K2 Ladies T:Nine Sweet Luv Ski w/ M2 10.0 Binding

The Sweet Luv is best known for its huge sweet spot and versatility. Its forgiving nature is the result of combining a torsion box construction and Bioflex core. With a softer tip and tail, the beginner/intermediate skier is able to easily initiate a turn and comfortably ski down any slope.

FEATURES:

SKI

TORSION BOX CONSTRUCTION -
K2`s Torsion Box construction is their most widely used, yet simplest lay-up. The construction is a triaxially braided wood core ski. Braided Torsion Box skis tend to have lively and energetic characteristics that provide a high degree of rebound and performance. A triaxially braided wood core ski is still the benchmark and K2 continues to use it so widely because of it`s versatility and it`s ability to create so many different kinds of skis depending on the amount of flex and torsion.
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, provides 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.
TRIAXIAL BRAIDING -
Triaxial Braiding was introduced by K2 in 1988 and has withstood the test of time to rise to the top as the best torsion box construction process available. The patented and proprietary technology wraps an interlocking fiberglass weave around the ski`s wood core at a 38 degree angle to produce skis that have a great deal of torsional rigidity and strength, while maintaining all the lively characteristics of a wood core ski.
MOD TECHNOLOGY -
MOD is basically an application of mass to the ski in order to quiet and dampen the ride. Traditional dampening methods consisted of simply increasing the thickness and flex of the ski`s core, getting damping benefits, but at the sacrifice of ease and forgiveness. What`s unique about Mod is the mass is applied as a secondary core, independent from the traditional, primary wood core. With this fine tuned amount of mass added separately, both cores can flex or move on top of one another. This allows overall ski flex to be unaffected, retaining ease, versatility, and liveliness, while greatly reducing vibrations and chatter.

BINDING

M2 BINDING SYSTEM
The M2 is an integrated binding technology engineered by K2 and Marker utilizing design attributes of the IBX system from the past. The M2 is designed for high performance and recreational skiers alike, utilizing a floating toe and fixed heel design to generate more power, precision, and quickness underfoot. The M2 system`s sleek design is graphically integrated into the look of the ski in both the Comanche and T:Nine series.
