Dark Matter Technology
Injected TPU inserts, weighted with powdered stainless steel, are integrated into the core at enhanced stability points. These locations are fine-tuned to each model and size to amplify performance and purpose. |
| Enhanced Stability Points
Enhanced Stability Points reinforce critical areas of the ski to improve edge grip and torsional control. By strengthening high-load zones, K2 increases confidence and predictability during aggressive turns. This technology helps skis track more consistently at speed and through variable terrain, delivering a planted feel without adding unnecessary stiffness or weight.
|
|
| Titanal I-Beam
Titanal I-Beam construction reinforces the ski with a central Titanal laminate shaped to maximize strength and precision. This design enhances torsional stiffness and power transfer while maintaining smooth flex. The result is improved edge grip, stability, and control, ideal for frontside and all-mountain skis built for confident carving.
