K2 Skis 5 Com Ski Hire and Equipment Review

The 5 Com is ideal for the athletic skier who wants great performance at a great value. Excelling in all conditions and terrain, the 5 com is exceptionally versatile and has one of the widest performance envelopes in the K2 collection. Complete with MOD Technology, the 5 Com has a playful 72mm waist that is wide enough to float in the West yet perfect for hard snow and groomers. The new K2/Marker M2 binding system provides smooth transitions and quick power transfer seldom seen on performance models in this category. Dimensions 119/72/103 Performance 60% ungroomed/40% groomed Radius 14m @167 Construction Torsion Box Core Fir/Aspen Features MOD Technology, Triaxial Braided Binding Options K2/Marker M2 11.0 TC

Stealthy looking and well balanced all-terrain ski from K2s new Comanche range. The sidecut is modern but not too aggressive, the flex sporty but not too challenging for aspiring intermediates. If you’‘re already hitting the reds with ease and looking for a ski to take you to the next level then the new 5 Com is a grreat choice. On the downside if you are an experienced skier and looking for a challenge then you may want to go for an Apache Series ski as you may get a little more longevity and find you can tackle more of the hill as you gain fitness, technique and confidence. A good value all-rounder.
