Torsion Box – Torsion Box construction is the foundation for a wide range of skis designed by K2. Depending on the dimensions of the 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 of the construction enables K2 to build everything from entry-level through expert skis with this method. Torsion Box skis share common traits of ease, forgiveness, responsiveness, and energy.

Triaxial Braid – Triaxial braiding consists of braiding fiberglass around a wood core to enhance torsional rigidity and add control. Developed in 1988 by K2 engineers, the patented triaxial braiding machine interlocks strands of fiberglass around a milled wood core. This unique method produces skis with great torsional strength while maintaining the lively flex patterns inherent in wood.

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.

We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
