2010 Gear Preview: K2 Extreme

K2 Extreme

Well… My hats off to you K2. You have done it again and created another amazing park ski!

How do you make an already ripping ski rip even harder? You do several things. First, you change the graphics and give them a little face lift. Gotta stick with times and always have something new to compete with the rest of the market.(Even though last years graphics on the Extreme is one of the best ski graphics ever!) Second, you add a whole new binding system to the ski. The new Extreme comes with the new Schizofrantic system from Marker. (The ski is also sold flat if you want to choose the binding you put on.) But why is this system so sweet? Let me elaborate…The Schizofrantic system comes with inserts in the ski (like a snowboard) and allows for super fast mounting of the new K2/Marker Griffon binding without any drilling required in the ski. The Schizo binding itself uses the tested and proven Triple Pivot Elite toe and Inter Pivot Heel with an ultra lightweight, low stand height track and cable system that allows you to mount once and adjust a full 6cm along the ski. Pretty Sweet! The insert patterns allow you to ski at core center for optimal park and switch performance and move the whole binding back 6cm to a more traditional binding mount position for powder or softer snow performance. Park. Check. Powder. Check. Anywhere in between. Check. You now have the ultimate one ski quiver. It doesn’t stop there though. This is my favorite part! The increased surface area of the insert rings provide twice the pullout strength of standard binding screws. (I have ripped bindings off of the last 4 pairs of skis I have ridden, some even with helicoils, and will be making the switch this season to fully test this.) I have faith!

The Schizo technology will also be available on the Hellbent, obSETHed, and Kung Fujas. (Reviews on these skis coming soon.)

That is enough about the new bindings though…back to the ski.

K2 qoutes that “This Legendary ski is the most functional in-bounds twin tip we have ever built!” and they continue to go on and say “The Extreme has the confidence and stability to rip any terrain and it has the torsional strength and durability to handle the toughest of landings and the most punishing abuse in the park. Emulate PK Hunder’s double cork 1080 or just bust out some of the ol’ moves on the top-sheet. Either way, we’ll be proud. Keep it Extreme!
