Volume Shift We reduce swing weight and toe/heel drag by shifting surface area from the tip and tail to the waist of the snowboard. Downsize from 4-10 cm from your usual snowboard length. Sintered 4000 Base Our Sintered 4000 base absorbs wax deep into the material for relentless glide and unrivaled durability. S1 Core The smooth-flexing cousin to our A1 core, our NEW S1 Core is designed to be damp underfoot and stronger than hell. Constructed from Bamboo, Aspen, and Paulownia, the S1 Core let’s each wood do what it’s best for. Tip-to-tail Bamboo stringers add snap, durability, and damping underfoot and are balanced out by lightweight Paulownia in the midbody, tip, and tail help to reduce swingweight. Underfoot, Aspen and Bamboo are placed at 30 ° angles to increase strength, supercharge the edge-to-edge response, and increase the pressure distribution along the edge. ICG™ 10 Glass With Carbon Integrating Carbon Fiber stringers that run the length of the board into our fiberglass increases the snap of the snowboard without adding unnecessary rigidity. Carbon Torque Forks Carbon fiber stringers in a V-shape, extending from just outside of the inserts to the contact points in the tip and tail for added pop, responsive, and stability. 2 X 4 Insert Binding Mounting 2x4 Insert packs allow for secure binding mounting while optimizing stance-width options. Time-tested, secure, and stable. K2 Instrument Snowboard Mens
