K2 Instrument Snowboard 2024
The K2 Instrument Snowboard 2024 is crafted for those who approach each resort run with the improvisational spirit of a jazz band, seamlessly making decisions on the go. With a directional camber line and Volume Shift™ design, the board ensures optimal width for carving on groomers. The Sintered 4000 base guarantees smooth glides, while the sustainably sourced S1 Core, incorporating Bamboo, Aspen, and Paulownia, provides a durable and damp underfoot experience. The Carbon Torque Forks™ and ICG™ 10 Biax Fiberglass contribute to responsive power transfer, pop, and stability, making the Instrument ideal for unpredictable weather conditions. The Volume Shift™ design reduces drag, and the 2×4 Insert Binding Mounting offers secure and flexible stance-width options, making it a reliable choice for discerning snow sports enthusiasts.
Tech
| Volume Shift™ | This innovation redistributes surface area from the tip and tail to the waist of the snowboard, effectively reducing swing weight and toe/heel drag. Riders can downsize from 4-10 cm from yK2’s usual snowboard length. |
| Sintered 4000 Base | K2’s Sintered 4000 base is designed to absorb wax deeply into the material, ensuring relentless glide and exceptional durability. |
| S1 Core | Crafted as the smooth-flexing cousin to K2’s A1 core, the NEW S1 Core is built to be damp underfoot and incredibly strong. It incorporates Bamboo, Aspen, and Paulownia, allowing each wood type to maximize its strengths. The tip-to-tail Bamboo stringers provide snap, durability, and underfoot damping, while lightweight Paulownia in the midbody, tip, and tail works to reduce swing weight. Additionally, Aspen and Bamboo are strategically placed at 30° angles underfoot to increase strength, enhance edge-to-edge response, and distribute pressure along the edge. |
| ICG™ 10 Glass with Carbon | This feature integrates Carbon Fiber stringers into the snowboard’s fiberglass, boosting snap without adding unnecessary rigidity. |
| Carbon Torque Forks™ | Utilizing Carbon Fiber stringers in a V-shape, these forks extend from just outside the inserts to the tip and tail’s contact points, resulting in increased pop, responsiveness, and stability. |
| 2 X 4 Insert Binding Mounting | Offering a secure binding mounting system while optimizing stance-width options, the 2×4 Insert packs provide a time-tested, stable, and secure setup. |
