K2 Freestyle Men
K2 is the brand among the major ski brands that is particularly successful in the theme of "fun on the mountain", so it is strong in the segments of all-mountain, freeride and touring. The three freestyle models have a strong turn initiation and effective pop and are designed not only for use in the park but also for skiing fun on the whole mountain.

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.
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.
Triaxial Braiding
Triaxial Braiding was developed by K2 in 1988 and is still considered the best process for joining fiberglass to a wood core. In this process, a pre-treated wood core is passed through a patented Triaxial Braiding machine, which wraps it with pre-braided fiberglass strands. This unique method produces skis with perfectly tuned torsional stiffness, and a forgiving character, without sacrificing the dynamics and lively flex of the wood core
