The K2 Disruption MTi with the Marker MxCell 12 TCx binding, 170 cm, is the metal ski of the Disruption family: a 74 mm waist with a Titanal I-beam running tip to tail. That metal beam is why it holds a long arc at speed where the lighter models in the range start to chatter.

• Core and construction: Titanal I-beam through a maple and aspen core, the only metal ski among the Disruption men's packages here.
• Sidecut and radius: 118 / 74 / 104 mm sidecut with a 17 metre radius at 170 cm, the longest radius of the group, so it wants to be driven rather than flicked.
• Damping and sidewalls: Dark Matter Damping between carbon layers, Powerwall full ABS sidewalls, sintered base.
• Speed Rocker: near full camber with a low rise tip, which is what gives the edge grip.
• Binding: Marker MxCell 12 TCx binding, release range 4 to 12.
• Sole compatibility: Binding accepts alpine ISO 5355 and GripWalk ISO 23223 soles.
• For advanced to expert skiers: the most demanding ski in this group and the most rewarding at speed.
• Safety note: Release values must be set and tested by a technician to your height, weight, age and boot sole length.
