The proven flagship of the K2 touring ski collection is the K2 Talkback 88, the perfect backcountry ski with 88 mm waist width, carbon reinforcements and strategically placed metal under the binding.

This lightweight ski is easy to control on the ascent in alpine terrain and yet is reliable and stable on the way down, even in the most difficult conditions. Whether powder or wind-blown passages – with this ski even the umpteenth round is still fun. Going your own way has never been so easy.

Technology

Ti SpYne
Titanial laminate, specially developed for K2 touring skis that significantly increases damping in lightweight carbon constructions while improving stability and edge grip.

Snowphobic Topsheet
Hydrophobic, snow-repellent topsheet that prevents snow from sticking to the ski.

Carbon Overdrive
A secret construction of carbon fibres that makes a ski even more beautiful. Achieved coolness values are difficult to quantify. Product from the '62 range.

Reinforced eyelets at the tip and tail of the ski where K2's pre-made skins can be attached with a Z Clip, and can be used with K2/BCA shovels to create a rescue sled

+ Fritschi Scout 11 Size S (incl. 90 mm stopper)

Among the bindings with walking function, the Fritschi Scout probably offers the widest range of applications. The lightest frame/bridge binding is the right companion for combined use in touring terrain and on the piste for any terrain.

The Fritschi Scout is almost as light as the heaviest pin binding and offers the easy handling of an alpine binding in addition to outstanding all-mountain performance.

The Compact Module is also the linchpin for all other functions, from walking comfort and ease of use to safety and the outstanding downhill characteristics, and is not least the reason for the light weight of this pin construction. The activatable crampon is another technological refinement of the system.

Features:
• Superior walking comfort
• High lateral stability in the ascent
• Easy handling
• Light weight
• Activatable crampon
• Weight: 790 g/890 g unit (without stopper/with stopper)
