Component Breakdown
S1 Core (Bamboo / Aspen / Paulownia)
"The smooth-flexing cousin to our A1 core, our 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." — Smoother and damper than the A1, with tip-to-tail Bamboo for snap and damping.
Triax Fiberglass (45°/45°/0°)
"A glass laminate with diagonal layers that adds torsional stiffness for increased stability and improved edge hold. The fibers three layers are woven at 45°, 45°, and 0°. This makes for a more responsive ride longitudinally and torsionally." — Triax fiberglass for torsional stiffness and edge hold.
Carbon Y-Beam™
"Adding snap and stability in the tail, and sending energy to the contact points in the nose - this means that you'll get the stability and edge pressure that you want, without the unnecessary torsional rigidity." — K2's Y-Beam carbon stringer: snap and stability in the tail, energy to the contact points in the nose. "Works in harmony with our new Carbon Y-Beam."
Wax-Infused Sintered 4001 Base + 3D Contour
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." 3D Base Contour: "3mm of 3D contour (spoon) that gradually blends from the running surface deflects soft snow, eases turn initiation, and remains predictable on hardpack." — K2's hardest, fastest sintered base with 3mm spoon in tip/tail for pivotability in deeper snow.
Tapered Directional Shape (Volume Shift)
"Slightly-wider than normal footprint" + Volume Shift: "We reduce swing weight and toe/heel drag by shifting surface area from the tip and tail to the waist of the snowboard. Downsize from 4-10 cm from your usual snowboard length." — Tapered directional with wider waist. Downsize from your usual board length for the Volume Shift platform.
Hybritech™ Construction
"Backed by years of rigorous testing, Hybritech™ is the lightest weight, most durable snowboard construction on the market. Removing all excess sidewall material in the tip and tail and adding a 3D capped edge to increase the bond strength of the fiberglass and decrease the swing weight of the board is what makes Hybritech™ so revolutionary." — K2's hybrid construction.

Shape & Profile
Tapered Directional / Volume Shift + 3D Contour
Built By Sage Kotsenburg With Exploration on the Mind — "Sage Kotsenburg linked up with our product design and engineering team and wanted to work on a new snowboard that was designed to ride pillowy, forested, technical terrain. The concept was to be able to 'pivot' and 'release' the tail freely to allow the rider to ride the natural contours of the terrain in front of them." S1 Core + Triax Fiberglass + Carbon Y-Beam™ + Wax-Infused Sintered 4001 base + 3D Base Contour + Hybritech™ + Tapered Directional + Volume Shift. 6 sizes (148-163 cm) with full per-size Eff.
