Replacing the iKonic 84 from previous seasons, the new 2020 iKonic 84 takes the widest spot in K2's series of piste focused all-mountain skis.
The 84mm waist width is ideal for skiers looking to prioritise carving on piste with fast edge-to-edge transfers, while still wanting sufficient surface area to allow them to ski a variety of snow types from crud to slush and fresh snow whether on piste or off the side. With its wider nose and narrower tail and roughly equivalent waist width, this ski has an improved performance in soft and variable snow while maintaining a very similar sidecut radius for on piste carving.
A wide range of skiers can enjoy the iKonic 84 due to it's medium firm flex, which is comfortable at moderate speeds as well as remaining stable at high speeds because of it's dynamic shape and construction. Firm Aspen wood with dampening properties runs over the contact length of the ski, along with carbon reinforcement and a sidewall construction. This all results in a ski that transfers energy exceptionally well from the skier to the edges for grip and control across different snow conditions, as well as strong torsional rigidity which allows the ski to hold it's shape and remain stable when being flexed through powerful carving turns and then rebound the skier out into the next turn thanks to the camber profile.
There's also a rocker in the tip to improve turn initiation and give the ski a manoeuvrable feel, as well as the use of lighter Paulownia wood through the centre and extremities of the ski to lighten it.
Overall, the 2020 iKonic 84 will reward experienced skiers who enjoy a variety of speeds and will probably be spending the majority of their time on piste, but want a ski capable of handling different snow conditions at any time.

Features Include
- Tapered Tip - The widest part of the ski is brought further back to reduce tip weight and increase soft snow performance. The tapered tip makes exiting a turn easier and gives a predictable, yet playful feel
- K2 Konic Technology - A dense and strong core near the edges of the ski, combines with an ultralight core in the centre. The result is strength exactly where it's needed, but with no unnecessary weight. This makes for powerful turns, and super smooth transitions!
- Aspen / Paulownia - Paired with the Konic technology, lively Aspen and Paulownia wood runs through the centre of the core to give a powerful and consistent flex
- Triaxial Braid - Interlocking strands of fibreglass surround the core to increase torsional rigidity without affecting the lively flex patterns found in a true wood core
- Twin Tech - Topsheet rolled onto the sidewall. This combo gives excellent grip and durability
- All Terrain Rocker - 70% camber underfoot gives grip and power on piste, whilst 30% rocker in the nose aids flotation in powder, and reduces the effort needed to initiate a turn
- Carbon Spyne - Carbon stringers sit across the tip and tail to increase torsional rigidity
- Marker MXC Bindings - Provides precision and control, this binding allows the boot to stay centred during quick jolts for increased power transmission
