THE
INSTRUMENT
This is the Instrument Snowboard by K2.
THE TURN’S BEST FRIEND
For some riders, each resort run is like a spontaneous jazz performance, carving and hitting side hits with fluidity. Our directional snowboard embraces this groove.
Featuring a directional camber and Volume Shift™ design, it excels on groomers. The longer tip radius aids turn initiation, while a deeper sidecut underfoot allows precise carving. With a 3/4" setback and 10mm taper, it effortlessly glides through deep powder. The Sintered 4000 base ensures speed.
Inside, the sustainably sourced S1 core provides durability and dampening. Carbon Torque Forks™ deliver responsive power transfer, complemented by ICG™ 10 Biax Fiberglass for increased pop and stability.
Experience the rhythm and style of the Instrument.

TECHNOLOGY
S1 CORE:
NEW! S1 Core - Smooth flexing and durable enough to pack a five-year warranty, the S1 Core is made from three renewable species of timber - Bamboo, Aspen, and Paulownia. Aspen and Bamboo work together to highlight the snap and response of this wood and a Bamboo-dominant underfoot section at 30° to increase strength, supercharge the edge-to-edge response, and increase the pressure distribution along the edge. We’ve also placed lightweight paulownia in the tip and tail to help to reduce swing weight.
ICG™ 10 GLASS WITH CARBON:
Integrating Carbon Fiber stringers that run the length of the board into our fiberglass increases the snap of the snowboard without adding unnecessary rigidity.
CARBON TORQUE FORKS™:
Carbon stringers extend at 45º angles from the inserts toward the tip and tail, adding responsiveness and stability at all speeds.
HYBRITECH™ SIDEWALL CONSTRUCTION:
A K2 exclusive. By transitioning from a P-Tex sidewall into a capped construction in the tip and tail of our snowboards, we can reduce waste while giving our snowboards better energy transfer and making them more durable than our competitors.
SINTERED 4000 BASE:
Our Sintered 4000 base absorbs wax deep into the material for relentless glide and unrivaled durability.
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.
2 X 4 INSERT BINDING MOUNTING:
2x4 Insert packs allow for secure binding mounting while optimizing stance-width options.
Time-tested, secure, and stable.
