K2 Luv Freeride

To the three sophisticated models with high quality technology for freeride ladies who want to enjoy powder rides, joins this winter new model "ThrilLUVit" with a center width of only 85 mm and a little more modest equipment. Now the ladies also have a model for use on the slopes with surf character.

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.

Bioflex Konic

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!

 

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.

Nano Lite

Super lightweight, low density, aviation level used.

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

Our metal laminate construction skis feature a lightweight titanium alloy that runs along the entire length of the ski in the upper and lower chords. These models are the highest quality skis with the most complex construction in the entire K2 ski collection. Starting from the base, this construction consists of alternating layers of fiberglass and titanium wrapped around a wood core. Metal laminate provides superior damping, as well as accurate and uncompromising performance for top sport all-mountain riders.

Tapered Tip/Tail

Our freeride stability ski is designed not only with a narrower tip, but also with a small amount of narrowing in the ski tip. A narrower ski tip moves the widest part of the contact area to the rear. This reduces the weight of the ski tip and steering in soft and variable snow conditions. The narrower shovel allows more control after the end of the turn to better accelerate out or steer, depending on slope conditions.
