    All-Terrain Profile
  • Twin Tech Sidewalls

    Twin Tech Sidewalls

    This new Twin Tip specific construction process increases the durability of sidewall skis. A traditional sidewall construction produces a 90-degree angle where the top material and sidewall meet. The Twin Tech construction actually rolls the top material into the sidewall reducing the angle that is prone to abuse.
  • SchizoFrantic Inserts

    SchizoFrantic Inserts

    The K2 inserts allow for super fast mounting of the new K2/Marker Griffon and Squire SchizoFrantic binding system without the need for drilling. Additionally, the increased surface area of the insert rings provides 67% more pullout strength than that of standard binding screws. The Schizo binding itself uses the tested and proven Triple Pivot Elite toe and Inter Pivot Heel with an ultra lightweight, low stand height track and cable system that enables you to mount once and adjust a full 6cm along the ski from core center for the park to traditional center for powder.
  • ABSorb - ABS /Urethane Hybrid Sidewalls

    ABSorb - ABS /Urethane Hybrid Sidewalls

    This horizontal sidewall construction sandwiches a urethane layer in between ABS for shock ABSorption, lessening the impact of harsh landings to the rider. Urethane is used under foot to maximize dampening, but ABS is used toward the tip and tail to maximize performance and edge control.
  • Bi-Directional Taper

    Bi-Directional Taper

    The tip is still wider but closer in width to the tail. This allows the ski to perform exceptionally well while skiing in the forward direction but the taper enables the skier to have similar switch arc for better and more consistent switch riding.
  • Plates and Rivets

    Plates and Rivets

    K2 tip and tail rivets have evolved to allow the addition of a pre-cut climbing skin onto the ski for all your backcountry access needs.
  • 3.5 mm Edges

    3.5 mm Edges

    Factory Team skis use thick, durable steel edges. It is far more resistant to cracking for a more durable, longer lasting ski.
  • Triaxial Braiding

    Triaxial Braiding

    Triaxial braiding consists of braiding fiberglass around a wood core to provide torsional rigidity for added control. Developed in 1988 by K2 engineers, the patented triaxial braiding machine interlocks strands of fiberglass around a milled wood core. While flex and torsion vary depending on the wood, Triaxially braided skis share the common traits of ease, forgiveness, responsiveness, and energy in both expert and entry level skis.

Comments about K2 Skis Recoil:

The all terrain rocker is perfect on this ski. I am able to go through any type of snow with a smooth ride. A little heavy but will be easy to get used to after using it for a while. Great on hitting jumps with a soft landing and excellent in the park. Great ski for the whole mountain.
