K2 Fujative

The K2 Fugative Ski returns in 2008 for another year of eluding the competition. Built with a unique flex pattern that keeps it rigid underfoot, the Fugative offers control and stability while still remaining nice n soft toward the tip and tail for flexing like none other. The K2 Fugative also uses a lightweight vertical cap construction for durability and control without bulking up the ski itself. Presses, ollies, butters, rail grinds-its all within the realm of the Fugative. If high performance park/pipe/jib action is what you seek, then look no further than the 2008 K2 Fugative Ski.

• TORSION BOX CONTROL: The Torsion Box Construction is the foundation for the widest range of skis designed by K2. The Raider Skis share the common traits of ease, forgiveness, responsiveness, and energy that can be found in all Torsion Box skis.
• TRIAXIAL BRAIDING: This unique method produces skis that have a great deal of torsional rigidity and strength, while maintaining all the lively characteristics of a wood core ski.
• Twin Tip, Unique Flex Pattern, Vertical Cap Construction
• Tip and Tail Rivets, Dampening Layer, 3.5mm Edges

This unique creation is Pep Fujas` brainchild and fits his desire to have a ski designed as the ultimate park tool. It is kept super stiff underfoot with the Triaxial braided core to retain its ability to stomp landings and not wash out in transitions. The ski escapes traditional ski design towards both the tip and tail, where a distinctive wood core allows it to be flexed and pressed in ways most other skis cannot compete with. The cap construction keeps the weight to a minimum while the strands of carbon fiber maximize your ollie power.
FEATURES:

• Twin tip
• Unique flex pattern
• Triaxial braided core
• Vertical cap
• New tip and tail rivets

TORSION BOX CONSTRUCTION -
K2`s Torsion Box construction is their most widely used, yet simplest lay-up. The construction is a Triaxially braided wood core ski. Braided Torsion Box skis tend to have lively and energetic characteristics that provide a high degree of rebound and performance. A triaxially braided wood core ski is still the benchmark and K2 continues to use it so widely because of it`s versatility and it`s ability to create so many different kinds of skis depending on the amount of flex and torsion.
WOOD CORE -
For men`s models a fir or fir/aspen core is used for its inherent strength, durability, and energy. A wood core, instead of foam, makes the ski more lively and responsive.
TRIAXIAL BRAIDING -
Triaxial Braiding was introduced by K2 in 1988 and has withstood the test of time to rise to the top as the best torsion box construction process available. The patented and proprietary technology wraps an interlocking fiberglass weave around the ski`s wood core at a 38 degree angle to produce skis that have a great deal of torsional rigidity and strength, while maintaining all the lively characteristics of a wood core ski.
