This year K2 have looked back over this 50 years of history & 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. Built with a forgiving flex & lightweight construction, the Superific makes graceful turns through varied conditions a walk in the park for women of all ages. The skis Bio Flex core installs confidence & controls without adding weight. Ski
Specification Geometry: 120mm / 76mm / 104mm Turn Radius: 14 metres at 166cm Terrain: All Mountain Orientated Core
Material: Aspen/ Paulownia/ Bamboo Woodcore Camber/ Rocker: All Terrain Rocker Technology: Triaxial Braid, Bio Flex 1 Core, MOD technology. Cap construction Bindings: Marker K2/ER3 10.0 Ski Features All Terrain Rocker (30% tip rocker): Designed for all ability levels with added versatility & ease in all snow conditions. 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. Triaxial Braiding: Triaxial braiding consists of braiding fiberglass around a wood core to provide torsional rigidity for added control. Developed in 1988 by K2 engineers, the patented triaxial braiding machine interlocks strands of fiberglass around a milled wood core. While flex & torsion vary depending on the wood, Triaxially braided skis share the common traits of ease, forgiveness, responsiveness, & energy in both expert & entry level skis. Bio Flex core: All K2 women’s skis use a combination of Aspen, Paulownia & Bamboo stringer in a unique core known as Bio Flex. A strong Aspen core underfoot is fused with lightweight Paulownia towards the tip & tail to reduce swing-weight. In 2012/13 K2 continued to develop three variations of the Bio Flex core specifically tuned to a target performance. This ski contains Bioflex 1: 60% aspen & 40% Paulownia
- Reduced swing weight with added forgiveness. 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: 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 Women’s-specific MOD Monic: 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 our women’s version. The women’s Mod Monic is designed to accent the overall look without sacrificing function Marker K2/ER3 System: The Marker ER3 (energy Response System) is designed for advanced & recreational skiers alike. The ER3 is also shorter & less stiff than the men’s system, allowing the ski flex to be smoother & reducing the weight by more than a half pound. This system utilizes a new 20% lighter compact toe & a fixed Compact 2 heel design to generate more power, precision & quickness underfoot. Cap Construction: Durable & lightweight “cap” skis are built by a sophisticated molding process that envelopes the core & internal materials with the top layer of the ski. Used throughout o
