K2 Konic, 2018/19

K2 Konic 2018/19

After last year's revision of the design of the Konic and iKonic models, some minor modifications have been made for this winter: Thus, the skis have been bent up a little less overall and have received a Speed Rocker instead of an Allmountain Rocker for 2018/19, which makes the skis faster and more grippy.

All models were examined for improvement possibilities, which has led to the fact that the model "Ikonic 84" has now also received a wooden core with Paulownia wood or the model "Konic 78" a core made of aspen wood. Here and there, shorter skis have also been taken out or a longer model has been put in. Overall, the concept has remained true to itself.

K2 ski technology

Konic technology

K2 has developed a completely new ski core concept with the new Konic technology. A dense core is installed on the sides of the ski, while a lightweight core is used in the middle of the ski. This improves edge grip, stability and power transmission when swinging in the area of the edges and reduces swing weight in the middle, making it easier to swing. Refined!

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

Metal laminate

The ski has a lightweight titanium alloy that runs along the entire length of the ski above and below the core. Only the highest quality ski models from K2 are equipped with this most complex structure. Starting from the base, this construction consists of alternating layers of fiberglass and titanium wrapped around the wood core. Metal laminate provides superior damping, stability, torsional stiffness and precise and uncompromising performance for sporty all-mountain skiers.

Speed Rocker

The Speed Rocker™ has a short and slight elevation of the shovel to increase the agility of the ski and allow quick turns between turns. It is therefore used to optimize skis when used on the slopes.

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.

Hybritech sidewall

Hybritech is the unique combination of a sidewall and a cap construction. It combines the precision, power and performance of a sidewall under the binding with the lightness and smooth turn initiation of a cap construction.

TwinTech sidewalls

A durable sidewall construction typically used on TwinTip skis that makes the ski durable and protects the topsheet from damage.

Carbon Spyne

The 35% stronger, new titanium insert runs over the entire surface in the middle area of the ski, but towards both ski ends only on the outer sides like a fork. A carbon insert is inserted into the gap of the fork (rear and front) in each case. It increases the power and responsiveness of the ski.

Exo Konic

Under the binding area is the new Exo Konic structure. The Exo-Konic structure is made of nano-composite and dampens unevenness of the terrain and therefore contributes to the best ride comfort in all snow conditions.
