K2 Men's Instrument 2021

The turn’s best friend. The Instrument is a mid-flexing Directional ride that’s a little bit wider underfoot that specializes in floating in powder, charging through chop, and laying trenches on groomers. K2s Bambooyah™ Core, Carbon Torque Forks™, and durable SIntered 4000 Base are the key players in this member of K2s Freeride Collection.

Features:

• Shape: Directional
• Rocker: Camber
• Core: Bambooyah™
• Base: Sintered 4000 Base

Camber Profile:

Volume Shift™, Traditional Camber

Utilizing Traditional Camber and K2s Volume Shift™ design to add just the right amount of width to the board for carving trenches on groomers without reducing responsiveness. K2 utilizes Tweekend™ design philosophy in the nose of the board to make floating through powder fields feel like a dream

Shape:

Directional

Directional boards typically have a longer, pointier nose, with a stance set back towards the tail. This makes them better suited to riding forwards. These boards will carve well on the piste and plough easily through powder – since the short tail naturally sinks while the large nose floats over the snow.

Powder-specific models will often deploy a so-called ‘swallow tail’ to accentuate the effect.

Flex:

Bambooyah™ Blended Core

Taking influence from skateboard manufacturing, our Bambooyah™ Blended cores are stronger than hell

ICG 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

Biaxial Glass

Smooth all-purpose performance with a no-frills design. Fibers are woven together at 0° and 90°, creating a more forgiving flex pattern.

Carbon Torque Forks™

Adding carbon that extends from the inserts to the contact point allows for an extra responsive and stable ride.

Medium Responsive

Base:

Sintered 4000 Base

Our Sintered 4000 base absorbs wax deep into the material for relentless glide and unrivaled durability.
