The most versatile all mountain ski in the AMP collection, the AMP 80X couples liveliness & performance with the addition of All-Terrain  Ro X  Technology. A 80mm waist width can be just as nimble as other narrower skis. Core: Strength & Structure A K2 ski is designed with a primary core & structural layers that determine the flex along the entire length of the ski. MOD: Suspension Added on top of the ski’s primary core is a secondary core called the MOD structure, which essentially acts independently as a suspension system, quieting the ride of the ski. The key is that the MOD structure does not change the overall flex of the ski. Carbon Web: Increased Edge Hold A raised X-shaped pattern has been added to specific regions of the MOD structure to support a Carbon Web. This X-shaped carbon support is furthest from the core to increase torsional rigidity, for greater edge-hold & grip. It works independently of the primary core so the overall longitudinal flex is unchanged. Speed Rocker: Effortless Initiation & Accuracy The addition of Speed Rocker or All-Terrain Rocker makes turns effortless with greater accuracy & edge hold. The patented Triaxial Braiding machine interlocks strands of fiberglass around a milled core, resulting in great torsional strength while retaining the lively flex patterns inherent in a wood core ski. Hybritech is a unique blend of sidewall & cap constructions. The construction combines the accuracy, power, & performance of sidewall underfoot with the lightweight characteristics & smooth turn initiation of cap construction. High-Performance Suspension System MOD functions by absorbing vibrations & impact loads along the entire ski, providing stronger edge-hold & a higher degree of power & control. Mod is a secondary core that flexes & moves on top of the primary core, allowing the overall ski flex to be unaffected.  Enveloping the MOD structure with a carbon weave where the strands of carbon are laid at precise angles for an additional level of torsional rigidity on the secondary core. This keeps the ski light but gives you the additional torsional strength where you need it most. All-Terrain Rocker features an elevated tip for variable & soft snow performance, as well as camber underfoot for power, energy, & edge-hold in firmer conditions. Simply put, All-Terrain Rocker offers versatility & ease in all snow conditions. The K2/ Marker M3 is the ultimate ski/plate/binding system designed for recreational skiers. It utilizes a new Compact Toe & a fixed Compact 2 Heel design for control & quickness underfoot, with a 20% lighter design.

This supercharged version of the versatile 80X is built with titanal laminate construction for power, strength & unwavering stability at any speed. We have stocked K2 since we started the business & with the range & quality of their skis it is easy to see why.  Speak to any staff member & they own or would like to own at least one pair from the K2 range. This year K2 have kept their range of skis the same, but have concentrated on improving performance.  They have done this by using a new comprehensive build process where a skis top shape is redesigned to complement the side profile along the entire ski.  They have called this ‘ Baseline 2.0’ & K2 has managed to engineer skis for varied skier types & even different styles of skiing, while also finely tuning them for a specific snow condition.
