AK skiN - the new member of the AK Family!
BIG NEWS! The AK skiN, the latest innovation from AK Ski, brings a real revolution to the ski slopes. Aldo Kuonen, the founder of AK Ski, was the epitome of the pure joy of skiing. AK Ski was created with the aim of making World Cup quality skis accessible to everyone. The new AK skiN embodies exactly these values. A ski that gives us an unprecedented skiing experience.
Brief profile of the skiN: "The new skiing" - this phrase stands for the incredible skiing experience that the skiN offers. The skiN is based on a slalom ski and combines stability and dynamics, maneuverability with directional stability.
Technical data:
Lengths: 152cm, 159cm, 165cm, 170cm & 176cm
Tailing: 124.5mm - 69mm - 108.5mm
Radius: 9.9m (152), 10.8m (159), 11.6m (165), 12.3m (170) & 13.2m (176)
The revolution - elastAK skiN
ElastAK skiN is a further development of elastAK original. Fibers are incorporated into the natural rubber layer (the classic black skis), creating a look similar to fleece or fur. In addition to the visual change, elastAK skiN leads to incredibly smooth skiing. The revolution? The skiN not only impresses with its smoothness and directional stability, but also with its liveliness and rebound.
ElastAK skiN combines stability and dynamics, something that was previously at least partially impossible. The effect of elastAK skiN is unimaginable until you feel it yourself.
Ride report
skiN - the name says it all. With the AK skiN, AK Ski presents us with a classic slalom ski in a new skin, or a new skin. The AK skiN is based on the AK Ski slalom line (Black and Yellow). The difference? Additional fibers are incorporated into the natural rubber surface. However, this small adjustment has it all: it gives the skiN the dynamism and agility of the Yellow combined with the calmness of the Black.
The skiN impresses first and foremost with its smooth running; the technology used to dampen the ski is responsible for this very smoothness. The surprising element of the skiN is that the smoothness does not make the ski sluggish. The new technology from AK Skis means that the skiN lies quietly and true to track in the snow without losing any of its liveliness. Whether on icy pistes or rutted slopes, the skiN performs in all conditions. Whether you want to ski at full speed or at a leisurely pace, both are possible with the skiN.
My personal recommendation:
The skiN is an absolute revolution. Until now, calmness and dynamism have often been at least partially mutually exclusive. This is due to the fact that a quiet ski was heavily dampened and therefore automatically lost dynamism, liveliness and agility. With the development of elastAK skiN, precisely these opposites have now been combined, a calm ski in which our power impulses are not lost in the damping, but are transferred to the snow.
The skiN is a ski that is easy to turn, but does not require the power and intensity of the Yellow. It is a wonderful addition to the AK family. The ski is the ideal companion for all skiers who are looking for a ski that runs smoothly and tracks well without compromising on performance.
AK skiN - The revolution!
