K2 Alchemist Snowboard 2024

Engineered for full-throttle freeriding, the K2 Alchemist is a directional big gun designed to conquer the most challenging terrains. Its stiff, full camber build ensures unmatched power and edge hold, while the setback stance and upturned nose keep you afloat in the deepest conditions. This board is packed with cutting-edge technology, ensuring a super powerful, stable, and nimble ride.

Product Details

• Directional Camber Profile: The most responsive camber profile features camber running from in front of the front foot to the tail, with slight early rise in the nose. This provides precision and control in any terrain while still floating effortlessly in deep snow.

• S1 Core: Constructed from bamboo, aspen, and paulownia, the S1 core is designed to be damp underfoot and incredibly strong. Tip-to-tail bamboo stringers add snap, durability, and dampening, while lightweight paulownia reduces swing weight. Aspen and bamboo at 30° angles underfoot increase strength, edge-to-edge response, and pressure distribution.

• Triaxial Glass: Adds torsional stiffness for increased stability and improved edge hold with diagonal layers woven at 45°, 45°, and 0°.
• Spectral Braid™: Variable angle reinforcement that allows for precision-tuned torsion and flex by altering fiber orientation along the board’s length, making it lively, energetic, and remarkably composed.
• SpaceGlass™ Tip: Aerospace-grade fiberglass core insert provides unmatched structural performance at reduced weight, increasing edge hold and reducing chatter.
• Carbon Power Fork™: Strategically shaped carbon additives offer greater response and energy return, adding snap to ollies, increasing edge pressure, and providing energy in and out of turns.
• Recess3d: Reduces material in low-stress zones to lower swing weight and reduce chatter without sacrificing strength.

• Wax-Infused Sintered 4001 Base: The hardest and fastest sintered base material on the market, holds wax longer for smoother, longer-lasting glide.

• SnoPhobic Topsheet: Helps eliminate snow buildup in deep conditions.
