  • Catch Free Rocker

    Catch Free Rocker

    ROCKER: Easy initiation, versatility, agility
    CAMBER: Control, edge-hold, rebound

    This elevated tip and tail assures effortless initiation at slow speeds, stability throughout the turn, and a predictable release from the turn.

    Simply put, Catch-free Rocker provides confidence, control, and ease for developing skiers.
  • Grom Approved Noodle Technology

    Grom Approved Noodle Technology

    The Noodle Ski System is a totally unique technology for the Groms series. The disadvantage in most junior skis is the stiffness of the overall ski due to minimum thickness required to retain binding screws. With the Noodle Tech binding system, the plate is actually fused to the ski, requiring no screws, so the thinner core provides a smooth-flexing ski. That means better comfort and control for a junior skier and, ultimately, more fun.
  • Composite

    Composite

    A full composite construction created using a patented shaft production process. This unique process aligns all fibers in an orientation of optimal strength and duability.
  • Directional Taper

    Directional Taper

    Moderately wider tip than tail maximizes the skis performance in the forward direction. This means the ski makes a slightly different arc when skiing switch.
  • Cap Construction

    Cap Construction

    Durable and lightweight “cap” skis are built by a sophisticated molding process that envelopes the core and internal materials with the top layer of the ski. Used throughout our ski line, cap constructions can be assembled with a variety of different cores. These variations, such as glass and/or metal materials, are the determining factors of the skis’ performance.
  • Torsion Box Technology

    Torsion Box Technology

    Torsion Box construction is the foundation for the widest range of skis designed by K2. Depending on the dimensions of a ski, and the amount of flex and torsion designed into it, one model of a Torsion Box ski can differ greatly from another. The versatility in the construction enables us to build everything from entry-level through expert skis. While there will be significant differences between a DarkSide and a MissConduct, they do share the common traits of ease, forgiveness, responsiveness, and energy that can be found in all Torsion Box skis.

    Comments about K2 Skis Luv Bug:

    Bought a pair of these for my 4 yr old daughter (88 cm) as her first pair of downhill skis. These are great! Very easy for her to turn. (As she says when asked what she likes best about her skis: "They turn good.") It's remarkable how well they carve and they also float well in deeper snow.
