K2 Men's Manifest Team 2021

The input that K2 gets from their riders drives the direction of the product line, and they went straight to the source to add a couple pro level tweaks to the team favorite Manifest. The Manifest Team references a shape, construction, and camber profile that the K2 Team trusts daily, and they’ve upgraded it with a faster-than-hell 5500 Carbon Infused Race Base and our all-new Bambooyah™ Pro Core.

Features:

• Shape: Directional
• Rocker: Combination Camber
• Core: Bambooyah™ Pro
• Base: Carbon Infused 5500 Carbon

Camber Profile:

Combination Camber Baseline

The best of both worlds. By blending both traditional Camber and Rocker profiles, Combination Camber gives you all the benefits of both; the pop and precision of camber, and the float and predictability of rocker.

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.

Bambooyah™ Pro Core

K2s all new Bambooyah™ Pro Core takes a decade of bamboo cores and takes it up another notch. Equal parts performance, renewable, and durable, they’ve blended three different species of wood to create the most premium core in K2s offering. Bamboo and aspen are placed at 30 ° underfoot to supercharge the edge to edge response and increase the pressure distribution along the edge. K2 also placed lightweight paulownia in the tip and tail help to reduce swingweight and complementary tip to tail bamboo stringers help with snap, stability, and damping

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.

Carbon Darkweb

A carbon fiber lay-up that aids in energy transfer and stability, speeding up edge-to-edge transitions and keeping you in control in times of need.
