1213 K2 SNOWBOARD

Page 1


K2 Snowboarding was born in the US Pacific Northwest in 1987. Back then snowboarding was in its infancy, and the Northwest became known as the underground outpost for a sport still trying to define itself. With a culture as hardcore as the terrain being ridden, K2 came up developing and supplying gear to some of the best and gnarliest riders from Bend to Baker.

25 years later K2 continues to remain true to those Northwest snowboarding roots. Roots set in the basic idea of enjoying the mountains with friends. Most of the time that means pushing each other and the gear we use. After years of exploring the goodtimes and pushing progression, the Northwest has chopped and chiseled K2 into what it is today.

Have a great season and thank you for your support!

BASELINE TECHNOLOGY DEFIne your style

K2 pioneered the rocker revolution back in 2005 with the reintroduction of the Gyrator and it’s Powder Rocker Baseline. Since then the Baseline offering has grown but remained consistent and easy to understand. Helping to cut through the rocker confusion and allowing consumers to quickly understand the benefits of rocker and select the right rocker for how and where they ride. Baseline is the line the steel edge makes on the bottom of the board and can be made up of Rocker, Camber, Flat or any combination of these. We offer five different Baselines each tailored to a different type of snowboarding. From the responsive and poppy feel of Flatline all the way to dished up BC Rocker, there is a Baseline that perfectly matches your individual snow sliding style.

BASELINE & TWEEKEND 101 Baseline profiles have 3 zones in the tip and tail. Baseline with Tweekend profiles have only 2 zones. Tweekend combines the rocker zone and the tip rise. This smooth uninterrupted rocker allows the rider to rock back and feel no change in support. You can now pressure and use the whole surface out to the end of the board. More board means more support, buttering platform and landing gear.

The Fr eestyle Solution

Shr ed it all Versatility

Soft snow float & control

Camber pop without the hook

By bringing the contact points out of the snow, turns happen before the edge bites and – voila! – no catch. This small amount of Rocker results in more confidence throughout the learning curve and unlocks faster progression on all terrain.

Jib Rocker Baseline is a versatile twin Rocker built to dominate any freestyle line. Just enough rise in the tip and tail contact points to create a loose, buttery feel while maintaining instant response and pop.

Designed for use throughout the mountain, All Terrain Rocker allows for effortless turns on hardpack but also provides ample float in softer snow and crud. A setback stance and medium rise through the tip and a lower rise in the tail defines this multi-purpose freerider.

BC Rocker delivers the most Rocker for the most snow, enabling you to float through anything while maintaining a high-level of performance on groomed terrain. A slightly flatter tail adds edge bite and control for critical landings and pointing it at high speeds.

Demanded by the K2 International Pro Team and proven through multiple awards, K2 pioneered the Flatline base profile. Preloaded, stable, and turnready, Flatline creates a supremely balanced, smooth ride for both aspiring and accomplished pros.

Exploration Northwest

Northwest Collaboration Airblaster is a company whose original slogan was “We do whatever we want!” With this spirit as our guiding light, we set off on this collaboration effort with Airblaster. From the beginning, they wanted to create a graphic that had never been done before. The concept was to push the limits of a blank board… Instead of throwing neon confetti and giant logos at people, they wanted to make people stop in their tracks… Create a bold yet almost blank deck that stands out in a row of 50 busy board graphics! Black top sheet, black sidewall, black base. Red top sheet, red sidewall, red base. Whether you see it on the rack or on the hill, you have to walk over and check it out. Who is responsible for this awesome shred sled!? You have to pick it up to find out.

POP COMES PRE-LOADED

By tweaking the ends of our boards we have taken the industry leading Baseline technology to the next level. By extending the Baseline rocker all the way out to the absolute ends of the board, new rideable surface is unlocked, giving you a bigger, more stable platform to press, float and land on.

Bambooyah™ cores are skate style horizontally laminated bamboo cores that we challenge any rider to try and break. Offered in two levels of industrial shred-grade strength; Bambooyah with its 5 year limited warranty and Bambooyah Blend with 2 years of coverage.

K2’s proprietary vibration dampening system is built into all three of our hardgoods categories. Harshmellow™ is a magical compound that maximizes fun by decreasing negative vibes, leg burn and rough landings. Positioned in the insert area in our top end boards to stop vibrations before they enter your bindings.

Solving the concern over loss of pop when switching from camber to rocker profiles, we introduce the Ollie Bar. This 100% carbon element lives in the center of the board and is molded in place, pre-loaded with camber. Lively camber pop no matter what Baseline the board has.

