Is there a ski like K2 Domain but w a race base?

[Kasanovah]

I want the K2 domain in my quiver, but I want it with a race base. Anything comparable to that out there?

Specs are basically

-rocker/flat/rocker

-race base or at least a 'high speed' base

-dont care what the waist is, 82-85 might be better for swing but 86-90 could be ok too for stability

-soft/stiff/soft flex

-176-180 length

-don't care about the core or sidewalls or edge types

-beveled edge would be pimp but not a must have

Thanks

The Punx is everything you just mentioned except camber underfoot. How set are you on the flat underfoot?

camber underfoot is key! glad to see it still has it

I went from Domains to the Filthy Rich...I'm never going back. FRs are just as fun as Domains (if not more fun), more durable, and go fast as fuck.

Do you already have the Domains? If so why not try getting a more race like structure?

If a base is extruded, putting a different structure on it won't make that huge of a difference. Having a high end sintered based will be way more noticeable. But that does meaning buying a new ski...

If you want to make the most out of an extruded base, there is a product from Maxi Glide for waxless XC skis. It is meant for any extruded gliding surface (not just XC) and will at least help you out a bit. But since it is a rub on, it will only last a few runs.

The speed difference even between sinteted bases is vast, my Fischer Wateas had very slow bases even with a tune and wax, my Liberty's were much faster even when I hadnt bothered to service them. However when you get onto a proper world cup ski you notice what a real race base is as the rest of the ski is built for outright speed too. The closest 'piste' ski ive used to the race ones Ive had are my Kastles which have a pretty high quality base for a non FIS ski.

It doesn't have to be cuz I have a pair of liberty LTEs that are so sacked that they literally are rocker flat rocker, I know they don't ride the same as skis actually made that way lol but at least they're forgiving on landings and quite easy too press with... soo I could go with a camber under foot ad not be too upset.
