Designed for committed skiers, or those who'd like to be, the Axis series delivers a variety of high-performance skis for advanced to expert level participants. Designed to ski the entire mountain and incorporating next-generation MOD damping technology, the Axis series has a ski that will blast straight through your world.
K2: Axis XT - Some people buy powder and carving skis, but the Axis XT gives you a perfect blend of both worlds. The award-winning K2 Axis XP leans toward ungroomed terrain for optimal performance, but the Axis XT is perfectly balanced for both corduroy and uncut bliss, earning gold medals in the all-mountain expert and all mountain cruiser categories among specialist skis built for one or the other. The ski features K2's new Mod Monic, a weighted node near the top of the ski that effectively dampens vibration at speed. This gives you a better balance between response and stability, resulting in confidence and control on all sides of the mountain. Whether you're an intermediate or an advanced skier, the XT is a comfortable performance platform from the first day of the season to the last.
2004 Ski Magazine Buyer's Guide gold medal winner, all-mountain cruiser category Tester's Choice, Skiing Magazine 2003-04 Recommended for advanced skiers who enjoy an even balance of groomed and ungroomed terrain Metal laminate construction K2 MOD Monic vibration-damping system Radius: 16 m. in 174-cm. length 18-mm. sidecut Dimensions (tip/waist/tail): 109 mm./68 mm./99 mm.
The mass of the MOD structure has been redistributed to accommodate the fixturing of the Monic module. The module is focused on the most volatile area of vibration concentration on a ski's surface. Independent vibration studies at Boeing Labs have proven the Monic module reduces vibration by 20 percent.
Praised by magazine tests and validated by skiers around the world, MOD Technology has proven to be the state of the art in ski design. MOD combines an elastomeric secondary core which works as a high-performance suspension system and mass damper to provide the highest degree of ease, power, forgiveness and performance available in skis today. Mass is the most effective damper available. The amount, application and distribution of mass is the key to the success of MOD Technology. At K2, unlike any other manufacturer, our application of mass, via the MOD structure, does not affect flex, allowing the ski to bend freely, while MOD absorbs unwanted vibrations independently.
MOD Monic is the latest evolution of our award-winning damping technology. MOD Monic is a module strategically placed in the primary area where vibrations associated with high-performance skiing occur most. Working harmonically within the MOD structure, Monic dampens unwanted vibrations at their source, resulting in the perfect balance between high-performance liveliness and damping."
These skis are used but are in excellent condition. They have their "summer wax" on. These are a fun ski.
