For some of us, each run at the resort is like listening to a jazz band play a live show - it’s spontaneous, making decisions on the fly of where to carve, slash, and how fast to roll into the next side hit. The easiest way to describe it is to simply getting into the groove. The Instrument features a directional camber line and utilizes our Volume Shift™ design to add the correct width to the board for laying trenches on groomers. A longer radius in the tip of the board eases turn initiation, while a deeper sidecut underfoot helps to rail turns. The Instrument features a 3/4” inch setback and 10mm of taper to help it plane out in the deep stuff, and it features a hard, fast Sintered 4000 base. Inside, our sustainably sourced S1 core is equal parts durable and damp underfoot. Carbon Torque Forks™ extend from the insert pack to the contact points for responsive power transfer, and the entire package is wrapped in our ICG™ 10 Biax Fiberglass - featuring tip-to-tail carbon stringers for increased pop and extra stability for when it gets rowdy.  The Instrument is for those days where you don’t quite know what the forecast has in store.

With a 103mm last and a performance-oriented 120 flex, these boots are packed with features like our new and improved Cushfit Pro liner, updated Après Mode walk mode, Hands Free Entry, and a new, sleek heat-moldable shell, all of which add up to a boot that can be skied hard while providing all-day comfort.

For the snowboarder who refuses to sacrifice comfort and performance for convenience, K2’s Clicker™ X HB provides secure toe and heel mount points for an ultra-quick edge-to-edge response and natural lateral mobility for a familiar flex and feel. We’ve engineered a 3° cant directly into the chassis, helping to bring the knees together to place the user in a natural riding position. This makes turns feel more natural, alleviates foot pain, and takes unnecessary pressure off the knees and hips.

An adjustable heel cup allows riders to dial in their stance perfectly and gives an excellent spot for holding when hiking for the softest snow around. The highback features tool-less forward lean adjustment with two pre-set angles. Settings dial in at 0° for a traditional up-right feel and 6° for those looking for extra leverage on their heelside turns.

*Only compatible with K2 Clicker™ X HB snowboard boot models.

**Compatible with all modern mountign systems (i.e., 4-hole and channel).

The K2 Afterblack is a premium freestyle snowboard that specializes in night missions, wall rides, huge airs, and promises to come through in the clutch to give you the confidence to give it one more go. Designed for the intermediate-to-expert level snowboarder, the Afterblack is a mid-flexing true-twin with a Combination Camber Profile - with camber in between the bindings and rocker on the outside of the insiders - giving it a playful feel while still being able to hold speed and track straight into the next feature. It’s tri-blend BAP Core blends bamboo, aspen, and paulownia woods together to deliver snap and rebound while damping vibration on the harshest landings. Wrapping the core, tip-to-tail triaxially woven fiberglass and Carbon DarkWeb™ gives the Afterblack stability and edge control for popping off lips and sending big side hits, and the fast and durable Sintered 4000 base soaks up wax to ensure you’ll have enough speed to send you well past the knuckle and down to the sweet spot in the landing. Australian artist and designer Marcus Dixon illustrated the graphic on this season’s Afterblack. A morph of a flaming 8-ball transitioning into a flying eagle is paired with Marcus’ rendition on the classic K2 logo. A tonal, and logo-heavy base graphic provides a clean aesthetic that is easy  on the eyes.
