Ride Report

The AK Pink is available in two versions: as a Popart with a Basetop surface and as an original with the innovative elastAK surface. Let's take a look at the differences between these two surfaces.

Basetop vs. elastAK: The Basetop surface, used in the Popart line, is made of the same material as the ski base on the underside. This construction gives the ski a reactive nature, provides high stability and creates an attractive rebound effect that makes the ski lively and lively. In contrast to this is the elastAK surface of the original. This natural rubber ski surface developed by AK Ski absorbs fine vibrations that occur during the ride. The result is incomparable calmness, stability and grip when skiing, which conveys a feeling of extreme safety. In addition, elastAK is easy on the joints. In short, the Original is somewhat calmer and more balanced, while the Popart retains a certain liveliness and reactivity.

Geometry and handling: The geometry of the Pink is designed to cover a wide range of riding styles and abilities. The waist with a narrow ski tail gives the ski a light-footedness that is absolutely brilliant. This geometry also ensures that the ski reacts quickly and is very easy to turn. The Pink can show its claws when it matters, but can also be gentle and supple.

In summary, the AK Pink offers an impressive combination of versatility, innovation and ride comfort, making it an ideal ski for a wide range of female skiers.

My Personal Recommendation:

The AK Pink is a statement of reliability and versatility. The AK Pink is an excellent choice for any skier looking for a reliable and adaptable companion on the slopes. The Pink impresses with its classic geometry, which features less tapered ski ends. This construction allows the ski to excel in a variety of situations and conditions. Whether you are a beginner or looking to take your skills to the next level, the Pink will adapt to your style and needs.

Of particular note is the introduction of the Pink in the 164 cm length for the 2023/24 season, opening up the opportunity for even more female skiers to experience the qualities of this versatile ski. It is a step that further increases the accessibility and appeal of the Pink.

The AK Pink is a ski that not only impresses on the slopes, but also in the variety of its possible uses. It offers a solid base for safety and performance, making it an ideal ski for female skiers looking for a reliable and versatile partner.

Dare to be Pink! - With the Pink on your feet, you are ready for any adventure that winter has in store for you.
