K2 Factory Team 2018/19

Last winter there were three new models, new technologies and a merger of two lines, this winter it is quieter. The models of last winter have been taken over and have remained largely the same. Here and there a length was added, a dimension slightly changed and improved on details of the construction, without changing the overall look and essence. The skis were good and are good, Basta! For the best of the best in the disciplines of freeride and freestyle, these models are created.

K2 Ski Technologies

All terrain rocker

As the name suggests, this type of rocker from K2 stands for use in all types of terrain. The All-Terrain Rocker™ has a slightly raised shovel for optimum performance in variable and soft snow and enough preload under the binding for plenty of precision and edge grip on icy slopes and hard snow.

Powder Rocker

This is the rocker for deep snow - our widest skis get maximum lift from it at the shovel and "surf" over and through everything the terrain has to offer. The normal preload under the binding provides sufficient edge grip and control on harder snow and on the slopes.

Jib Rocker

For terrain park use, the raised ski tips combined with zero preload in the binding area provide the best blend of ollie power and playful handling and control for buttering and jib tricks.

Cap construction

"Cap" skis are manufactured using a sophisticated compression molding method in which the top layer of the ski envelops the core and internal materials. Cap skis are basically very durable and lightweight, which is why this technology is used in all series. Depending on the composition of the core material layers result in the different riding characteristics of each model.

TwinTech sidewall

This new Twin Tip specific construction increases the durability of sidewall skis. In a traditional sidewall construction, the top sheet and the side face are at a 90° angle to each other. This sharp angle is susceptible to damage. In contrast, the new Twin Tech construction overlaps the top sheet and sidewall, creating a flatter angle and better protecting the ski from damage.

Asymm Tip and Tail

The ski tip and shovel are asymmetrically shaped and also have a tapered shape while maintaining the same waist. This lengthens the effective inside edge and shortens the outside edge. This provides improved stability and more lift in deep snow; the ski tip and shovel are released more easily. This improves maneuverability in deep snow.

Carbon Boost Braid

Woven carbon mesh in the front of the ski and shovel provide additional momentum and rebound in critical areas.

Double Barrel

Dense core over the edge for long life combined with a less dense center core for reduced swing weight.

Park Flex

With the help of our athletes, K2 has developed a unique core profile that gives the ski tip and shovel a bending pattern with more pop, which improves grip. Designed for the park, this core has more flex quality in both ski tip and shovel, but gives the midsection a rock solid character to provide control and confidence.
