The K2 True Luv is designed for women that want to progress. The stiffer Fir/ Aspen BioKonic core with Carbon provides extra bite when you are become more comfortable with speed. The cap construction in the tip and tail allows the edges to flex a little allowing easy, skidded parallel turns and the sidewall construction in the middle of the ski gives grip when the snow is frim helping to control your speed.
The slight rocker in the tip eases turn initiation for playful, energetic carving performance. The BioKonic core is designed specifically for women, with a mix of two different wood’s which allows the ski to flex better for the way most women ski. A stiffer wood in the middle of the ski gives grip and the softer wood in this tip and tail is more flexible which helps with turning.
K2 & the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
In 2002, the K2 Alliance wanted to do more to support their community of women by supporting the Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF). Pink ribbons were placed on all women’s products to create awareness and directly support the cause; a percentage of all sales of women’s products were donated to the BCRF. Since then, K2 has donated over One Million dollars to the BCRF.

Features
- K2 Alliance, Women making kick-ass ski’s! - The K2 Alliance has always been at the forefront of developing the most badass women’s specific skis and they’ve done it again with their latest collection incorporating the all-new BIOkonic technology. The goal for the Alliance was to create a collection of skis designed from the ground up to specifically address the needs of female skiers of every level, type, and size; delivering the appropriate balance of performance attributes all while maintaining accessibility for a wide group of skiers. K2’s Alliance and R&D crew has taken a Women’s First Design approach to the development of BIOkonic technology. The concept is simple, taking the BIOlogical approach to how women ski. It doesn’t mean just taking a men’s ski and moving the mounting point forward; it’s a holistic approach to the overall design of the ski, matching the shape, flex profile and material distribution to the needs of female skiers. Moreover, BIOkonic technology allows K2 to optimize these attributes throughout all sizes of each model, ensuring that all women can benefit from BIOkonic.
- Speed Rocker - Short and low rise for added agility for quick transitions between turns.
- BIOkonic- The optimization of materials and flex profile, placing heavier –dense materials over the edges of the ski where they have the most impact on performance, while guaranteeing optimized flex on every size from smallest to largest.
- Stance Forward – Men and women are built differently, men have broader shoulders and women have broader hips. When in the skiing stance this changes the centre of gravity which is lower and further back for women. Stance Forward doesn’t just mean moving the mounting point forward; it’s the overall approach, incorporating the skis shape and construction: sidecut, flex and materials.
- Hybridtech Sidewalls - Blending a sidewall construction underfoot with a cap construction in the extremities. The sidewall section gives the ski accuracy, power and edge grip while the capped regions reduce swing weight and increase overall durability.
- Fir / Aspen BioKonic core - Fir is stiff, strong, dense wood for solid edge to edge performance. Aspen is lightweight and resilient, a great all-around material.
