Product description
The K2 Talkback 88 21/22 touring ski set with the Marker Alpinist 10 binding and K2 Pomoca touring skins offers a perfect combination of light weight, stability and versatility for demanding ski tours.
The Talkback 88 impresses with an excellent balance of manoeuvrability and control, ideal for steep ascents and dynamic descents. The Marker Alpinist 10 binding impresses with its light weight, precise release and easy handling, while the Pomoca skins ensure outstanding grip and glide on the ascent. With this set, you are perfectly equipped for any terrain - whether for long, steep ascents or fast, safe descents. An all-round reliable and high-performance ski touring set-up for every adventure in the mountains.
The tried-and-true flagship model of K2’s touring collection, the K2 Talkback 88 is the perfect backcountry ski.
With an 88mm waist, Carbon reinforcement and strategic metal placement underfoot, the Talkback 88 offers the lightweight maneuverability for big alpine ascents, but remains stout enough for the even the most variable descents. Tackle the pow, rule the wind-buff, and take that third lap. Go on; find your own path.
The set comes with the ultra-light Marker Alpinist 10 pin binding, offering everything experienced touring skiers need.
Its construction allows active length compensation without aff ecting the ski’s flex. A very stiff, carbon-reinforced front with an ISI toe piece makes the binding easier to step into, as a wide footprint with integrated stop automatically positions and aligns your boot. Kinematically optimised pin levers then allow the pins to snap shut with just a gentle push. The heel features 0°, 5° and 9° climbing aids and can be switched quickly and easily from ascent to descent mode. A 38mm wide hole pattern transfers power brilliantly to the edges, which means control and great steering.
K2 Skins are made with Pomoca 70% Mohair blend for the best combination of glide, grip, glue, and durability.
K2 Skins are super easy to prepare and get ready for a tour.
K2 uses a variety of wood species in our cores to fine-tune the performance characteristics of each ski.
Paulownia is a lively, flexible wood with excellent strength-to-weight ratio.
Hydrophobic snow-shedding topsheet material that helps prevent snow buildup.
Unidirectional carbon fiber integrated into the layups of the K2 Wayback and Talkback touring skis to keep them light and responsive.
Gradual rise in the tip for great versatility in all conditions, with a low, short rise in the tail for added control in variable snow.
