Excellent pair of skis

When snow conditions get exciting in the backcountry, you'll be glad to have the Dispatch 110 under your feet. A medium to wide waist and K2's brand new Titanal Hex Beam construction make this the most versatile ski in the Dispatch series. Specially developed technologies such as the Steadfast Base and uni-directional flax fibres ensure reliable stability. Long, variable and steep descents are no challenge for this inspiring ski.
Riding style
A freeride/powder ski for advanced riders. Shape, design, profile and construction have been specially tuned to deliver the best performance in powder. Maximum uplift and manoeuvrability for deepest snow.
Shape
With the Directional shape the nose is slightly wider than the tail. The bindings and the sidecut are slightly set back towards the tail. This increases the stability at higher speeds and the uplift in powder.
Profile
The All-Terrain Rocker profile consists of a camber under the binding, a rocker area in the nose and a slightly smaller rocker in the tail. This keeps the ski very manoeuvrable in all snow conditions. The small rocker in the tail and the camber under the binding offer you good edge hold and fast power transmission.
Construction
The HEX-Beam insert shifts mass away from the mounting point towards the tip and tail of the ski to increase swing weight and promote predictable turn initiation. This increases stability and tracking while maintaining power transmission. Uni-directional flax fibres run the entire length of the ski from tip to tail. This improves damping and saves weight for a stable and agile feel with low environmental impact. The Steadfast Base holds wax 9x longer than a high quality sintered base and requires 30 % less energy to manufacture. The improved wax adhesion prevents the skins from peeling the wax off the base.
Ski er som regel leveret klar til brug med en vokset base og slebede kanter. Men denne såkaldte fabriksklargøring er ikke særlig holdbar og dine nye ski bør vokses efter et par dage og vedligholdes på regelmæssig basis.
