K2 DISRUPTION 78C Women's Skis + ER3 10 Compact Quikclik

The Disruption 78C W is the complete package – nimble and lively thanks to its carbon I-Beam construction, and still delivers the edge grip you need to arc some serious turns on the hardpack, designed with a more forgiving construction than its Ti siblings, the 78C can handle few bumps, while still letting you charge down the fall line. Strapped with classic Disruption construction, the 78C’s Speed Rocker and Carbon I-Beam keep things stable, while Dark Matter Damping reduces chatter, resulting in improved edge control and performance. This women’s-specific piste ski will keep you carving from first chair to last.

K2 Disruption Collection
K2 has a long history of going against the grain and innovating skis for all the world to follow. Skis that have pushed boundaries, experimented with shape and technology and flat out rip. When it came time to innovate Piste Performance and All-Mountain categories, K2 went back to outer space and changed the game yet again. The result is the K2 Disruption, with Dark Matter Damping for drastically improved edge contact for a smoother, more planted arc in hard snow. Introducing the Disruption Collection..

    
    
DETAILS
Gender : Women's
Type:  all-mountain piste performance
Ski Terrain : All mountain - All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm.
On piste carving - For those that like the classic feeling of laying a ski over on edge and arcing a perfect turn, carving skis are what you want. These skis have narrower waists and shorter turn radii for edge to edge quickness and responsive turn initiation and exit on groomed runs and hard pack. The beginner-intermediate skis in this category are designed to make learning how to turn easy .
Shape:  Conventional
Ability Level:  Advance
Rocker Type: Speed Rocker - Camber

Speed Rocker - Full camber with low rise tip for maximum edge contact.
Construction:  Dark Matter Damping – Space. The final frontier. The object of many a child’s fascination. And yet with so much of this supra terra discovery, there’s still so much to uncover. K2 has harnessed this great unknown —these depths beyond the conception of gravity as we know it — to improve edge contact on rough and firm snow. It’s called Dark Matter Damping — a process in where a polymeric damper is sandwiched between two layers of high modulus carbon, and strategically placed along the ski edge. While your grasp of the outer reaches of our celestial sphere may be limited, DMD is a much simpler construct: improved edge grip and control. And with more grip and control, you can push faster, harder, and pull in to the turn like never before. Get ready for liftoff, it’s time to rage.



Carbon I-Beam – Full length uni-directional carbon running from tip to tail, providing increased accuracy and energy along the entire length of the ski.



Core Material:    Wood Αspen Veneer Core – Lightweight and resilient, the perfect all around core material. A single wood species ensures consistency - giving riders the advantage of a proven flex, durability, and snap.
Core/Laminates: Carbon, Wood
Sidewalls : PowerWall – Power transfer is dramatically enhanced with the oversized ABS sidewalls that are laminated and pocketed within the woodcore in the midbody of the ski. With the sidewall extending into
the heart of the ski, the transmission of energy from skier to ski edge is direct and precise.



Tip Width mm : 123
Waist Width mm : 78
Tail Width mm : 108

Din Range:    3-10
Manufacturer Warranty: 2 Years
Radius: 14.4 m @ 160 cm

The smaller the radius, the better the turning ability. A large radius brings a smoother ride at high speeds.
Bindings:  ER3 10 Compact Quikclik - Designed for maximum power transmission between the ski and the boot with the XCell Piston Technology toe piece to keep the boot centered during quick jolts. A TCx heel offers great control and precise performance.
Base : Sintered Base -hard and fast, but a little higher maintenance, the best choice for powder.
Weight: N/a
