K2 Talkback 2014 Womens Skis (Skis Only)

Product Description

A lightweight touring ski that is as adept going up as it is descending virgin backcountry pow. Specifications Geometry: 124mm / 88mm / 108mm Turning Radius: 18 meteres @ 160cm Base Profile: All-Terrain Rocker Construction: Cap Construction with Bio Flex 2 Core Bindings: Ski Only Features & Benefits All-Terrain Rocker 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. 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 our ski line, cap constructions can be assembled with a variety of different cores. These variations, such as glass and/or metal materials, are the determining factors of the skis’ performance. Bioflex Cores All of K2’s women’s skis use cores that feature a combination of Aspen, Paulownia, & Bamboo. Bio Flex cores are comprised of strong Aspen wood underfoot, which is fused with lightweight Paulownia in the tip & tail using a specific interlocking pattern that reduces swing-weight & provides a smooth-flexing ski. For 2013/14, K2 continues to apply this technology through one of the following three variations of Bio Flex, each specifically tuned to target different performance goals. This ski has Bioflex 2 which is 70% Aspen / 30% Paulownia which reduces the swing-weight of the ski with added performance 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. Carbon Web 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. Snophobic Topsheet Since snow collecting on the ski can add pounds to a climb, our Sno Phobic tops keep you light with a new snow-repellent topsheet. The running surface along the bottom of a ski is hydrophobic by design, so we’ve developed a thinner version of the same material to use on the Back Side model-specific topsheets. Skin Grommets The new freeride tip & tail grommets are a clean, simple design that no longer requires a plug. The durable rubber coating disguises a slit designed to accommodate both the Z clip for our skin attachments, & the components to build a rescue sled. Torsion Box Torsion Box construction is the foundation for the widest range of skis designed by K2. Depending on the

Dimensions of a ski, & the amount of flex & torsion designed into it, one model of a Torsion Box ski can differ greatly from another. The versatility in the construction enables us to build everything from entry-level through expert skis. While there will be significant differences between skis, they do share the common traits of ease, forgiveness, responsiveness, & energy that can be found in all Torsion Box skis.
