially Braided wood core ski is still the bench mark and they continue to use it so widely because of it`s versatility and the ability to create so many different kinds of skis depending on the amount of flex and torsion designed into the construction.

MOD Technology
Praised by magazine tests and validated by skiers around the world, MOD Technology has proven to be the ultimate in ski design today. MOD combines an elastometric secondary core that works as a high-performance suspension system and mass damper to provide the highest degree of ease, power, forgiveness and performance available in skis today. The amount, application and distribution of mass are the keys to the success of MOD Technology. At K2, unlike any other manufacturer, our application of mass via the MOD structure does not affect flex, allowing the ski to perform freely while MOD absorbs unwanted vibrations independently.

MOD Monic
Fully integrated within the MOD structure, MOD Monic is an extension of MOD technology, focusing the benefits of mass dampening into a concentrated area. The entire surface of a ski benefits from the MOD structure, but some areas need it more than others. Independent studies at Boeing Laboratories determined precisely where to place the Monic by finding the area of the ski that would benefit the most from additional mass. By targeting a specific area, we aren`t needlessly adding weight. Monic allows for the majority of the MOD structure to be lightened, and have the extra mass focused precisely where it increase performance.

Triaxial Braided
Developed by K2 in 1988, Triaxial Braiding is still the best known process of applying fiberglass to a wood core. This process consists of sending a milled wood core through the patented Triaxial Braiding machine, where the core is wrapped by interlocking strands of fiberglass. This unique method produces skis that have a great deal of torsional rigidity and strength, while maintaining all the lively characterisitics of a wood core ski.

M1 Binding System
The K2/Marker M1 Ski-Binding System sets the standard for performance and integrated industrial design. Central to the design are the M1 titanium hubs that are imbedded into the core of the ski and enveloped in light weight composite housing. These fixed hubs allow for more balanced and centered points underfoot. By using fewer moving parts than conventional bindings, the M1 System allows for quicker, more efficient power transfer to your edges. Additionally, the design of the M1 toe and heel spacers are up to 30% wider than other rail systems thus extending binding contact points closer to the edge of the ski. This aspect increases leverage and power transfer. A fixed heel and floating toe drivers power down and forward while still allowing the ski to flex freely, in a more consistent round arc maximizing performance. State-of-the-art engineering and a sleek integrated design makes the K2 M1 a lighter, more powerful high performance system.

Bioflex Core
Working with the Alliance Team to further develop K2`s line of women-specific skis has lead to BioFlex, a breakthrough multi-wood core technology. Used exclusively on K2`s T9 series of skis, the combination of two distinctively different woods, fir and spruce, provide the best of two desired traits in a woman`s ski; stability and forgiveness. Not just different layers of wood, but completely different cores fused together at the tip and tail. Spruce, a light, soft, wood is used in the extremities of the tip and tail, and fir, a more solid, dense wood is used underfoot. The Spruce provides the turn initiation, lightweight characteristics, and overall ease that T9 skis have come to be known for. The Fir underfoot provides an all new level of confidence inspiring control, predictability and stability.Exclusive to the T9 line of skis, Bioflex core technology makes a giant leap in women-specific ski technology.
