K2 Luv Machine, 2018/19

K2 Luv Machine 2018/19

The counterpart to the men's Charger models on the slopes are also this winter the two Luv models of the "Luv Machine" series. But the models have been clearly revised and have been newly constructed with a Konic core with denser and heavier wood on the outsides. The shape has also been further optimized for women in line with the forward shift of the ski binding. The newly used additional carbon stiffens the ski and makes it more reactive and precise. The Speed Rocker provides the sporty character. The two models are made for female skiers who are sporty on the slopes.

K2 Ski Technologies

Speed Rocker

K2 has 5 sophisticated rocker types. The Speed Rocker stands for maximum precision and turning ability on hard snow. The slightly raised and slightly longer shovel ensures effortless turn initiation and fast edge changes. The preload along the rest of the running surface guarantees racing precision and 100% edge grip.

BIOkonic

To improve flex, edge grip and turning ability, the outer sides of the ski core are equipped with heavier and denser wood. By reducing the material in the center, the ski also becomes lighter. The performance of the ski is thus increased.

Stance Forward

This is not just about moving the mounting point of the binding forward, but about the overall optimization of the shape and sidecut to develop a perfectly balanced ski that harmonizes with the binding.

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.

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.