URETHANE. A BETTER HIGHBACK MATERIAL After 5 years of testing in all types of snowboarding situations and styles we have found that urethane is simply a better material for highbacks. It gives the rider more ability to fine tune their line or flex out a grab; while still giving enough heelside support for hard charging riding. Now offered in a number of different geometry based flexes, the Tweakback is charging out of the park and onto the whole mountain.

PILLOWY CUSH WITH TONS OF BOARD FEEL

SOLID, LONG-LASTING FUNCTION

ONE RATCHET SPEED, TWO RATCHET PERFORMANCE

Continuing its all-purpose, all category usage, HARSHMELLOW’s™ vibration dampening properties are placed in the heel and toe of the binding to absorb chatter and suck up sudden impact from flat landings and rough terrain.

The K2 R&D department has taken a step back and completely redesigned the inner workings of our ratchets. Focusing on long lasting, smooth operation; the result of this two year design study and production ramp up are the ultra dependable ultra buttery feeling RADchets.

K2’s exclusive binding innovation Automatically closes and opens the toe strap with the ankle strap. The speed and weight savings of a single ratchet system with all the tested performance and feel of a two strap, you can have both.

Boa® Conda™

K2 Conda™

FIT ON-THE-FLY The patented K2 Conda™ System allows you to tighten or loosen your liner on-the-fly from outside of the boot! The first time you try this, you’ll wonder how you ever rode without it. How it Works: Whether attached to a Boa® reel for a mechanical advantage or to the single pull and lock of the K2 Conda System, the Conda minimized harness is securely built into the shell of the boot and tightens around the liner to lock your foot in position. Focus is on superior ankle support and heel hold. The harness lace is threaded through a floating tongue lace guide, allowing riders to customize fit for maximum comfort.

CONSISTENT FLEX AND FIT FOR LIFE A complete rethink of how a boot is constructed and flexes. Endo brings precise, engineered flex that stays consistent from day one through the life of the boot. Also, the 100% urethane Endo structure adds a lively, energetic feel that reduces fatigue and just feels good. How it Works: The Endo construction is based on a urethane endoskeletal structure that focuses boot structure and flex into a single engineered part. The result is a structure that flexes and returns without breaking down when compared to the stitch and glue construction of traditional boots. So you get consistent flex and a boot that returns to a neutral riding position quicker and with more energy, which helps you ride longer.

STOMPS OUT HARSH LANDINGS Formulated for long lasting impact absorption and vibration killing, the same Harshmellow material used in boards and bindings can be found in our boots. Integrated in the heel and forefoot areas of our top boots. minimizing rebound and making landings softer and more controlled.

K2 SNOWBOARDING / TECHNOLOGY / BOARD COLLECTION / 2012.13

K2 Construction TECHNOLOGY:

K2 Core TECHNOLOGY:

Bambooyah™ expands out into more models in this it’s third year. We now offer original Bambooyah cores and the all new Bambooyah Blend cores. Created for models that could benefit from just a little bit of Bambooyah’s incredible strength. A little bit of Bambooyah goes a long way.

BAMBOOYAH® BLEND

HYBRILIGHT Construction

K2’s Hybrilight Construction features a thin, constant thickness sidewall designed for maximum performance and minimal material usage. The result is a lighter, more advanced snowboard with significantly less waste produced in manufacturing. Better on hill and greener for the hill.

PATENTED HYBRITECH

Hybritech™ is the most efficient way to make a snowboard without sacrificing one ounce of performance. Featuring sidewall along the running surface that flows into the nose and tail providing low swing-weight, optimized turn initiation, and durability.

HYBRITAPER

Hybritaper takes our Hybritech Construction, and tapers out the core at the tip and tail to reduce the swing weight. We blend the tips from a cap into a thin sandwich removing material where you don’t need it.

JIBTIP

Jib Tip allows you to drop down 5 cm in board size without losing the stability of a longer board. Perfecting jibs, butters, flips, and spins has never been easier.

BAMBOOYAH®

HONEYKOMB TECHNOLOGY:

K2’s Honeykomb cores use a urethane-skinned Honeykomb™ for bonding strength and durability. Always placed on the bottom of the core means you get all the benefits of Honeykomb partnered with the tried and true performance of tip-totail, rail-to-rail wood.

ADDitives:

BC SHAPING:

DESIGN THAT STARTS WITH SOFT SNOW

WH4 CORE:

Soft snow turns are different. Turns and control comes from not only carving but also pushing and displacing snow. A different turn requires a different shape. With a longer tip blend and delayed initiation of the sidecut, our new BC shaping eliminates the over steering that can come form traditional hard snow based design.

The Ollie Bar is a totally new approach to adding pop to a snowboard. Built in place in a pre-loaded, cambered shape it solves the concern that rocker board don’t have the pop camber boards have.

