The Subculture is brand new model for 2014 & features the new Lifted profile from K2. Taking a flat profile & lifting it creates a camber like profile that means the middle of the board is raised when it is not ‘loaded’ with the rider’s weight. Un-like camber, where the arch to the middle of the board gradually increases, Lifted provides a consistent (flat) base throughout. As with camber, this profile increases then tension & therefore ‘pop’ of the board once loaded with the easy ride of a flat profile. Think of it as ‘camber done right’. Specification: Profile: Precision Lifted (flat lifted) Running length: 124.38 Waist

Width: 25.20 Sidecut radius: 8.0 Setback: ¾ inch Flex: Not specified (Specification based on the 158cm board) Note: Topsheet & base graphic colours are size specific & may vary

Features: For a long time now K2 have built their boards around a flat profile (often with varying amounts of rocker at the nose & tail), the new Precision Lifted Baseline is an evolution of the flat profile. Essentially the flat section between the feet extends towards the contact points & is raised from the contact points at the tip & tail. This provides the pop of a camber board with the straight tracking & precision of a flat profile. K2 have flattened & extended the nose & tail to produce their trade mark Tweekends. This provides a larger platform by increasing the base contact right to the tips. This gives you a bigger & more stable platform for presses, landings & increased float in powder. With a sidewall that extends along the effective edge & flows into in the nose & tail Hybritech construction provides the benefits of low swing-weight, optimised turn initiation & durability. A Twin Hyper Progressive sidecut is an infinite blend of different radius designed to be responsive at high speeds but smooth enough for butters. The true twin shape of the board requires a twin sidecut so the board feels exactly the same whether it’s ridden regular or switch. Three species of renewable wood run tip-to-tail to make up the W2 Core. This construction provides optimised strength, weight reduction & dampening without additional materials. ICG10 has integrated carbon in a Triax fibreglass weave. The results are reduced overall weight, with an increase to pop & liveliness. The NEW Carbon Web I additive brings pop & snap closer to the bindings. Extending from the outermost binding inserts to the edges (in L shapes), Carbon Web transfers energy out to the parts of the board that really effect edge grip & turn initiation. 4000 Sintered Base is the fastest natural base material available. It Absorbs wax deeper & retains it for longer & is also exceptionally durable. In reality the Subculture is almost the opposite of what its name may suggest. Rather than going against the grain or being niche it has wide appeal which spans a number disciplines within snowboarding. Euro-carving, buttering, jumps, presses, straightlining – it’s got it covered. The Subculture is essentially a de-tuned Slayblade, so if you’re looking for a slightly less demanding board then the Subculture is the one. Is it for me?

The Super Burnin will set your skiing on fire, not your legs.  This expert women’s hard snow carving tool provides precision turning & edge hold on firm snow. This expert women’s hard snow carving tool provides precision turning & edge hold on firm snow.  Its narrow design & Speed Rocker ensures accurate, high performance transitions between turns & will result in quicker hot laps & flawless tracks. Women’s Super Model series are similar to the Men’s A.M.P. series; however these skis are designed specifically for women, by women.  With thinner steel edges, leaner strips as well as the usual K2 features of Bioflex cores, Women’s Specific Mod Structure & new for this year; forward shifted Sidecuts these skis are specifically engineered to match the unique requirements of the modern skier. A firm favourite with the Edge & Wax ski test team every season. FEATURES Core:   All of the K2 women’s skis use a combination of Aspen, Paulownia & Bamboo in a unique core known as Bio Flex, a process where a dense Aspen core underfoot is fused with lightweight Paulownia at the tip & tail to reduce swing-weight.  K2 developed this technology specifically for women; lightweight & easy to manoeuvre, yet sturdy & offering high-performance.  This has the Bioflex 3 core which is 80% Aspen & 20% Paulownia.  This means increased performance, strength & durability. Metal Laminate: K2 women’s metal laminate skis are built with a thinner strip of titanal than men’s skis.  Proportional to lighter weight women skiers, the thinner layer offers overall weight reduction while still proving expert-level skiers the benefits of performance & dampening, consistent with metal laminate construction. Hybritech Sidewalls:  Hybritech is a unique blend of sidewall & cap contractions.  The construction combines the accuracy, power & performance of sidewall underfoot with the lightweight characteristics & smooth turn initiation of cap construction. Mod Technology:  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.  The optimum location & thickness of mass differs from men to women.  The aesthetic look of the Mod shape has also been customized with a svelte & more stylized appearance that graphically ties into the design of the skis. Mod Monic:  A Focused Mass Dampener; The Monic is a solid zinc mass that works in conjunction with the Mod structure to focus mass-dampening at the targeted location.  Although the location for this targeted mass dampening is consistent between the men’s & Women’s models, the amount of focused mass is reduced in the women’s version.  The women’s Mod Monic is designed to accent the overall look without sacrificing function. Speed Rocker: Designed for firm snow. This slightly elevated tip & increased tip length provides effortless initiation & flawless transitions between turns, while camber along the rest of the running surface delivers the mist precision, power & edge-hold of any rocker category.

The K2 Superburnin is even better than ever with the addition of ROX Technology to help dampen the ski & add control, whilst lightening the whole ski. A precise carving performer designed specifically for ladies who want to etch perfect turns into the firmest & steepest runs at resort with ease. For 2014 the Superburnin has had an overhaul to make what was already a best seller even better. The key feature is ROX Technology & this ski features SPEED ROX. FEATURES & BENEFITS Rox Design
- The Rox design can clearly be seen at the tip & the tail of the ski, & it acts to dampen the nose & tail, whilst giving progressive torsional stiffness. It also acts to support the rocker of the ski, & each ski length has a modified ROX design to get the best from the given ski length. Carbon Webs
- Carbon web runs through the ROX system which absorbs trail buzz keeping the nose super stable as you lay down fast turns & don’t have to worry about nose chatter. Bio Flex 3 Full Wood Core – Underneath there is a women’s specific Bioflex wood core, with 3 densities of wood at the nose, the centre, & tail of the ski, to give the perfect blend of rebound, performance & light weight. Speed Rocker – 90% Traditional Camber with a 10% tip rocker for a stable nose & smooth turns with maximum & fastest edge engagement K2/ Marker ERC System

This is the perfect ski for the more aggressive female skier who wants the ultimate carving machine! Agile, fast & balanced. A fantastic ski, I have skied & owned various K2 Superburnin across 5 years now, & this I must say is the biggest change yet. The Superburnin was always targeted at expert piste skiers who want speed. However, it was perfectly adept under the feet of good intermediates too, looking to advance. This has now changed though, & this ski clearly suits an advanced & expert skier now who can already carve, & wants to get maximum speed & edge hold. This ski demands more input than previously, but put that effort in & it delivers amazingly fast turns. A beautifully balanced performance ski, & still a favourite for me although I now have to work a bit harder :o)
