ALCHEMIST MEN'S SNOWBOARD - 2024

The most premium freeride board on the market. The North Star in the K2 Snowboarding snowboard offering, and the marquee of the Landscape Collection, the Alchemist is a hard-charging, directional freeride board for the skilled rider. A thirty-five-year history, collaborative rider input, and premium technology culminate in delivering the most aggressive and precision-crafted snowboard K2 has ever made. The Alchemist holds its ground as the most premium offering on freeride snowboarding today.

FEATURES:

• DIRECTIONAL COMBINATION CAMBER PROFILE: 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.
• RECESS 3D: By reducing the amount of materials in low-stress zones, K2 is able to reduce the swingweight of your snowboard, while also reducing chatter in the tip and tail - all without sacrificing strength.
• WAX INFUSED SINTERED 4001 BASE: Built using the hardest and fastest Sintered base material on the market from Crown, the Wax-Infused Sintered 4001 holds wax longer than other Sintered bases for a smoother glide, longer.
• S1 CORE: The smooth-flexing cousin to K2's A1 core, the NEW S1 Core is designed to be damp underfoot and stronger than hell. Constructed from Bamboo, Aspen, and Paulownia, the S1 Core let’s each wood do what it’s best for. Tip-to-tail Bamboo stringers add snap, durability, and damping underfoot and are balanced out by lightweight Paulownia in the midbody, tip, and tail help to reduce swingweight. Underfoot, Aspen and Bamboo are placed at 30 ° angles to increase strength, supercharge the edge-to-edge response, and increase the pressure distribution along the edge.
• SPECTRAL BRAID: An integrated carbon weave that runs the entire length of the board, intersecting at 90º angles in the tip and tail for adding torsional rigidity and responsiveness and a more relaxed angle between the inserts for handling and maneuverability.
• SPACEGLASS™: An American made Aerospace grade precure fiberglass core insert used to provide unmatched structural performance at reduced weight. SpaceGlass™ inserts increase edge hold along contact points, reduce chatter, and provide unequaled durability.
• CARBON POWER FORK™: Pre-cambered Carbon Power Fork™ additives are strategically shaped to offer greater response and energy return by increasing the width toward the tail - allowing for more material to be engaged, and more energy to be created the harder the tail is flexed. Add snap to ollies, increase edge pressure, and give energy in and out of turns.
• SNO-PHOBIC TOP SHEET: This top sheet material sheds unwanted snow build-up, keeping your snowboard light and nimble.
• 2 X 4 INSERT BINDING MOUNTING: 2x4 Insert packs allow for secure binding mounting while optimizing stance-width options. Time-tested, secure, and stable.
