K2 Anthem 76X Women's Skis + eR3 10 Compact Quikclik Bindings 2021 | 163cm

This easy turning Anthem 76X suits a wide range of intermediates, from cautious cruisers to confident all mountain skiers. The BIOkonic core tunes the flex of the ski to work in harmony with the female biomechanics. The user-friendly Hybritech sidewalls and the Catch Free Rocker provide hassle-free turn initiation, good grip on firmer snow and smooth handling in choppier conditions.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Pistes and down the sides of runs are the natural terrain for the Anthem 76X. The shape and rocker give it easy handling when the snow is tricky, the width and construction allow for fun, energetic turns on smooth snow.Skier TypeIt is aimed squarely at intermediates who want a great all round piste ski that will also venture a bot further. It is fairly forgiving, but still fun, an ideal mix to encourage good technique and exploring piste map as well as easily accessible terrain off the sides.OverviewShape76mm underfoot is narrow enough to feel pretty quick edge to edge as turns are made on piste. This width works well with the shape of mellow contact points to create a tip and tail that taper away for a smoother ride in rougher snow, ideal for chopped up runs and edge of piste skiing.RockerCatch Free Rocker provides effortless turn intiation at slow and moderate speeds with a gentle, gradual rise in the tip and tail.CoreAspen Lite BIOkonic uses aspen as it is lightweight and resilient, making it a great all round material.ConstructionHybritech blends a sidewall construction underfoot with a cap construction in the extremities. The sidewall section gives the ski accuracy, power and edge grip; the capped region reduces the swing weight and increases overall durability.Key FeaturesBIOkonicDeveloped around the specific biomechanical attributes of women and optimized for hard snow performance; BIOkonic construction places dense, heavier materials directly over the edges with lighter materials in the centre of the ski for increased precision and stability, while retaining a large sweet spot.Correct Flexeliminates the overly stiff, mid-section typically found on shorter length skis, leaving a smooth and consistent flex profile optimized on every size from longest to shortest.Stance ForwardMore than simply moving the mounting point on a men’s ski, the overall shape, sidecut and flex are designed in concert around the biomechanics of how women stand and pressure the ski during a turn.eB tester’s comments: Sarah (Aviemore) Felt perfect for the skier it is aimed at as it’s so smooth and such a confidence builder. It can be pushed and still grips well; it’s nippy, agile and very forgiving.Technical SpecificationsSize (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)156122761031414121631227610315.51495General InformationSkier Ability: Intermediate/AdvancedTerrain Type: All Mountain Rocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: MediumBase: SinteredBindings: eR3 10 Compact QuikclikDIN: 3 - 10Construction: Semi SidewallCore: WoodDemo: YesSizing Description: Nose level to forehead height is ideal, but longer length is important if there is a bigger rocker or you’re spending more time off piste where the extra stability and float a larger size provides will be beneficial.
