The Sweet Luv is best known for its huge sweet spot versatility. Its forgiving nature is the result of combining a Torsion box construction and Bioflex core. With a softer tip and tail, the beginner/intermediate skier is able to easily initiate a turn and comfortable ski down any slope
Description
Count on the K2 Women's Sweet Luv Alpine Ski to provide smooth, easy turns in any snow conditions. K2 designed these all-mountain skis to give intermediate women skiers stability and control whether they're floating the fluff, carving the 'roy, or dicing icy groomers. The secret to the Sweet Luv Alpine Ski is a Triaxial-braided BioFlex wood core that increases torsional stiffness to enhance edge control, without compromising flex. The Sweet Luv Alpine Ski also uses an additional MOD core to act like a shock absorber and increase stability in the chop. Price includes skis only.

Torsion Box: Our Torsion Box construction is our most widely used, yet simplest lay-up. This construction is a Triaxially braided wood core ski. Braided Torsion Box skis tend to have lively and energetic characteristics that provide a high degree of rebound and performance. A Triaxially Braided wood core ski is still the bench mark and we continue to use it so widely because of its versatility and its ability to create so many different kinds of skis depending on the amount of flex and torsion designed into the construction.

MOD Technology: Praised by magazine tests and validated by skiers around the world, MOD Technology has proven to be the state-of-the-art in ski design today. MOD combines an elastomeric secondary core which works as a high performance suspension system and mass damper to provide the highest degree of ease, power, forgiveness and performance available in skis today. Mass is the most effective dampener available. The amount, application and distribution of mass are the keys to the success of MOD Technology. At K2, unlike any other manufacturer, our application of mass, via the MOD structure, does not affect flex, allowing the ski to perform freely, while MOD absorbs unwanted vibrations independently. Keynotes: • Secondary core independent of wood core. • Dampens vibrations without affecting overall ski flex. • Reduces chatter, vibrations and overall ski noise. • Aids in better ski-to-snow contact.

Triaxial Braided: Triaxial Braiding was introduced by K2 in 1988 and has withstood the test of time to rise to the top as the best torsion box construction process available. The patented and proprietary technology wraps an interlocking fiberglass weave around the skis wood core at 38 degrees to provide a strong, lightweight ski with optimum torsional stiffness. The end result is a ski with greater sensitivity and better turn response with less effort.

BioFlex core: Working with the Alliance Team to further develop our line of women-specific skis has lead to BioFlex—a breakthrough multi-wood core technology. Used exclusively on our T:Nine series of skis, the combination of two distinctively different woods, fir and spruce, provide the best of two desired traits in a woman's ski—stability and forgiveness. Not just different layers of wood, but completely different cores fused together at the tip and tail. Spruce, a light, soft, wood is used in the extremities of the tip and tail, and fir, a more solid, dense wood is used underfoot. The Spruce provides the turn initiation, lightweight characteristics, and overall ease that T:Nine skis have come to be known for. The Fir underfoot provides an all new level of confidence inspiring control, predictability and stability. Exclusive to the T:Nine line of skis, Bioflex core technology makes a giant leap forward in women-specific ski technology.
