Men's specific MOD Structure

The shape of the secondary elastomeric core has been sculpted to distribute mass in ways that ensure the smoothest ride. Overall the MOD is thickest toward the center of the ski to insulate the skier from vibrations and tapers toward the tip and tail to minimize weight making the skis easier to maneuver.  The optimum location and thickness of mass differs from men to women reflected in the different MOD shapes for our Apache and T:Nine series of skis. The new men’s MOD structure distributes the mass of the secondary core increasing torsional rigidity through its X shape MOD design and perimeter mass for increased edge hold.

Men's specific MOD Monic

Although the precise location of the MOD Monic's strategic mass dampening is consistent between our men and women's models, the amount of focused mass is different. Through extensive testing with member of our Apache test team, we have determined the optimal MOD Monic mass of 25 grams on our Apache series helps quiet and calm the ski for a smoother ride. The redesigned men's MOD Monic also has a new X shape that further compliments the x shaped MOD structure.

Only from Proskiguy will you find the Raider matched up with a Piston Control binding.  K2 no longer offers any Piston Control models factory installed (and did not offer it with the Raider anyway).  Piston Control makes any ski smoother, more stable, and improves edge hold.  Why spend more for a lesser factory installed binding???  Click on the binding tab above for details on the 11.0 Tc PC.
