K2 Youth Comanche Jr. Skis
This ski is designed for the recreational all-mountain junior who is as comfortable on the groomers as they are in the bumps and crud. This junior ski can do it all and offers MOD Technology to dampen the ski from tip to tail for the smoothest ride possible.
Features:
- Recreational All Mountain Ski
- MOD Technology
- Torsion Box Cap Construction
- Triaxial Braiding
- Wood Core
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.
Torsion Box Technology
Torsion Box construction is the foundation for the widest range of skis designed by K2. Depending on the dimensions of a ski, and the amount of flex and torsion designed into it, one model of a Torsion Box ski can differ greatly from another. The versatility in the construction enables K2 to build everything from learning through expert level skis, sharing the common traits of ease, forgiveness, responsiveness, and energy that can be found in all Torsion Box skis.
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.
Wood Core
*only in sizes 146 and 153
A fir or fir/aspen core is used for its inherent strength, durability, and energy. A wood core, instead of foam, makes the ski more lively and responsive.
