K2 A.M.P. Aftershock Skis with Marker/K2 MX 14.0 Bindings 2012 - Wait... Did you feel that? It is just another skier thundering by you on the K2 Aftershock. Don't get left behind. The Aftershock from K2 returns this season charged up and ready to go. 86mm underfoot and K2's All Terrain Rocker (rocker in the tip with camber underfoot) the Aftershock specializes in powder, broken snow, crud, and bumps. The tip rocker keeps the tips floating in the soft and fluffy stuff, absorbs the negative energy that is caused by moguls and crud, and helps the ski initiate turns quicker on the hard pack. Not just a soft snow ski the Aftershock has a 17m turn radius, and Hybritech Sidewalls (cap construction in the tip and tail, with vertical sidewalls along the majority of the ski) to make it one of the more groomer friendly 85mm+ waisted skis out there. An aspen/paulownia wood core with metal laminates give the Aftershock lots of rebound, and torsional rigidity for even the heaviest of skiers. MOD and MOD Monic vibration dampening systems keep the ride smooth in the firmest snow conditions. The Aftershock from K2 can be used for the expert skier that does not want something wider, or the athletic intermediate who wants to spend more time in the ungroomed terrain. Features: Aspen/Paulownia Wood Core With Metal Laminates. Tip/Waist/Tail Widths: 130/86/114 (@174cm), Actual Turn Radius @ Specified Length: 17m (@174cm), Warranty: One Year, Type: All-Mountain Skis (75-90), Gender: Mens, What Binding is Included?: Marker/K2 MX 14.0, Construction Type: Cap/Sidewa

K2 Press Skis 2012 - 159 Review



K2 Press Skis 2012 - 159 Feature

  • Tip and Tail Hardware for Increased Durability
  • Jib Rocker
  • 60% Park 40% All Mountain
K2 Press Skis 2012 - The challenge comes out every year for ski manufactures to make inexpensive, durable park skis. K2 answers this year again with the Press. A feather light Triaxial braided cap construction has a low swing weight for ease of turning, and spinning off of jumps. The Press is a great all mountain ski for lighter weight skiers or kids that are ready for their first adult twin tip. 85mm underfoot give a solid landing platform for stomping landings, and soft or broken snow flotation. K2's Park Flex Pattern is softer in the tip and tail with some rigidity underfoot for ollies and butters on to rails or boxes. An Aspen wood core has plenty of snap for lightweight skiers for making smooth turns on the hard pack. Tip and tail hardware reduce the chances of splitting open the ski when landings are just a little too far forward or too far in the backseat. K2's Jib Rocker is slight tip and tail rocker with zero camber underfoot is designed just for the park skier. It blends playfulness for butters and pop for ollies. The K2 Press is a great ski for aspiring park superstars, kids who are ready for their first adult twin, or the lightweight park skier looking for something to use for rails and urban riding. . Tip/Waist/Tail Widths: 113/85/104 (@179cm), Actual Turn Radius @ Specified Length: 23m (@179cm), Warranty: One Year, Type: Freestyle Skis, Gender: Mens, What Binding is Included?: N/A, Construction Type: Cap, Core Material: Wood, Base Material: Extruded, Tail Profile: Twin, Special Feat
