K2 Special Effects 2024 Snowboard

Your ride in the backcountry

The K2 Special Effects was developed for the backcountry. It comes with a rocker shape that gives you an incredible amount of uplift. In addition, the contoured nose design lets you float on the soft snow and prevents too much snow from accumulating on the nose. The design of the tail allows it to plunge deep into powder, lifting the nose out of deep snow. We can already feel the powder turns.

Riding style
The Special Effects feels at home in deep, fresh powder. Off the hard slopes, far out, on snowy slopes and pillow lines.

Shape
The directional shape ensures uplift for trips out into the powder, offers stability and control and guarantees pop. The taper means the nose is wider than the tail and promotes smooth turn entry and exit, stability at speed and enhanced deep snow uplift. The larger volume in the front area allows you to make effortless turns in deep and soft snow and increases the float enormously.

Profile
The Special Effects comes with a flat profile under the bindings and a rocker at the nose. You'll enjoy endless uplift and not lose much edge hold. The swallowtail sinks deep into the snow.

Flex
A harder flex guarantees full control in all conditions

Construction
The Bambooyah™ Pro Core offers best performance, is extremely durable and made from renewable materials. Volume Shift™ redistributes the volume in the snowboard - this construction gives you a shorter but wider board that has the same float and stability as your normal board, but is more manoeuvrable due to its short length. The Biax fibreglass offers minimal torsional flex and a forgiving riding experience. The Sintered 4000 Base absorbs wax deep into the pores and ensures the best glide and long-lasting durability when properly cared for.

Snowboard er ofte levert klart til bruk med en vokset base og skarpe kanter. Likevel, "factory tuning" er ikke så veldig holdbar og ditt nye snowboard bør bli ordentlig vokset etter et par dager og vedlikeholdt.
