K2 Downhill Rocker Skis at Erik's Bike and Board

The word "Rocker" is a common term you see and hear about when shopping for downhill skis. Rocker is the latest shaping technology for building skis or snowboards. 
But, what is it?  Lets look at Camber technology first.  Camber is the traditional shape - a slight arching upward curve with the bend or curve upward in the middle.

Rocker (also called reverse-camber) Now, take Camber and reverse it. Imagine the ski tip and tail are turned up. By turning up the tip, this relieves the
pressure on the snow, resulting in a smoother ride and making it easier to balance on in rough terrain. And, by rockering, or turning the tip and the tail, the result
is a ski that's easier to pivot and less grabby on the snow. So, take your rocker skis anywhere - get superior float in powder or take them all over the mountain.
Below are the different types of K2 rocker skis available from Erik's Bike and Board Shop.
