For the snowboarder who refuses to sacrifice comfort and performance for convenience, K2’s Clicker™ X HB provides secure toe and heel mount points for an ultra-quick edge-to-edge response and natural lateral mobility for a familiar flex and feel. We’ve engineered a 3° cant directly into the chassis, helping to bring the knees together to place the user in a natural riding position. This makes turns feel more natural, alleviates foot pain, and takes unnecessary pressure off the knees and hips.

An adjustable heel cup allows riders to dial in their stance perfectly and gives an excellent spot for holding when hiking for the softest snow around. The highback features tool-less forward lean adjustment with two pre-set angles. Settings dial in at 0° for a traditional up-right feel and 6° for those looking for extra leverage on their heelside turns.

*Only compatible with K2 Clicker™ X HB snowboard boot models.

**Compatible with all modern mountign systems (i.e., 4-hole and channel).

Built to withstand your longest, toughest adventures. The Dispatch LT weighs in at 1465g, has a solid 120 flex rating, walk mode boasting 60-degree range of motion, and Tourfit LT liner.

Rest easy knowing that your feet are no longer something you’ll need to worry about with the all new Dispatch LT.

 When the powder clouds leave for the foreseeable future, the K2 Mindbender 89Ti skis will keep things fun till the next storm hits. With the power of Titanal Y Beams over the edges keep turns feeling consistent no matter what the snow is doing under your feet. Nimble enough to tackle a mogul midfield but can still hold their own on a fresh snow day. These are the ones that put Mindbenders on the map and are up there with the best.

Replacing the 90ti from last year, this ski was reworked by K2 to retain the strengths of the old ski but add smoother turn initiation and a level of responsiveness. The new 2.0 version of Y Beam looks to distribute the weight and strengthening the beam a little differently, closer to the tips and tails of the skis. Couple that with a slightly different rocker profile and you've got a more playful ski and approachable ski than its predecessor. The ski really impressed us when we tested it; it's versatile all-mountain ski for a wide range of NZ skiers.

STYLE: All Mountain

ABILITY: Advanced / Expert

SHAPE: Rocker / Camber / Rocker

PARTIAL TWIN TIP

CAMBER

All-Terrain Rocker – Skis with All-Terrain rocker have a gradual rise to the tip for great versatility in all conditions, with a short, low rise in the tail for added control variable snow.

CORE

Aspen – Lightweight and resilient, Aspen is a great all-around core material.

LAMINATES

Ti Y-Beam – TCD-optimized shape, placing Titanal directly over the edges in the forebody of the ski for powerful and consistent turn entry in variable and off-piste conditions. Underfoot, the Titanal spans the full width of the ski for maximum power transfer and control. In the tail, the Titanal narrows, tapering to allow the ski to break free on the back end of the turn while still remaining supportive.

SIDEWALLS

PowerWall – Power transfer to the ski's edges is dramatically enhanced with oversized ABS sidewalls that are laminated and pocketed within the wood core in the midbody of the ski.

BINDING COMPATIBILITY

We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

SPECS:

Fully equipped and ready to rip, the Disruption 82Ti has all of K2's top tech including Titanal I-Beam construction and Dark Matter Damping. We gave it a big shovel and the widest waist width in the Disruption family to create a freakish combination of critical stability and confident edge control. You’ll be comfortable hitting top speed while still having the confidence to roll up on edge and spark arcs like you never thought possible.

CAMBER

Speed Rocker™: Short and low rise in the tip for quick turn initiation and precise steering.

CORE

Aspen Core: A single wood species ensures consistency - giving riders the advantage of a proven flex, durability, and snap.

LAMINATES

Dark Matter Damping - Dmd: Space. The final frontier. The object of many a child’s fascination. And yet with so much of this supra terra discovery, there’s still so much to uncover. We harnessed this great unknown —these depths beyond the conception of gravity as we know it — to improve edge contact on rough and firm snow. It’s called Dark Matter Damping — a process in which they sandwich a polymeric damper between two layers of high-modulus carbon, and strategically place it along the ski edge. While your grasp of the outer reaches of our celestial sphere may be limited, DMD is a much simpler construct: improved edge grip and control. And with more grip and control, you can push faster, harder, and pull into the turn like never before. Get ready for liftoff, it’s time to rage.

