K2 T: Nine Burnin' Luv Downhill Skis with M1 11.0 Ti Bindings - Women's

Description

Praised for its extraordinary performance year after year, the Burnin Luv continues to be an all-mountain favorite for expert-level women. Built mainly for ripping groomers, this ski will also perform surprisingly well in the crud. Include metal laminate and an agile sidecut, and you are guaranteed power and quickness.

Features:

• PERFORMANCE: Intermediate to Advanced
• DIMENSIONS: 115/68/99
• 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. Build from top down: Glass, MOD Structure, Glass, Triaxial Braided Wood Core, Glass,Steel Edges/Base.
• Metal Laminate ABS Sidewall: With two sheets of titanium alley running the length of the ski, Metal Laminate skis are the highest performance, most complex construction available from K2. Built from the base up, this construction consists of alternating layers of fiberglass and titanium surrounding a wood core. While less forgiving than a Torsion Box construction, Metal Laminates provide damp, accurate, unshakeable performance, ideal for expert-level all-mountain and race skis.
• MOD Monic: 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.
