K2 ski technology

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.

Catch-Free Rocker

A rocker technology for beginners: The elevation of the shovel and ski tail allows beginners easier turn initiation, stability during the turn and safe, effortless turn control. The ski glides effortlessly around turns, even at low speed, without the shovel or tail getting stuck in the snow and jamming.

Bioflex wood core

The BioFlex wood core is a wood core developed for women's skis, in which denser aspen wood is used in the side areas and the lighter Paulownia wood combined with a bamboo stringer is installed in the middle. This reduces the weight of the ski and makes it easier to turn in. In addition, the denser aspen wood on the side provides stability and good edge grip.

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.

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.

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
