THE EXCAVATOR 2026

In Search of Deep Carves & Deep Snow

The K2 Excavator excels at carving groomers and handling powder. With a wider profile and dual radius sidecut, it's suitable for all riders. The extra width allows sizing down by 5cm without losing performance and reduces toe drag for larger feet. Its S1 core and ICG™ 10 Biax Glass offer responsiveness and dampening, while Carbon Power Forks™ provide an energy boost for turns and ollies. Ideal for playful and floaty rides in powder conditions.