Titanal I-beam: Titanal runs tip to tail along the center of the ski, optimally shaped for stability and precision through the entire turn.

SIDEWALLS

Powerwall: Power transfer is dramatically enhanced with the oversized ABS sidewalls that are laminated and pocketed within the woodcore in the midbody of the ski. With the sidewall extending into the heart of the ski, the transmission of energy from skier to ski edge is direct and precise.

Flex

Flex Rating – 8 (1 Playful - 10 Precise)

Core

A1 Core – Lightweight, snappy, and durable, the all-new A1 Core is made from three renewable species of timber - bamboo, aspen, and paulownia. Aspen-dominant to highlight the snap and response of this wood, it's combined with bamboo at 30 ° underfoot to increase strength, supercharge the edge-to-edge response, and increase the pressure distribution along the edge. They've also placed lightweight paulownia in the tip and tail help to reduce swing weight.

Laminates

ICG™ 20 Triaxial Carbon Glass – Integrating tip-to-tail carbon fiber stringers into fiberglass layups ensures a smooth power release in and out of turns while increasing pop, liveliness, and longevity of the snowboard without adding unnecessary rigidity.

Carbon DarkWeb™ – A carbon fiber X-pattern that is strategically placed underfoot from edge-to-edge to speed up transitions, increase control, and increase underfoot strength.

SpaceGlass™ Tip and Tail – An American made Aerospace grade precure fiberglass core insert used to provide unmatched structural performance at reduced weight. SpaceGlass™ inserts increase edge hold along contact points, reduce chatter, and provide unequaled durability.

Base

Wax-Infused Sintered 4001 Base – Built using the hardest and fasted sintered base material on the market, the Wax-Infused Sintered 4001 Base holds wax longer than other sintered bases for smoother, longer lasting glide.

3D Nose Contour – 3D contour (spoon) that is gradually blended from the running sur-face deflects soft snow, eases turn initiation, while remaining predictable on hardpack.

Topsheet

recess3d Topsheet – By reducing the amount of materials in low-stress zones, K2 is able to reduce the swing weight of your snowboard, while also reducing chatter in the tip and tail - all without sacrificing strength.

A freestyle staple for over a decade, the K2 Darko is the perfect blend of classic and modern and is designed to keep you lapping in comfort and style.

Mid-to-soft in flex, the Darko is packed with no-nonsense technology that works and offers an unparalleled fit. When designing the K2 Darko snowboard boot, we combined tried-and-true traditional shell lacing with Mobility Conda™ liner lacing, powered by a BOA® dial liner.

Our Mobility Conda™ technology is micro-adjustable to provide superior heel hold and support. Underfoot, we’ve placed our RollSole™ outsole atop a lightweight EVA midsole, maximizing medial flex and range of motion for grabs, tweaks, and presses, all while keeping your feet, ankles, and knees protected from the impact of those harsh landings.

The breathable Intuition® Control Foam 3D liner is heat moldable to the exact shape of your feet and features ankle pockets and internal and external j-bars to hug your feet while keeping them warm and dry until you call it quits.

Triaxial Braided Core -  K2-patented process that interlocks strands of fiberglass around a milled core for pronounced torsional strength while retaining the flex patterns inherent in a wood ski.

SIDEWALLS

TwinTech Sidewalls - 

When soft snow is in short supply, turn to the K2 Mindbender 89Ti men’s freeride ski. Although it's built with the same Titanal Y-Beam construction and All-Terrain Rocker profile as its other metal-reinforced Mindbender siblings, the 89Ti stands apart thanks to a narrower waist width. Its All-Terrain Rocker profile knows no bounds and keeps you nimble enough to navigate bumps, trees, and the occasional chop. The result is a ski that has the precise edge hold you need to dominate the hardpack but is still wide enough for forays into the ungroomed.
