Clip into the K2 Talkback 96 Skis and show em how it's done. Powered by a lightweight Paulownia core reinforced with a Titanal spine and carbon laminate, the Talkbacks have camber underfoot and rockered tips to keep you nimble in the steep and deep. These capable backcountry performers are as light as they are strong, so you can beat your friends up the mountain and show them who's boss on the way down.
All-Terrain Rocker – Designed for all ability levels, All-Terrain Rocker adds versatility and ease in all snow conditions. This profile features an elevated tip and tail for variable and soft snow performance, as well as camber underfoot for power, energy, and edgehold in firmer conditions.
Tapered Tip/Tail – A design feature that shifts the contact points with the snow towards the midsole of the ski, reducing deflection in the tip and easing turn release in the tail.
Paulownia – Lively, flexible wood with excellent weight to strength ratio.
Ti Spyne – A Titanal laminate developed specifically for K2 touring skis that dramatically increases dampening and predictability on lightweight carbon constructions, while enhancing stability and edge grip.
Carbon Overdrive – Top secret construction using carbon fiber to make a ski even more awesome than if it did not have carbon fiber.
Snowphobic Topsheet – Hydrophobic, snow-shedding topsheet material that helps prevent snow from sticking to the tops of your skis.
Skin Grommets – Reinforced grommets in the tip and tail of the ski that both accommodate K2's pre-cut skins with a Z-clip attachment, and can be used with K2/BCA shovels to build a rescue sled.
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
