K2 Carve Air-2017 TEST snowboard deszka

ROCKER TYPE

Lifted™–Bringing a new level of pop to K2's baseline offerings, lifted takes the flat between the feet foundation and raises it. This brings in the pop of a cambered board while maintaining the neutrally weighted contact points that give you the straight tracking, effortless precision of a flat board.

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 ends of the board, an additional rideable surface is unlocked, giving you a bigger, more stable platform to press, float and land on.

Precision Baseline™–With flat contact points in the tip and tail, Precision Baseline™ turns and tracks like a traditonal camber board but without the unstable hook. By spreading the initial edge contact out over an extended flat contact zone, rider applied pressure is dispersed allowing for a feather light touch and quick response without the harsh hook.

FLEX

6 - 8–A stiff deck that has a little give for a deck that remains stable at high speed.

SHAPE

Enjoyer Series–Boards created with an open minded viewpoint of snowboarding. Seeking to create new turning experiences with a focus on clean, fluid style.

Directional Outline

CORE

W2 Core–Three species of renewable wood are assembled to optimize strenghth, reduce weight, and enhance damping without the addition of other materials.

Ollie Bar–A totally new approach to adding pop to a snowboard. Built in place in a pre-loaded, cambered shape, it solves the concern that rocker board don't have the pop camber boards have. Made with a secret layup of carbon, kevlar, and urethane layers, the Ollie Bar is positioned in the center of the board between the binding inserts. Strong ollies and pressing power doesn't come from the tail alone. The backbone center section is actually more critical for smooth, even pressure. You gotta try it to believe the pop.

LAMINATES

Triaxial Fiberglass–A glass laminate with diagonal layers that stiffens the board torsionally, giving you improved edge hold and increased stability for those off-axis landings at speed.

Biaxial Fiberglass–The classic structure laminate, biax glass provides balanced all-purpose flex and performance.

SIDEWALLS

Patented Hybritech™ Construction–Hybritech™ is the most efficient way to make a snowboard without sacrificing one ounce of performance. Featuring sidewall along the running surface that flows into the nose and tail providing low swing-weight, optimized turn initiation, and durability.

BASE

4000 Sintered–This is the fastest natural base material available. It is exceptionally durable and absorbs wax deep into the pores of the material to hold that well-waxed performance for as long as possible.

Die-Cut Base–Base color displayed may not be available. Base colors may vary.
