K2 Youth Luv Bug Skis
The Luv Bug is a girl`s specific recreational all-mountain ski. This ski comes with a triaxially braided foam core and MOD Technology for comfort and control. The ski is designed with the same style as the rest of the T:Nine line, just much smaller and cuter.
Features:
- Little Ladies` Specific Recreational All Mountain Ski
- MOD Technology
- Torsion Box Cap Construction
- Triaxial Braiding
- Wood Core
MOD Technology
MOD technology incorporates a secondary core applied for a smooth ride.
MOD is an integrated high performance suspension system, and mass dampener. It functions by absorbing vibrations and impact loads in all types of snow conditions providing stronger edge hold and a higher degree of power and control. MOD is unique because mass is applied as a secondary core independent from the traditional, primary wood core. With mass added separately, both cores can flex or move on top of one another allowing the overall ski flex to be unaffected. Additionally, the ski retains 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.
Cap Construction
Cap skis are built with a sophisticated molding process that envelops the core and internal materials with the top layer of the ski. Capped skis share the common characteristics of being very durable and lightweight.The construction process is nearly identical for an entry and expert level ski. What determines the characteristics of the ski are the variations in the layers of the core materials. For this reason, cap skis can be used for just about any type of skiing and performance level.
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.
