The new K2/Marker M1 Ski-Binding System for 2006/07 sets the standard for performance and integrated industrial design. Central to the new design are the M1 titanium hubs that are imbedded into the core of the ski under foot and enveloped in light weight composite. This allows for a more balanced and centered fixture point. Fewer moving parts generates more power to the edge, quicker and more efficiently than conventional systems.

Additionally, the design of the M1 toe and heel spacers are 30% wider than other rail systems thus extending binding contact points closer to the edge of the ski. This design increases leverage and power transfer. A fixed heel and floating toe drives power down and forward while still allowing the ski to flex freely, in a more consistent round arc thus maximizing the skis performance. A simple two step process is all it takes to slide and fix the drill-less M1 system on the ski quickly and effortlessly. State-of-the-art engineering and a sleek integrated design makes the K2 M1 a lighter, more powerful high performance system. Featured exclusively on the Apache & T:Nine Series.

In 2006, K2 will also introduce a new integrated K2/Marker Ski-Binding System called M2. The M2 is an integrated binding technology engineered by K2 and Marker utilizing design attributes of the IBX system from the past. The M2 is designed for high performance and recreational skiers alike, utilizing a floating toe and a fixed heel design to generate more power, precision and quickness underfoot.
