K2 is all about serious fun. Shenanigans and silly antics are an everyday occurrence at K2 HQ. If you’ve ever skied on K2 skis, and we bet you have, you’ll know that fun attitude translates directly into their products. K2 makes high performance, yet forgiving skis. Whether you’re headed out to the resort or into the backcountry, K2 has a ski for you. Let’s take a gander at the line up of 2016 K2 skis!
\n\"K2<\/a>
\nNext year K2 will introduce the Konic series. These will take the place of the popular AMP series (like the AMP Rictor 82XTi). These skis will encompass all the aspects of the AMP series and the Recon series that skiers have adored for so long. The Konic series uses a new core which reduces swing-weight from the center and extremities for added ease and control while still giving you strength, stability, and power. You’ll also see that the tip and tail are tapered to shift the contact points reduce material-use. In the above picture (from left to right) we have the iKonic 85Ti, iKonic 80Ti, and iKonic 80.<\/p>\n

\"K2<\/a>
\nFor the speed-demons in the house, (pictured from left to right) the AMP Bolt, AMP Charger, and AMP Velocity are back.<\/p>\n

\"K2<\/a>
\nThe women’s Freestyle Collection give you playful and surfy performance in all types of conditions are terrain. Pictured above from left to right are the Remedy 112, Remedy 102, and Remedy 92.<\/p>\n

\"K2<\/a>
\nAlso don’t forget about the popular park and pipe skis: the Missconduct and the Empress (pictured to the far right).<\/p>\n

\"K2<\/a>
\nThe men’s Freestyle Collection holds strong with (pictured left to right) the Pettitor, Shreditor 112, Shreditor 102, Domain, Sight, and Press.<\/p>\n

\"K2<\/a>
\nFor the backcountry enthusiasts, the Coomback and Talkback skis are still going strong in K2’s line. What’s not to like? These skis are lightweight, shed snow with their snophobic topsheet, and are rigid enough for the variable conditions in the less-tracked slopes.<\/p>\n

\"K2<\/a>
\nThe new Pinnacle Series is the next evolution of freeride in large part to pro skier Seth Morrison. The Pinnacle skis use Konic wood cores, tapered tip and tails, and the narrower ones have NANOlite which is a composite in the center of the ski for ease and control. Skis pictured above (left to right) are the Pinnacle 118, Pinnacle 105, and Pinnacle 95.<\/p>\n

\"K2<\/a>
\nIn the Women’s All Mountain category, the Luv is back! K2 focuses on producing products that are designed, tested, approved, and marketed by women. These skis have similarities to the Supermodels but now have a lighter construction due to Channel Light Core technology. Some other differences are that the tips are tapered and overall these skis are wider. Pictured above (left to right) are Luv Machine 74Ti, OoolaLuv 85Ti, and Luv Sick 80Ti.<\/p>\n

\"K2<\/a>
\nPictured above (left to right) are the Luv Struck 80, Beluved 78Ti, Luvit 76, and Luv 75.<\/p>\n

\"K2<\/a>
\nTaking the place of the widest Potions, the Freeride Luv skis are here. Pictured above (left to right) are the Luv Boat 108 and FulLUVit 98Ti.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
