Have your mind blown by the 2024 K2 Excavator. Designed for the new age carver that has to slash every lip insight on the way to the POW stashes. This board is built for fun but also knows when to be serious. The wider profile of the Excavator allows riders to size down 5cm from their usual snowboard size and allows you to get all of the performance out of a longer board without the extra swing weight. This extra width and 20mm of taper benefits riders with wider feet, reducing any “booting out” on those deep corduroy carves and long traverses but don't be afraid of the width both for male and female riders. Riding is believing!

BASE

Sintered, Stone Ground Race Base – High-end sintered 4000 Ptex base material that is more durable, harder and faster than extruded.

CORE 

PERFORMANCE™ CORE: High strength Aspen is combined with Bamboo and lightweight Paulownia wood to provide the perfect balance of strong and light.

SIDEWALLS

METAL SLIM WALLS: Metal Slim Wall that utilizes full-length Titanal Aluminum strips laminated into a urethane composite sandwich which provides superior edge hold, more efficient energy transfer, and unbeatable durability.

SIDECUT

Linear Quadric Sidecut - A directional sidecut utilizing Quadratic curvature from the tip to the rear insert pack, then progressing into a linear section into the tail. This creates smooth catch-free turn initiation and powerful support through the turn exit without losing grip.

LAMINATES:

SINGLE IMPACT PLATES LAMINATES: Added underneath each binding area to improve compressive strength and prevent board breaks where it matters most. 

CARBON ARRAY 5: This power distribution technology provides total board control in every stance location. Widespread carbon stringers placed at the binding zone gather input from any stance width and all pressure angles. Rider input is then channeled to the opposing contact point for maximum board control. Offered in two levels of technology, 3 & 5.

PRE-CURED GLASS FIBERGLASS: USA-made pre-cured fiberglass optimizes glass to resin ratios to create the most consistent flex pattern possible. No other glass provides this level of stability and control.

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.

ICG 10 Triax Carbon Fiberglass - Integrating tip to tail carbon fiber stringers into fiberglass lay-ups ensures a smooth power release in and out of turns while increasing pop, liveliness, and longevity of the snowboard without adding unnecessary rigidity.

Built at K2's Team's request and targeted at the advanced-to-expert level rider, the Antidote is a unisex all-mountain snowboard that blurs the lines between freeride and freestyle. The Andtdote is responsive and slightly setback for hard-charging, all-mountain ripping, but also, you wouldn't be wrong to think this looks a lot like a freestyle snowboard. It has full, traditional camber and is symmetrically shaped, making it super responsive through turns and balanced in the air. Whether you're throwing freestyle tricks into the deep stuff, playfully slaying big mountain, or just attacking the park and the rest of the mountain with equal intensity, the Antidote is the perfect new alternative to the tired choice between directional beefcakes and super soft park twin boards. A quiver killer some might say.
