• Torsion Box Construction: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.
• Bioflex Fur/Spruce 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.
