K2 Ski 2015/16

For years, K2 has been a leader in the all-mountain sector and in the early days was one of the pioneers who popularized rocker technology in the market. K2 was a driving force when it came to making all-mountain skis with rocker palatable to a broad mass, when no one wanted to know anything about it. All of K2's rocker technologies are simply top-notch. This winter, K2 expands its all-mountain range with the iKonic or Konic models, which feature revolutionary technology. Special to the story is the concept of the ski core, which is lighter in the middle of the ski and denser and heavier on the outer sides, which should improve stability, control and power transmission in the turn and improve turn initiation due to the lighter ski center. In this regard, the "iKonic" models have a wood core, while the "Konic" models have a composite core. Year after year, K2 delivers impressive advancements for the enjoyment of skiers.

When it comes to freeriding, the K2 brand is one of the first places to turn to find a hevorragenden ski in this category. This winter K2 introduces the new line Pinnacle with three models that have a flat, elongated rocker on the shovel and tail of the ski. Excitingly, these models also feature the new Konic technology like the all-mountain models. Two models have a super-light composite core - NANOlite technology - from space technology with lower density, which facilitate the swing-in. In the side area, the strong wood core provides edge grip and stability. They look great, are equipped with cutting-edge technology and guarantees surfing through the powder with a high fun factor, what more do freeriders want!

With the models Wayback 82 "ECOre" comes a new model to it as the starting point of a new generation of touring skis, which has a core of balsa wood and flax fiber, saving 10% weight.

The counterpart to the male AMP model range in the piste-oriented all-mountain segment is represented in winter 2015/16 by the two Luv models "Luv Machine" and "Tainted Luv". As the leading brand when it comes to all-mountain skis and rocker technology, K2 has been quick to bring to market women's skis that are equally suited to women's anatomy and technologically on par with those for men. A new women's ski designed for this winter, the Channel Light Core, illustrates that K2 places a lot of emphasis on the highest level of technology in women's skis as well. The two models are made for the racy female skier who is at home on the slopes. The skis are fast, precise and glide gracefully even on soft snow.

"Bringing back the luv again" is the motto of K2 this winter. Numerous women's models therefore contain the term "luv" in their name. Luv, of course, stands for love.
