The K2 Afterblack was engineered for serious durability with a focus on classic freestyle flex, and feel, with modern maneuverability.We’ve taken a proven construction and design philosophy and listened to our team riders to bring together the all-new K2 Afterblack twin tip snowboard. Team rider Mark Wilson weighed in heavy on tip & tail shape, sidecut radius, blend zone, and camber profile. After rounds of testing on the hill and in the streets, we signed the dotted line on the second incarnation of the K2 Afterblack.Designed for the intermediate-to-expert level snowboarder, the Afterblack is a mid-flexing true-twin with a Combination Camber Profile (with camber in between the bindings and rocker on the outside of the inside) giving it a playful feel while still being able to hold speed and track straight into the next feature. Its tri-blend BAP™ Core blends bamboo, aspen, and paulownia woods to deliver snap and rebound while damping vibration on the harshest landings.
- Sintered 4000 Base - Hard, fast, and durable, our Sintered Base material holds wax better than extruded materials increasing speed and glide.
- BAP Core - A tri-blend wood core harnesses the rebound, strength, and feel of sustainably harvested Bamboo, Aspen, and Paulownia timber species.
- Triax Glass - A fiberglass weave intersecting at three angles provides extra torsional stiffness and overall strength.
- Carbon DarkWeb - Carbon stringers extend at 45º angles from the inserts in an “X” pattern, adding responsiveness and stability at all speeds.
- HYBRITECH Construction - Backed by years of rigorous testing, Hybritech is the most eco-friendly, lightest, and most durable snowboard construction on the market.
