The K2 Superstitous Womens Skis are the best choice of expert-level women who charge the entire mountain & aren’t spooked by a blessing of new snow from mother nature. Sporting All-Terrain Rocker on the widest Super Model Chassis, the Superstitious provides top-notch performance in soft snow, both on & off-trail. Every Ski in the 2011/12 K2 collection combines tried & tested construction methods with a host of innovative features designed to maximize performance in any snow condition. K2’s Skis falls into a number of different categories; The K2 Womens Super Model series are similar to the Mens A.M.P. series; however these skis are designed specifically for women, by women. With thinner steel edges, leaner strips of Titanal & lighter weight bindings as well as the usual K2 features of Bioflex cores, Women’s Specfic Mod Structure & new for this year; forward shifted Sidecuts these skis are specifically engineered to match the unique requirements of the modern skier. FEATURES Core: All of the k 2 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 Laminte: 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 befits 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. 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 enhanced turn initiation & hard-snow performance. 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 our 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.
