K2 Luv Precision

The counterpart to the men's Charger models on the slopes are also this winter the two Luv models "Luv Machine" and "OneLuv". Here, a Bioflex wood core made of fir wood on the sides and the light Paulownia wood and bendable bamboo in the middle is also used in 2017/18. The Luv Machine model adds titanal inserts above and below the ski core, while the OneLuv model adds fiberglass wrapping around the ski core. The Speed Rocker provides the sporty character. Both models are made for female skiers who are sporty on the slopes.

K2 ski technology

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.

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.

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 Braid

The Triaxial Braid 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 a ski with perfectly tuned torsional stiffness, and a forgiving character, without sacrificing the dynamics and lively flex of the wood core.

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.
