Triaxial Braided
Developed by K2 in 1988, Triaxial Braiding is still the best known process of applying fiberglass to a wood core. This process consists of sending a milled wood core through the patented Triaxial Braiding machine, where the core is wrapped by interlocking strands of fiberglass. This unique method produces skis that have a great deal of torsional rigidity and strength, while maintaining all the lively characterisitics of a wood core ski.
Torsion Box Construction
Torsion Box construction is K2`s most widely used, yet simplest lay-up. This construction is a Triaxially braided wood core ski. Braided torsion Box skis tend to have lively and energetic characteristics that provided a high degree of rebound and performance. A Triaxially Braided wood core ski is still the bench mark and they continue to use it so widely because of it`s versatility and the ability to create so many different kinds of skis depending on the amount of flex and torsion designed into the construction.
