Product Details
Rocker Type
All Terrain Baseline™ – Designed for use anywhere on the mountain, All Terrain Baseline allows for effortless turns on hardpack but also provides ample float in softer snow and crud. Designed as a directional Baseline, AT has a medium rise through the tip and a lower rise in the tail. It's the perfect setup for the multi-purpose rider.
Tweekend™ – A revolutionary tweak to the ends of K2's industry leading Baseline technology. By extending the Baseline rocker all the way out to the absolute ends of the board, additional rideable surface is unlocked, giving you a bigger, more stable platform to press, float and land on.
Flex
Splitboards are meant for the snowboarder who has already conquered the resort. Generally a stiffer ride, splitboards are recommend for experts only.
Sidecut
Hyper Progressive – An infinite number of different radii are blended together smoothly - from mellow in the tips, to more aggressive in the center. The result is a super predictable feel that never hooks and is responsive at high speeds yet smooth enough to butter your way from the peak to park.
Core
Bambooyah™ Split – Bambooyah™ cores are skate style horizontally laminated bamboo cores that K2 challenges any rider to try and break. One bambooyah™ core per split.
UltraTech™ Construction – Designed specifically for the needs of backcountry splitboarder, UltraTech is extremely tough while still lightweight. Comprised of a molded edge that lands on a half height sidewall, this construction is optimized to take the abuse of using the board in "ski" mode while skinning.
Laminates
Bottom - Biaxial Glass – The classic structure laminate, biax glass provides smooth, all-purpose performance.
Top - ICG 20 – Integrating carbon into the fiberglass reduces overall weight and creating a super smooth release of power while increasing pop and liveliness. Each level of ICG is tailored for the rider's size and their performance needs.
Base
Ø Sintered – An ultra thin, lightweight, lower material usage, static eliminating base
Base Bevel – 1˚
Topsheet
No topsheet - lightweight
Additional Features
Z-Clip – K2's unique Z-Clips utilize the holes in the ski tips, avoid having to fold the skin over, reduce weight and prevent snow buildup under the tip while skinning. The result is better adhesion and more security.
Carbon Web™ II – Designed specifically to enhance Baseline technology, K2's Carbon Web brings the pop and snap of carbon closer to your bindings for maximum ollies and control in every situation.
Binding Compatibility
Split Track – Infinite stance angles are possible with Split Track binding mounting.

Terrain
Splitboarding A splitboard snowboard is built specifically for the backcountry rider. Splitboards are designed to break down into two separate halves for touring and uphill travel (with climbing skins). Special bindings are required as well. Once you've reached the top of the terrain feature, you reconnect your splitboard for the ride back downhill. However, it's important to note that you will need appropriate backcountry tools, knowledge of the backcountry, weather and snow conditions and climbing skins to safely take advantage of the freedom of a splitboard.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker/Flat/Rocker

Rocker Type
Rocker/Flat/Rocker Rocker/Flat/Rocker is another variation on the rocker theme that seeks to provide a little more hard snow edgehold and pop than full rocker while retaining ease of turning and float. Performance is between a fully rockered board and a flat board.

Flex Rating:
Stiff
More
Flex Rating
Stiff The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.
