K2's New Potion Series Works Wonders for Women Skiers

Jan. 20, 2014 - SEATTLE -- Since 1998, K2 Skis (http://k2skis.com/)

has driven and inspired innovation of female-specific skis. Designed by women, for women, the new K2 Potion series offers an unparalleled lineup of Frontside, Freeride and Freestyle skis. The perfect blend of ten-plus years of award-winning technologies and designs resulted in the new 2014/15 lightweight group of performance-driven, All-Mountain skis featuring Bioflex cores, lightweight metal laminates, mod technology, unique flex patterns and sidecuts as well as weight-reducing binding systems.

Beginning with the core construction, many of the Potion skis feature K2’s Bioflex cores, a construction that fuses the strength of Aspen underfoot with the light and lively feel of Paulownia and/or Bamboo wood in the tip and tail. This provides a smooth flex and reduced swing weight for all-day fun in any condition.

With waist widths ranging from 72 to 98mm, the expansive Potion series is made up of nine versatile models. From the Frontside-friendly Potion 72 and 74 XTi to the stability-based Freeride inspired Potion 90XTi and 98Ti skiers of all disciplines are covered.

The Potion 74 XTi offers All-Mountain versatility with a Frontside focus. The Speed Rocker profile combined with RoX Technology on this precision piste ski will carve the corduroy with confidence throughout the day. A lightweight metal laminate and Hybritech sidewall provide best-in-class energy absorption and stability.

Potion 74 XTi

Dimensions: 115/74/107
Rocker Profile: Speed
Sizes: 146, 153, 160, 167
Radius: 13m @ 160
Binding Option: ERC 11.0 TC

The Potion 84 XTi comes in with a wider waist and All-Terrain Rocker to be a multi-purpose weapon ready to ski the whole mountain. All-Terrain RoX Technology works to quiet vibrations and increase stability through the use of aluminum-coated fiberglass. The 80 percent Aspen, 20 percent Paulownia Bioflex 3 Core provides increased performance, strength and durability.

Potion 84 XTi

Dimensions: 128/84/112
Rocker Profile: All-Terrain

Both the Potion 74 XTi and Potion 84 XTi are available with the newly redesigned ERC 11.0 TC binding. Lowering the binding and creating a length adjustment system based on a women’s foot achieves additional weight savings and increased responsiveness.

Capping off the Potion series and transitioning into the Women’s Freeride stability collection is the Potion 90XTi and 98Ti. Both models are made for hard-charging female skiers looking to take on any line at the resort; these skis are also tour-ready with tip and tail skin grommets for backcountry exploration.

The Remedy 92 and 102’s All-Terrain Rocker couples with its tapered tip and tail for the perfect balance between soft snow float and hard snow edge hold. With triaxial braided Bioflex 3 Cores these even-flexing, light and agile skis provide a lively platform for everyday skiing. The Remedy 112 is a deep powder machine with a wider waist and Fir/Aspen core.
