K2 Silencer 09/10

The Silencer is an all-terrain ski that can handle the whole mountain as well as it does the park. The Silencer’s cap construction creates a feather-light and slightly more forgiving feel than that of the EXT. The 80mm footprint gives it quickness edge to edge with additional hard snow performance and the fir core keeps it nice and snappy for pop off jumps or riding pipe.

• Tip and Tail Rivets, K2 introduced tip and tail rivets 7 years ago on the Factory Series skis. They were functionally developed for additional protection, reinforcing the tip and tail of the ski against delamination. Although function is still the primary purpose, K2 has evolved the rivets and plates into stylized components.
• Triaxial Braiding,Triaxial Braiding was developed by K2 in 1988 and is still the best way to apply fiberglass to a wood core. This process consists of sending a milled wood core through the patented Triaxial Braiding machine, where interlocking strands of fiberglass wrap the core. This unique method produces skis that have a great deal of torsional or twist rigidity and strength, while maintaining the lively innate flex characteristics of its wood core.
• Matte Finish topsheet
• Performance: Ungroomed: 20% Groomed: 80%
• Sizes: 149, 159, 169, 179
• Radius: 21m@ 179/Standard Taper
• Construction: Torsion Box Cap,“Cap” skis are built with a sophisticated molding process that envelops the core and internal materials with the top layer of the ski. Capped skis share the common characteristics of being very durable and lightweight. The construction process is nearly identical for an entry and expert level ski. What determines the characteristics of the ski are the variations in the layers of the core materials. For this reason, cap skis can be used for just about any type of skiing and performance level.
• Core: Fir, K2 men’s All-Mountain models use fir and aspen for their inherent strength, durability and energy.
