This accommodates the anatomical fact that the center of mass for a woman is generally lower than that of a man. By moving the midsole forward, it places the center of mass of the average woman over the optimum area of the ski, allowing for more control and easier turn initiation. Bioflex Core Working with the Alliance Team to further develop their line of women specific skis has lead K2 to the Bioflex core, a breakthrough multi-wood core technology. A combination of two distinctly different woods, fir and spruce, provides a blend of stability and forgiveness in K2's women's skis. 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 easy turn initiation, lightweight characteristics, and overall ease that these skis have come to be known for. The Fir underfoot provides a new level of confidence inspiring control, predictability and stability. The 2008/09 core incorporates a bamboo stringer that runs down the center of the entire core for added toughness. The beauty of the Bioflex core is that it produces a lighter weight core which translates into skis that are easier to maneuver and cause less fatigue than a comparable men's size and model. Ladies Specific MOD Technology The shape of the MOD structure is sculpted to distribute mass in ways that ensure the smoothest ride. In both men's and women's skis, the MOD is thickest toward the center of the ski to insulate the skier from vibrations and tapers toward the tip and tail to minimize weight making the skis easier to maneuver. The optimum location and thickness of mass differs from men to women so we introduced different... Brand: K2 Color: Cream Item Length: 160cm Type: All-Mountain
