K2 Apache Jr. Downhill Skis 07-08

Description

• PERFORMANCE: Advanced
• DIMENSIONS: 95/70/91
• Torsion Box Construction: The 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. Built with a Triaxially Braided wood core, this construction is relatively simple (cheap) when compared to a metal laminate ski. Because of the versatility in this construction, Torsion Box constructions can be used to build everything from learning to expert skis. While there will be significant differences between a hellbent and a True Luv, they do share the common traits of ease, forgiveness, responsiveness, and energy that can be found in all Torsion Box skis.
• MOD Technology: Praised by magazine tests and validated by skiers around the world, MOD Technology has proven to be the ultimate in ski deign today. MOD combines an elastomeric secondary core that 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. The amount, application and distribution of mass are keys to the success of MOD Technology. At K2, unlike any other manufacturer, our application of mass via the MOD structure doe not affect flex, allowing the ski to perform freely while MOD absorbs unwanted vibrations independently.
• Triaxial Braided: Developed by K2 in 1988, Triaxial Braiding is still the best known process of applying fiberglass to a wood core. This process consists of sending a milled core through the patented Triaxial Braiding machine, where the core is wrapped by interlocking strands of fiberglass. This unique method produces skis that have a great deal of torsional rigidity and strength, while maintaining all the lively characteristics of a wood core ski.
