« Item   Item » K2 Apache Crossfire Skis / Marker Piston M1 Bindings ABS plastic sidewalls are light and rigid, creating superb edge hold. Designed for technical and expert skiers, the metal-laminate construction uses titanium alloy and extra glass layers for a stiff flex profile. Integrated binding systems allow the skis to flex naturally and fully from tip to tail for smooth turn initiation, hold and release. MOD Monic damping technology reduces unwanted vibrations at their source, creating a perfect balance between liveliness and damping. MOD technology doesn't affect flex, allowing the skis to bend freely while absorbing vibrations and increasing power, forgiveness and performance. MOD technology features an elastomeric secondary core which works as a high-performance suspension and damping system. Marker M1 12.0 integrated bindings (with titanium hubs imbedded into the core of the ski) provide enhanced balance with incredible control and feel. Metal-laminate construction delivers precise, accurate performance, and it's extremely stable and damps superbly. Pistons under the toe pieces damp unwanted vibrations by absorbing shock and controlling tip rebound. The evolution of the K2 Apache Crossfire continues with the new high-performance, all-mountain design, great for arcing turns on groomers. Tip shape increases the effective running surface when the ski is flexed in a turn. Tip shape translates into easy turn initiation and increased edge-to-snow contact, improving stability. Titan Technology removes titanium in a small hole pattern from the tip and tail, creating a light ski with noticeably low swing weight. Toe and heel spacers are 30% wider than other rail binding systems, placing contact points nearer the ski's edges for responsive edge control. Wide 70mm waist delivers added versatility to carve any mountain, any time; use the Crossfire 70% on-piste, 30% off. Wood core produces a natural flex, allowing the ski to achieve full contact with the snow throughout the turn. More info + price
