Instrument 2025
Freeride Snowboard - Men -
The Instrument 2025 is a snowboard for men from K2 Snowboard.
It draws its inspiration from surfing to offer a new, fun approach to the world of all-mountain freeride. The Instrument from K2 is a model that will open up new horizons for you.
Its design Volume Shift™ allows you to reduce the size of your board compared to your usual size to improve manoeuvrability. The buoyancy is always optimal with a real feeling of riding the snow like a wave when you are on powder snow slaloming between the trees. With the Directional Camber from K2 and a long camber underneath the supports, the Instrument can be ridden with great ease in powder. It remains at ease on all terrains to give you great pleasure and a good dose of fun on every run.
Designed with a solid and light S1 Core, the Instrument will provide you with the serenity needed for tackling untouched slopes. The unique combination of three woods provides a lot of dynamism and support. K2 K2 pushes the boundaries every time with Carbon Torque Forks™. This technology brings more response to this board while improving pop and stability during edge grip, thanks to the presence of carbon fibres.
A worthy heir to the Eighty-Seven, the Instrument has updated side cuts for better overall behaviour on its domain: floatability in powder, manoeuvrability and grip on hard snow. In short, a perfect board for the forest when it snows with excellent behaviour on the piste when the conditions are not there.
For all you expert snowboarders and freeride enthusiasts out there, opt for theInstrument ultra-manoeuvrable and as versatile as you want it to be.

| Cambre - DIRECTIONAL | Classic camber between the supports with a slight rocker in the nose and heel. All the power of standard camber with improved float in powder. The addition of a rocker slightly sets the point of contact back for smoother turn transitions. |
| Shape - MANAGEMENT | 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. |
| Sole - SINTERED 4000 | Our Sintered 4000 base absorbs wax deep down for enhanced glide and unrivalled durability. |
| CARBON TORQUE FORKS™ | V-shaped carbon fibre stringers that extend just outside the inserts to the nose and tail contact points for added pop, responsiveness and stability in all conditions. |
| INSERTS 2x4 | They increase the number of options for positioning your bindings in an optimal way. |
| VOLUME SHIFT™ | Decrease your height by 3 to 5 cm compared to your usual snowboard length. |
