You're the Miles Davies of the slopes, and every ride is an epic solo of freewheeling snowboarding bebop. It's only natural that you're drawn towards the K2 Instrument Snowboard, an all mountain ripper that rewards the free-spirited rider. Its medium-firm profile and slightly tapered shape deliver exceptional all terrain capability, while the smooth flexing S1 Core and Carbon Torque Forks™ provide a great balance of power and response. Lay down tight solos on powder fields, hit the high notes on the groomers, and jam out to your heart's content through the chop. The K2 Instrument Snowboard is the full package.
Directional Camber Profile – The most responsive camber profile in the line features camber running from in front of the front foot to the tail of the board with slight early rise in the nose. This gives the rider the most precision and control possible in any terrain while still floating effortlessly in the deep stuff.
Flex Rating – 7 (1 Playful - 10 Precise)
Volume Shift™ – Volume is moved from the tips and tails of traditional snowboard shapes and placed underfoot where it can be better controlled. This makes a wider, shorter design that maintains the same float and stability of a traditional board, but increases mobility and maneuverability. Size down 4-6cm from your uaual snowboard length.
S1 Core – The smooth-flexing cousin to the A1 core, K2's new S1 core in designed to be damp underfoot and stronger than hell. Constructed from bamboo, aspen, and paulownia, the S1 core lets each wood do what it's best for. Tip-to-tail bamboo stringers add snap, durability, and dampening underfoot, and are balanced out by lightweight paulownia in the midbody, tip, and tail to help reduce swing weight. Underfoot, aspen and bamboo are placed at 30° angles to increase strength, supercharge edge-to-edge response, and increase pressure distribution along the edge.
ICG™ 10 Biaxial Carbon Glass – Integrating tip-to-tail carbon fiber stringers into fiberglass layups ensures a smooth power release in and out of turns while increasing pop, liveliness, and longevity 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, response, and stability
Sintered 4000 Base – The sintered 4000 base absorbs wax deep into the material for relentless glide and unrivaled durability.

The K2 Bond Snowboard Bindings take performance and sustainability to the next level. Think highbacks and straps made from castor beans, and footbeds made from scrap sugarcane. That would be awesome enough, but the fact that they absolutely rip, too? Say no more. If you want to ride with a clean conscience, the K2 Bond Snowboard Bindings are the only way to go.
Flex Rating – 7 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Module™ Chassis – Featured on all K2’s new bindings, the Module chassis is composed of a fiberglass infused nylon, and minimizes “dead” board flex zones directly underneath the binding. This in turn allows the rider to feel the flex and response of the entire board length, while providing maximum support, security, comfort, and vibration damping.
3° Sugarcane EVA Canted Harshmellow™ Footbed with Pods – Derived from scrap native sugarcane raised with minimal impact on rainforests, the footbeds on the Module chassis represent a huge leap toward the goal of carbon net-neutrality. Integrated with K2’s proprietary Harshmellow™ technology, these eco-conscious footbeds provide grip, cushion, and performance for all day riding in every condition.
This Grips™ Basepad – K2’s proprietary rubber compound, integrated onto the bottom of the Module chassis, provides vibration damping and cushion between board and binding, reducing fatigue and joint impact.
Team Highback – K2’s new Team Highback harnesses the strength and sustainability of the castor bean, and represents a huge step toward the goal of carbon net-neutrality.
Forward Lean Block
Single Density Ankle Strap – K2’s new single density ankle strap harnesses the strength and sustainability of the castor bean, and represents a huge step toward the goal of carbon net-neutrality.
Single Density Toe Strap – K2’s new single density toe strap harnesses the strength and sustainability of the castor bean, and represents a huge step toward the goal of carbon net-neutrality.
MultiMount™ Ankle Strap Mount Points – Featured on the Module™ Chassis, mulitple mount points for the ankle strap on the Module chassis allow for a fine-tuned, custom fit.
