Camber - Directional: The most responsive camber profile in the range, featuring camber from the front foot to the tail of the board with a slight early rise in the nose. This gives the rider the most precision and control possible on any terrain while floating effortlessly in deep snow.
Shape - Directional: The directional shape is a classic snowboard shape, designed with a nose that is slightly longer than the tail to concentrate the pop at the tail while providing plenty of float, flow and control on all terrain and in all conditions.
Core - S1 Core: A new core developed by K2, it is designed to have unparalleled strength and high level shock absorption. It is a mixture of three different woods; bamboo, aspen and paulownia. Bamboo and aspen are placed at 30° under the foot to boost edge-to-edge response and increase pressure distribution along the edge. Lightweight paulownia is placed in the middle of the board to reduce wobble and additional bamboo stringers run from nose to tail to improve grip, stability and dampening.
Topsheet - ICG™ 10 Biax Carbon Glass: Smooth all-purpose performance with a no-frills design. The fibres are woven together at 0° and 90°, creating a more forgiving bending pattern. In addition, the Biax Glass 10 carbon strips increase the pop, liveliness and longevity of the snowboard without adding unnecessary stiffness.
Base - Wax Infused Sintered 4001: The sole is made by crushing polyethylene beads under high pressure, which makes the board more robust, increases its durability and allows the wax to be retained longer so that it can be used quickly even on a thick layer of snow.
2x4 Inserts: They increase the number of options for positioning your bindings in an optimal way.
Technologies:
Volume Shift™ Shape: The volume of the board normally located on the tail and nose is moved below the feet. The result is a wider, shorter board for increased manoeuvrability and more aggressive riding. The stability and buoyancy of the latter remain unchanged.
- Carbon Power Fork™ : The Power Fork flexes dynamically to optimise performance in snowboards. The Carbon Power Fork is strategically shaped to offer greater response and energy return by increasing the width towards the tail, allowing more engagement and creating more energy.
