K2 Aftershock 2013 Skis With MX14 Bindings

This year K2 have looked back over this 50years of history and drawn the best ideas together to produce a great range of skis.  By combining proven shapes with optimal profiles K2 have managed to design their entire 2012/13 collection specifically for where you ski on the mountain. Being the widest ski in the A.M.P. model line, the Aftershock thrives in soft and chopped conditions. Although it excels off the groomed runs, it still has enough hard snow performance and power to carve trenches in firm pistes   Ski Specification Geometry:  130mm / 86mm / 114mm Turn Radius: 17 metres at 174cm Terrain: All Mountain Orientated Core Material: Aspen/Paulownia Woodcore Camber/Rocker: All Terrain Rocker Technology: Hybritech sidewall, Metal Laminate, Progresssive Sidecut, MOD technology.
Bindings: Marker K2/MX 14.0   Ski Features All Terrain Rocker (30% tip rocker): Designed for all ability levels with added versatility and ease in all snow conditions.  All-Terrain Rocker features an elevated tip for variable and soft snow performance, as well as camber underfoot for power, energy and edge-hold in firmer conditions. Marker K2/MX binding system: Working in conjunction with the integrated hubs, the Marker K2/MX provides unmatched precision and control on their highest-end A.M.P. models.  The system uses Markers Inter-pivot heel technology and lightweight Triple-Pivot Comfort MX toe.  This toe comes with a cross-mounted spring, stainless steel AFD and backward release function. Hybritech sidewalls:  Hybritech is a unique blend of sidewall and cap constructions.  The
construction combines the accuracy, power and performance of sidewall underfoot with the lightweight characteristics and smooth turn initiation of cap construction. Metal Laminate: Built with two sheets of lightweight Titanal running the length of the ski, metal laminate skis are the highest performing and most complex construction available from K2.  Built from the base up, a metal laminate construction consists of alternating layers of fibreglass and Titanal above and below the wood core.  Metal-laminates provide dampening, accurate, unshakable performance ideal for expert-level skiers. MOD Monic: The Monic is a solid zinc mass that works in conjunction with the Mod structure to focus mass-dampening at a targeted location. MOD technology: MOD functions by absorbing vibrations and
impact loads along the entire ski, providing stronger edge-hold and a higher degree of power and control.  Mod is a secondary core that flexes and moves on top of the primary core, allowing the overall ski flex to be unaffected. Mens’s - Spedific MOD structure: The optimum location and thickness of mass differs from men to women.  The mens’s Mod structure is more X-shaped. Distributing mass to the perimeter for increased edge-hold forward of the bindings. Progressive Sidecut: Progressive sidecut is a combination of two different radii, or sidecuts, that enhance the versatility of wider-waist skis. Standard sidecut theory is based on using a single radius. This works well on narrower skis, but becomes overpowering on wider skis, especially in variable conditions. The use of
progressive sidecut on wider-waist skis guarantees improved turn initiation and hard-snow performance.
