Countless hours on the skin track. A healthy number of summits and ridgelines, and more pow turns than we can count. It’s all lead to this. The K2 Freeloader was built to climb faster, descend sharper, and get you further into the backcountry than any splitboard we’ve ever built.
Softer snowboards are easier to press and won’t kick your ass if you make a mistake. Stiffer decks are more stable at speed and super responsive edge-to-edge. Choose your poison.
Float Ratio :
32
Maximum volume for surfy vibes in the pow, or a smaller surface area for nimble freestyle performance. This number is calculated with length, width, 3D shape and surface distribution.
Shape
Tapered Directional – The tail width is slightly tapered (2-20 mm). This facilitates turn initiation and improves flotation in deeper snow without sacrificing edge-holding on hard snow.
Radial Sidecut – Radial is the classic sidecut for consistent forward and switch response.
Core
Aspen Select Core – Each strip of FSC-certified wood is hand-selected to ensure unsurpassed core quality and lightness.
Popster – The Popster core profile tapers underfoot and thickens on the outside of the bindings before tapering again at the tip and tail to maximize the wood’s natural snap and pop. It’s as if your skateboard kicktail is finally connected to your snowboard.
FSC-certified wood core
Laminated
Ghost Basalt Stringers – Basalt strings are sewn into a trail layer for durable pop, control and wet ride at speed, as well as easy handling when you stay calm.
Biaxial Medium Density Fiberglass – European-made layers of medium-density fiberglass guarantee consistent quality, for lightweight, lively boards.
Sidewalls
ABS Sidewalls – The molecular structure of ABS can be described as a concrete bar with rubber nuggets inside, combining strength for energy transfer and damping properties for impact absorption.
Base
Sintered base – Offers a moderate balance between the speed created by a hard surface and good wax retention.
Fine stone finish – The fine stone finish helps to accelerate in powder or softer snow conditions.
Edges
All-Mountain Edge Bevels – A 1° bevel for edge hold on key parts of the rib line and a 2° bevel between the feet. This gives very solid edge hold, without snagging.
Rhythm™ Core – Women’s specific core shaping and profiling using sustainably harvested timber to reduce weight and add maneuverability while retaining strength and liveliness.
Triax Glass – A fiberglass weave intersecting at three angles provides extra torsional stiffness and overall strength.
Carbon DarkWeb™ – Carbon stringers extend at 45º angles from the inserts in an “X” pattern, adding responsiveness and stability at all speeds.
Hybritech™ Sidewall Construction – A K2 exclusive. By transitioning from a P-Tex sidewall into a capped construction in the tip and tail of our snowboards, we are able to reduce waste while giving our snowboards better energy transfer and making them more durable than our competitors.
Sintered 4000 Base – Hard, fast, and durable, our Sintered Base material holds wax better that extruded materials increasing speed and glide.
