K2 Potion

K2 Potion

The counterpart to the Männlichen AMP model line in the all-mountain segment is the Potion model line. K2 was the driving force when it came to making rocker technology and all-mountain skis palatable to a broad mass, when no one wanted to know anything about it. It is clear that, in addition to persuasion, this also requires very high-quality technology. K2 has also always had a lot to offer for the ladies. Accordingly packed with the latest technologies are the all-mountain models Potion of the 2014/15 season. To the Hybridtech sidewalls, metal laminates, Triaxial Braid, different wood or composite cores, three different rocker types and different bindings are added. This has resulted in an extremely versatile range of cutting-edge all-mountain skis that meet all possible requirements of the ladies.

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.

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.

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.

Bioflex wood core

The BioFlex wood core is used in the K2 Women skis and combines the different flex properties of aspen, paulownia and bamboo. The harder aspen wood provides stability and power under the binding, while the lighter paulownia wood at the shovel and ski end provides easy turn initiation, lighter weight and easy handling. There are 3 different BioFlex cores: bioflex 1 - 60% Aspen and 40% Paulownia - forgiving and light bioflex 2 - 70% Aspen and 30% Paulownia - light weight and strong performance bioflex 3 - 80% Aspen and 20% Paulownia - highest performance, power and durability

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

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.