Longer tip blendzone

Made with a secret lay up of carbon, Kevlar and glass layers, the ollie bar is positioned in the center of the board between the binding inserts. Strong ollies and pressing power doesn’t come from the tail alone. The backbone center section is actually more critical for smooth even pressure. You gotta try it to believe the pop.

This feature allows for a smoother and more controlled line. By initiating a turn on the blend as opposed to on the sidecut, the board is less hooky with less over steering

Compact Sidecut

Weighting the center of the board engages the rocker specific sidecut of the BC shaping. This now shorter length sidecut (not shorter radius) locks a turn and keeps control at any speed or on any snow pack.

The WH4 Core pulls every trick from our bag of core tech. With a greater percentage of Honeykomb than the WH3 Core, it’s engineered to maintain durability at minimal weight.

K2 TECHNOLOGY:

WH3 CORE:

Using the same wood lay up as the W2 core; Our WH3 adds two strips of Honeykomb material between the bindings and the rails.

Longer tail blend and shorter tail

Allowing the tail to sink without sacrificing switch riding performance. This combo has a super quick skateboard kicktail feel that can pivot in tight trees, but still support you when landing cliffs or slashing high speed turns.

Tweekends integration

Tweekends compliments this design by mellowing the amount of rocker change in the tip area. Providing a constantly changing geometry that is smooth and predictable. This also eliminated “loop out” when landing in the back seat.

Glass TECHNOLOGY:

ADDitives:

BIAXIAL GLASS

ICG GLASS

The classic structure laminate, biax glass provides the smooth, all-purpose performance.

TRIAXIAL GLASS

CARBON WEB

SIDecut TECHNOLOGY:

Base Technology:

Different sidecuts give our boards many unique handling characteristics. K2’s Progressive sidecuts are advanced combinations of blended arches fined tuned to make your days on the hill more fun and less strenuous, keeping you in control at all times.

Ø SINTERED

• Ultra thin, static eliminating base • Lightweight, lower material usage • Highest quality sintered available anywhere!

HYPER PROGRESSIVE

4000 SINTERED

DUAL PROGRESSIVE

Designed for any level of rider, our Dual Progressive sidecut is a mistake friendly, fun and forgiving sidecut, which allows for more consistent riding in all situations.

Three species of renewable wood are assembled to optimize strength, reduce weight, and enhance damping without the addition of other materials.

Integrating carbon into the fiberglass reducing overall weight and creating a super smooth release of power while increasing pop and liveliness. Each level of ICG is tailored for the rider at hand and their performance needs.

A glass laminate with diagonal layers that stiffens the board torsionally. Giving you improved edge hold and increased stability for those off-axis landings.

An infinite number of different radius are blended together flawlessly from mellow in the tips, to more aggressive in the center. The result is a super predictable feel that never hooks. Responsive at high speeds and smooth enough to butter your way from the peak to park.

W2 CORE:

Designed specifically to enhance Baseline technology, our Carbon Web bring the pop and snap of carbon closer to your bindings for maximum Ollies and control in every situation. Offered in two levels of sensitivity.

• Fastest natural base material available • Exceptionally Durable • Absorbs deeper & retains wax longer riding in all situations.

2000 EXTRUDED

• Fast & durable • Easy to tune & repair

W1 CORE:

Our W1 core is characterized by a single species of pure wood with proven flex, durability, and snap. This is our standard core for entry to mid level boards.

K2 ECO Awareness: EARTH CONSCIOUS Construction

What’s more important than preserving the best days of our lives? That’s why we’re committed to Earth Conscious and Hybrilight Constructions. A stack up of material selection and elimination technologies that results in 25% fewer plastics used than in the average board.

OUTSOLE TECHNOLOGY

THE ORIGINAL BOA BOOT COMPANY:

After bringing the first Vibram® sole to snowboarding seven seasons ago, K2 once again teams up with the best soles in footwear. Recognized as “best in class” for soles in every category in which they participate, Vibram® is the standard for grip and durability.

K2 introduced Boa® lacing systems to the snowboard market eleven years ago and now, more than ever, K2’s decade plus of experience with Boa® is a stand out advantage. With exclusive Boa features like K2 Boa® Conda™, low-friction, low-profile guides, paired with the smooth clicks of the all-new H3 reel, K2 continues to offer the most progressive, comfortable and fastest Boa® systems on the market.

K2 and Intuition™ continue to evolve the most comfortable and best performance-driven boot liners in the world. Using Ultralon® EVA, a patented foam developed specifically to be lightweight, moldable, flexible and durable for riders at all skill levels, our Intuition liners are designed to be custom molded to your foot shape. This can be done in at your local snowboard shop or the heat molding can take place on hill as your body heat activates and molds the foam while you ride. Either way it’s the best personalized fit you can get.
