K2 introduced tip and tail rivets 7 years ago on the Factory Series skis. They were functionally developed for additional protection, reinforcing the tip and tail of the ski against delamination. Although function is still the primary purpose, K2 has evolved the rivets and plates into stylized components.

K2 SchizoFrantic Inserts

The K2 SchizoFrantic inserts allow for super fast mounting of the new K2/Marker Griffon SchizoFrantic binding system without the need for any drilling. The Schzio binding itself uses the tested and proven Triple Pivot Elite toe and Inter Pivot Heel with an ultra lightweight, low stand height track and cable system that enable you to mount once and adjust a full 6 cm along the ski. The insert patterns allow you to ski at the ‘core center’ mark for the optimal park and switch performance, or all the way back at a more traditional mounting location for powder of softer snow conditions. The increased surface area of the insert rings provides twice the pullout strength of standard binding screws.The new system will be offered on HellBent, obSETHed, Kung Fujas and Extreme skis.
